This highly responsive, concert-ready 12-string rings beautifully-enhanced by the company’s new bridge truss-and boasts a sustainable cedar top and mahogany back and sides, a side port for easy listening, and a Fishman pickup system.
12-string guitars can be…polarizing, but like them or loathe them, you can’t deny the centrality of that ringing sound to some of the past half-century’s most iconic music. You know, Hotel California, Over the Hills and Far Away, Wish You Were Here-just to name a few of the anthems girded by a double dose of steel strings. We designed the Solo Concert 12-String for players looking for a robust yet nuanced 12-String guitar, one that’s not a gimmicky sideshow but a purpose-built professional-grade instrument. The side monitor soundhole virtually puts you in the audience while you play, without diminishing the forward sound projection of your music, a particularly useful feature when playing with a group of musicians. The tone is warm and rich with a solid red cedar top and solid African Mahogany back and sides, and that sound remains clear and full when plugged in with Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics. The cutaway body allows players full access to the entire ovangkol fretboard for when you want to get weird up the scale. Say what you will about 12-strings, but play this one before casting any aspersions. (Courtesy of Breedlove.)

I have MORE than a feeling about this guitar!
I ordered this guitar yesterday,
I'll be here Friday 10-6-23.
Can't Wait 😊
I'm taking a serous look at this 12 string. So how did it work out for you...meet your expectations? Anything you wish was different? Thanks, Greg.
@@dvanolya Thanks for your response. My Breedlove 12
is one of six guitars. It gives me a beautifully warm sound.
I'd most definitely buy it again.
All my very best to you and yours. Hope we speak again.
Breedlove is my favorite acoustic. I sadly gave away one a few years back because I was moving. I’ve regretted it. But happily I bought a new one. I’m as happy as a clam. My new one has solid myrtlewood back and sides and solid Oregon spruce top. No side soundhole. But they’re always pushing the bar. I love their playability and tone. The concert size is more favorable for shorter folks like me. I can’t put mine down since I got my new Breedlove a few months ago.
Sounds magnificent!!
Breedlove is my first guitar. Atlas model. I'll keep her my entire life.
Always have had great experiences with BREEDLOVE Guitars. Incredible sound and tone! Customer service is second to none. Can’t wait to add this 12 string model to the arsenal! Thank you JOHN!🙏🎸⭐️
Am impressed with the body of tones from this small sized 12string 😎👍
I just bought a 2006 Breedlove Atlas Fretless Acoustic Bass. Such an amazing sounding instrument and brand. Makes me feel like a better player.
The problem with that side hole I could really hear how bad I am.😂😂😂
😎👍
Yeah...but ya gotta admit, that hole sure makes it easier to get out the pick ya dropped in the sound hole 😉
John !!!! ...this was my fave demo of any acoustic this year!!! ....just amazing and I OWN a 12er and might have to buy this one asap !!! ....thanks for kicking ass 24/7 !!!
I’ve owned a couple of BreedLoves all of them excellent guitars! I especially like the one with the cedar top! Never tried one of their twelve strings. It might be time. Thanks John nice over view!
Thanks John, great review as always.
Such a great 12 string...personally I'd yank the Fishman and install a Tonewood and just keep mic'ing it.
Bet it would RIP with a Baggs soundhole pickup in it. 🙂they need to come preinstalled with it or at least offer the option of one or the other.
I just installed an M80 in my Atlas jumbo 12. Yeah, it does.
Player and guitar 🎸 both sound AMAZING
Your "Over The Hills" rendition shows why we compress the hell out of our 12-strings for single notes. The strings simply lose too much kinetic energy during a pull-off.
(:
Wishing these had a pickguard after watching this. I hit the top a lot too!
John ... stop, STOP. Between the great sound this guitar is putting out & your playing/description/selling of it, would love to try this guitar. Not to mention the apparent small size. Have never really wanted or lusted after any 12 string - Ever. But this one... Wow
I would continue using that little Mic you are using
Sorry - don't use Telegram or any of the other ones
That Sound ........The shit I could do with that ! Have a huge Twelve Seagull , at a gig pulled my electric cord was rapped around the Seagull on stand broke the Neck Clean OFF
I wonder if the ported waist makes the box behave like an open-back speaker cab?
Prob dumb question but I'm old & senile>>>what were those songs he was playing at the start?
What happened to the Breedlove bridge?
Mic’d it was good the onboard pickup sounded thin.
What happened to myrtlewood???
It sounds phenomenal when not using the electronics. Then it got really glassy and wiry.
American made?
I have a couple of Breedloves ... like them a lot. I'm a little disappointed with the tone of your video ... very dark. BTW the bridge truss is not new to Breedlove at all. One of mine is a cedar top concert ... big fan of that tone.
Nothing new about the Breedlove truss system or scalloped bracing but still a guitar I'll be keeping an eye on, providing they don't ALL have mismatched tops -- wow, this isn't something Breedlove should be bragging about.
Organic? As opposed to what? Metallic guitars? Good god...
Sounds awesome but the pick sounds very ice picky and brittle.
There’s nothing not to like about this guitar…save one thing. I’m having a problem with paying $1,199 (the street retail price given on the Breedlove website) for a guitar built in China. It’s not a political or ethical issue for me. It’s one of economy.
The price point puts the guitar in the lower end of the range of North American built acoustic guitars but from a manufacturing point of origin that’s typically offering similar instruments at half the price point. I can’t help but state that I’ve played and owned amazing Chinese manufactured 12 string acoustic guitars that I purchased new, in recent years, for $500-$600.
I always try before I buy acoustic instruments. The only way I could justify the purchase of this guitar at $1,200 is if I were to go into a guitar shop and play this model and have it elicit the same kind of ecstatic emotional response that I experienced the first time I made love to a woman (save the involvement of any bodily fluid…yeah, I know…TMI).
Unrealistic?
No. As a real world example, I played and bought a mid ‘50s Gibson ES140T at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville about 20-25 years ago and had this kind of experience. That guitar cost me about $1,250, for the record. It was worth every penny to me.
Breedlove needs to rethink what’s an acceptable profit margin for this model. I realize they’re not a charity and are a business. I also realize that someone in charge of marketing and sales made a bad call in making the decision to set the price point where it is when realistically they’d sell a lot more of this product by offering it at $999. Frankly it’s not worth $1,199.
Now, I could be wrong (wouldn’t be the first time) and discover my error after I play one; yet in the 41 years as a guitarist and after the hundred+ guitars of all types I’ve bought and either kept or sold, the aforementioned Gibson and and another guitar, with a story for another time, are the only ones that were music gear crack for me. Odds are this one will not be my number three.
