Product Overview
Breedlove's Discovery Dreadnought SB offers substantial projection for ensemble work, and yet retains the refinement needed for vocal accompaniment. This easy-to-play instrument is ideal for entry-level players who want access to the renowned balance and clarity of a Breedlove guitar.
Breedlove Discovery Dreadnought SB Features:
- Body Shape: Breedlove set out to enhance the traditional dreadnought sound, and the results are evident. If you’re inspired by the familiarity of a dread, but are looking for more nuance and richness than usual, the Breedlove Dreadnought delivers. The shape is slightly more rounded than traditional dreadnoughts and produces beautifully full, punchy, and articulate tones. It also provides excellent projection and articulation, so it excels in any ensemble. The hand-graduated top provides the balance and clarity that make this one of the most innovative and expressive-sounding dreadnoughts on the market.
- Top Wood: The Sitka spruce is strong, light, and produces focused tone for warm sound.
- Breedlove Pinless Bridge: The Pinless Bridge maintains integrity of the top by eliminating the need for six drilled string holes. This allows a more even sound wave without any loss of energy, and also provides a gentler string-break angle from the bridge to the top of the saddle to reduce saddle strain.
- Breedlove Neck: A slimmer neck profile enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. The adjustable play action and neck angle make for ideal playability.
