The Breedlove Discovery S CE European Spruce Concert acoustic-electric guitar offers an ideal combination of playability, tone and eco-conscious craftsmanship. Made from FSC-certified woods, this guitar produces a bright, balanced tone that inspires you to play for hours. Its slim C-shaped neck and narrow nut provide comfortable action for any playing style. The solid European spruce top and mahogany back and sides generate a classic acoustic sound with shimmering highs, warm lows and excellent projection. The built-in Fishman Presys I electronics and tuner allow you to plug in and rock out when playing live or recording in the studio. For an affordable, earth-friendly guitar that sounds and plays like models costing much more, the Discovery S CE is an excellent choice.

Sustainably Sourced Tonewoods

Breedlove built the Discovery S CE with eco-friendly tonewoods to minimize impact on forests. The solid European spruce top is sustainably harvested from the Italian Alps, producing a bright, responsive tone. Mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth. An ovangkol neck provides stability and sustain. These FSC-certified woods are carefully selected and harvested using responsible forestry practices. You can feel good knowing your guitar comes from sustainable sources.

Sustain for Days Thanks to Cascade Bracing

Breedlove's Cascade bracing optimizes the Discovery S CE's tonewoods to produce impressive sustain and resonance. By scalloping and tapering the braces, Breedlove's luthiers have crafted a lightweight yet sturdy bracing system. This innovative bracing, inspired by the Cascade Mountains, provides Custom Shop-level sound quality and projection. When you strum a chord, notes ring out with shimmering clarity and sustain.

Easy Playability

With its slim C-shaped neck, narrow nut and medium frets, the Discovery S CE feels instantly comfortable in your hands. The neck's smooth, satin finish allows your fingers to glide along the fingerboard. A cutaway provides easy access to higher frets. Whether you prefer fingerstyle or energetic strumming, this guitar's ergonomic design supports your playing style. Its lightweight body rests comfortably against your torso, inspiring long jam sessions.

Plug in and Perform

The built-in Fishman Presys I pickup and tuner system gives you flexibility in how you use your Discovery S CE. Plug into an amplifier to fill a room with your guitar's natural acoustic tone using the undersaddle piezo pickup. Shape your amplified sound with the three-band EQ and volume control. An onboard tuner ensures you always sound your best. With high-quality electronics and simple controls, the Discovery S CE transitions seamlessly between unplugged practice and plugged-in performance.
