Breedlove’s Atlas Series concert body guitars are unlike anything else on the market: pinless bridges, JLD bridge truss system, scalloped bracing. These aspects of Breedlove technology lead to a more resonant concert body guitar that compares favorably to much more expensive models. The Breedlove AC25/SM model is constructed from a solid sitka spruce top along with a solid mahogany back, to produce a versatile guitar that would work well for many different playing styles, yet works particularly well for fingerpicking, fingering, smooth strumming, and slide playing, resulting in clear but “whiny” notes.
The AC25/SM comes equipped with Fishman Classic IV electronics, including bass, middle, treble, brightness and volume controls, with a final pin output. This Breedlove guitar model also comes equipped with a smooth cutaway, allowing easy access to the upper fretboard, which for many fingerstyle players is a must.
Breedlove’s AC25/SM model has a brown headstock along with tortoise binding and a gloss finish, which complement the mahogany well. The AC25/SM does not come with a pickguard however you can easily use a removable pickguard with the gloss finish and therefore have the benefit of a more resonant top (no plastic sound quenchers) but you can also use picks without worrying about scratching the finish. Other features include gold Grover tuning machines, dot inlay pattern, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and Micarta nut and saddle (1 11/16″ wide). The model also comes with a Breedlove hybrid soft case which, unlike a soft bag, provides ultimate protection for your instrument.
