2023 Five Star Select Custom Breedlove Concert CE - Port Orford Cedar/ Myrtlewood 

Celebrating Our 25th Anniversary

Limited Edition one of a kind 

We take great pleasure in presenting the latest addition to the Five Star Select collection: 2023 Five Star Select Breedlove Concert CE Port Orford Cedar and Myrtlewood. Limited to just five pieces worldwide, these meticulously designed instruments were born from a harmonious collaboration between Breedlove and Five Star Guitars. Every element of these guitars has been carefully curated and meticulously assembled to reach the perfect mix of quality, performance and aesthetic. The result is a selection of instruments that epitomize excellence, down to the most minute details, all expertly spec'd by Five Star Guitars and Breedlove. Our team of skilled professionals ensures that each guitar is thoroughly inspected and artfully set up. Get ready to discover why "There's no place like tone" with Five Star Select!

This beauty features a Port Orford top for a robust, responsive sound, both warm and resonant with dynamic range to accommodate a wide array of genres and styles. Popularized by Breedlove, Myrtlewood back and sides bound with Koa combine the best elements of rosewood, mahogany and maple—rich bass, warm midrange and clear, bright trebles—for truly versatile guitars. Each sonically distinct instrument is individualized by the gnarled, wildly varied, but always arresting grain patterns, this one in Tiger's Eye gloss for a warm and resonant low end, sparkly treble, a scooped midrange perfect for singers, and complex overtones with rich sustain. 

A semi-gloss Tiger's Eye burst Honduran Mahogany "C" neck supports an Ebony fingerboard with a 16" radius and offset Koa inlays with Atlante Mother-of-Pearl side dots. Nickel Gotoh 510 X tuners, a pinless Ebony Delta bridge, and a gorgeous Koa rosette  to match the inlays compliment each other uniquely and beautifully for a guitar that is certain to turn heads. Trust us. You won't find anything else like it. 

Each of these guitars is accompanied by a hand-signed certificate of authenticity and a hard shell case.
