Breedlove Roots Dreadnought SMe Edgeburst with Hardshell Case
The Breedlove Roots Dreadnought SMe: A Powerful Workhorse with Warm Articulate Voice
Sitka Spruce and Mahogany Tonewood Combination
The time honored pairing of solid Sitka spruce and Honduran mahogany, delivers a tonal profile that is both powerful and balanced. The Sitka spruce top provides clarity and dynamic headroom, while the mahogany back and sides introduce warmth and focused midrange response. This combination yields a voice that projects like a cannon while retaining a pleasing roundness that suits both strumming and fingerstyle playing.
Dreadnought Body for Full Projection
The dreadnought body shape offers commanding low end presence and strong projection, making it an ideal choice for players who need to fill a room or cut through a mix. Whether driving rhythm in an ensemble or performing solo, this guitar responds with a full, rich sound that remains articulate across the tonal spectrum.
Slim V Neck for Effortless Playability
The Honduran mahogany neck features a Slim V profile that feels fast and comfortable in the hand. It strikes a refined balance between vintage influence and modern playability, allowing for smooth transitions up and down the fretboard. Paired with an African ebony fretboard, the playing surface is responsive and precise, encouraging confident fretting and expressive performance.
LR Baggs HiFi Pickup System
Equipped with the LR Baggs HiFi pickup, this guitar translates its natural acoustic character with impressive fidelity when amplified. The system captures the warmth and nuance of the tonewoods while maintaining clarity and presence, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.
Refined Aesthetics and Premium Craftsmanship
The Edgeburst satin finish enhances the visual depth of the Sitka spruce top while maintaining a natural, organic feel. Subtle appointments like black binding and centered dot inlays keep the look clean and classic. Crafted in Bend, Oregon, this instrument reflects a commitment to quality materials and thoughtful design.
