Overview
The Pursuit Dreadnought captures Breedlove's distinctively crafted sound in an affordable package. With a solid Sitka spruce top, this full-depth dreadnought's back and sides are constructed of sapele, a tonewood with attributes similar to mahogany, making it a versatile instrument that will project sound well. And it looks great too! Delivering a warm, musical tone when played both acoustically and plugged in, you'll want to get your arms around it and immediately begin creating music from the first strum. Includes built-in USB port for easy interfacing with GarageBand and other recording software.

Body Shape
The Breedlove Dreadnought is slightly more rounded than traditional dreadnoughts, producing beautifully full, punchy, and articulate tones. The Dreadnought appeals to players inspired by the familiarity of a dreadnought, who are looking for nuance and richness from their instrument. The Breedlove Dreadnought projects well, so it excels in an ensemble, and yet retains the refinement needed for vocal accompaniment.Back and Side Wood
Sapele is similar both visually and tonally to dense mahogany, but both darker and harder, giving it a strong visual presence and a bit more upper-harmonic content and low-end clarity. It's a good choice for many sizes and shapes, and works well for strumming and fingerstyle.Electronics

"My first acoustic-electric"
Verified Customer

This is my first acoustic-electric guitar. I have been learning how to play on a Strat for a coulple of years and decided to buy an acoustic-electric. I'm quite addicted to my Breedlove. It's way more beautiful than the pictures show, and it makes me sound way better than I am. I'm very happy with my purchase. No problems whatsoever. I didn't have to do anything in the way of set up. The sound is truly amazing.
