The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   For musicians seeking amazing power with a clear and sweet tone, both acoustically and plugged in, the Pursuit Exotic Concert Koa - Koa is a true reflection of Breedlove’s Distinctively Crafted Sound. Its solid Koa top and Koa back and sides “open up” the more the guitar is played, expanding the midrange, for an even richer, sweeter tone over time. The stunning beauty of the figured Koa make the Pursuit Exotic Concert Koa - Koa a work of art as well as an extraordinary musical instrument. The Breedlove Concert is the original Breedlove shape. It first appeared in 1992, and has been the best-selling Breedlove body shape ever since. Designed specifically for the fingerstylist to be well balanced, compact, and comfortable to play, it generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The unique construction also allows the Concert to sing even at a full strum. If you’re a fingerstylist, or are seeking an instrument to use as vocal accompaniment, this is the shape for you. The Concert is engineered to provide exceptional sustain with a pronounced bass response, both of which can be achieved with a light touch. The graduated top works in harmony with the Breedlove Bridge Truss to provide an even response throughout the lows, mids, and highs, with sustain, and clear, concise, note-for-note projection. The Breedlove Pinless Bridge on this Pursuit Exotic Concert CE helps maintain the integrity of the top by eliminating the need for six drilled string holes. The fewer holes in your soundboard, the more evenly the sound wave can move across the interior, without any loss of energy. The Breedlove Pinless Bridge also provides a gentler string-break angle from the bridge to the top of the saddle, reducing saddle strain.  Koa is one of the most visually stunning woods available, with golden hues and often with dramatic figure. Koa is characterized by a tone that is both clear and sweet. The voice grows over time, from sweet to sweeter. Clear and sweet. The wood “opens up” the more the instrument is played, expanding the midrange, for an even richer, sweeter tone over time. Due to its popularity, it is harder and harder to find top-quality Koa. Limited supply has driven up prices in recent years, making Koa expensive, and therefore rarely found in production guitars. Has the stiffness and clarity of RW, but with the warm, light tones of Mah. Similar in weight and strength to black Walnut. Colors range from brown to gold, with rich and varying grain, tending toward curl or flame figure in old-growth trees. Koa is a fast-growing tropical hardwood, native to the Hawaiian Islands. The Mah neck on this Pursuit Exotic Concert CE features a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish also contributes to ideal playability. The labor-intensive finish process includes precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing. The 20 fret East Indian RW fretboard has centered dot inlays. Additional appointments include gold closed gear tuners, East Indian RW bridge, black binding, and a natural gloss finish. Equipped with Fishman’s Isys Onboard Preamp System. The Fishman Isys+ USB features volume, tone shaping, and phase controls, and low battery indicator.
