Wildwood Concert Blackbird CE African Mahogany cutaway acoustic electric guitar

This is a really stunning instrument, the stained grain shows through the clear coat, it is very impressive in person.  This finish is nearly impossible to photograph, the grain doesn't show that well and everything reflects, so it has a lot of glare throughout.  The finish looks really shiny, however there are some cracks on the rear, lower bout, at the binding.  It also has a couple of finish cracks that can be felt to the touch, because they rise out a bit.  It has a straight neck, low action, all notes play normally.  It has a nice pickup system that works well.  It is a refurbished guitar and is stamped "used" on the back of the headstock to prevent false warranty claims.

Mahogany body serves up warm tones

The Breedlove Organic Wildwood Concert's body is made with sustainably sourced African mahogany. It creates a pleasant tone with just the right amount of midrange and heaps of warmth. All-mahogany guitars have been favored by folk and Americana players for decades. And in recent years, the same instruments have enjoyed a revival among singer/songwriters. Why? Because the harmonic depth of mahogany complements voices of all kinds. Aside from singer/songwriters, all-mahogany guitars are invaluable in the studio for chordal passages and strumming parts.

Responsibly sourced, all-solid tonewoods set a new standard

Almost every acoustic player dreams of owning an all-solid wood guitar. Now, with the Organic Collection from Breedlove, that dream can become a reality! The Organic Collection features all-solid tonewoods offered at a revolutionary price point. Each tree is individually harvested, and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, which means that absolutely no clear-cut tonewoods appear in the Organic Collection — so you don't have to feel guilty about owning an all-solid guitar. All-solid tonewoods aren't weighed down by glue and resin, which means you hear the wood's pure tone and nothing else. Plus, all-solid tonewoods resonate much more freely, leading to longer sustain and enhanced harmonic content. Boasting impressive tonewoods and incredible value, the Breedlove Organic Collection doesn't just set a standard in eco-conscious guitar design; it shatters the mold of the modern acoustic guitar and ushers in a new era of affordable, sustainable instruments.
