Cascade bracing and slim neck shape define this eco-friendly 12-string.
The Breedlove Discovery S CE acoustic-electric guitar lets you craft lush 12-string tones with its solid European spruce top and African mahogany back and sides. Built for comfort and playability, the Discovery S CE's oval C neck profile and cutaway provide full access to its ovangkol fingerboard. Onboard Fishman Presys I electronics give you plug-and-play convenience for gigging or recording. As an instrument in Breedlove's eco-friendly Discovery Series, the Discovery S CE is crafted using sustainable tonewoods and environmentally-friendly production methods. Serious musicians will appreciate its impressive sustain, balance and projection.
Sustain for Days Thanks to Cascade Bracing
Breedlove's Cascade bracing optimizes the Discovery S CE's tonewoods to produce impressive sustain and resonance. By scalloping and tapering the braces, Breedlove's luthiers have crafted a lightweight yet sturdy bracing system. This innovative bracing, inspired by the Cascade Mountains, provides Custom Shop-level sound quality and projection. When you strum a chord, notes ring out with shimmering clarity and sustain.
Crafted for Playability and Comfort
With a slim satin-finish neck and cutaway, the Discovery S CE is built for playability. Its ovangkol fingerboard has a 9.5" radius and narrow nut width, ideal for barre chords and lead playing. The cutaway gives you full access to higher frets. An asymmetrical headstock also provides precise string tension for tuning stability. Overall, the Discovery S CE's design minimizes hand fatigue so you can play for hours.
Plug in and Play with Onboard Electronics
The Discovery S CE's Fishman Presys I pickup system gives you a natural acoustic tone when plugged in. With an undersaddle piezo pickup and preamp with EQ, you have control over your amplified sound. Adjust the bass, mid and treble to suit the venue or mix. An onboard tuner also provides convenient tuning at the touch of a button. The Presys I system is easy to use, allowing you to plug in and focus on your performance.
