THE ALL NEW ATLAS SERIES Stage - Studio - Solo - Retro - Passport 2008 marks two milestones for the Breedlove Guitar Company. It is Kim Breedlove’s 35th Anniversary as a luthier and it is the 5th Anniversary of the Atlas Series of Acoustics. Before the Atlas Series, Breedlove was a custom shop guitar manufacturer only. In 2003 the Atlas line was launched with the intention of incorporating high-end custom features into a production line. The Atlas line is made overseas and goes through the setup and quality control process at the Breedlove Custom location in Bend, Oregon. The all new Breedlove Atlas Series comes in four categories: Stage, Studio, Solo and Retro lines. Each category has a specific sound and application. The newly voiced instruments feature the all new LR Bagg’s Stage Pro Element pickup with chromatic tuner. We worked with Lloyd Baggs for over 5 years developing this pickup to be the best performing on-board pickup of its kind. Stylish L.R. Baggs Stage Pro controls include volume, EQ, notch, phase and fast battery access highly sought after by today’s touring musicians. Lloyd Baggs explains, “The sound and combined performance features were previously unattainable, until now.” Each new Atlas Series name (Stage, Studio, Solo, and Retro) implies the purpose of each design. The Stage, Studio and Solo models are all braced for balance and reinforced with the bridge truss to maximize sustain and dynamics. The Retro models offer balance and power.

Breedlove Atlas Series instruments are designed and engineered by Kim Breedlove and are quality assured at our Custom Shop in Bend, Oregon.

The Atlas Series includes six-string Concerts, Dreadnoughts and Jumbos, twelve-string Concerts and Jumbos and four and five-string acoustic basses. We also offer a nylon-string Atlas acoustic guitar in a concert size.

ATLAS SIDE 'MONITOR' SOUND HOLE


With a satin finish the Solo Series offers an even more simplified aesthetic and a high degree of value. What’s most innovative is the fully voiced “monitor” side sound hole on each Solo model. The monitor sound-hole on the Solo series is just below the pre-amp. This feature gives the player the opportunity to hear the pure tones and ambient sounds usually heard by standing in front of the instrument being played. This sound hole projects a balanced sound directly to the player. Breedlove reports some players are already creating percussive effects with the body resonance. The body pitch can be changed by a fifth by covering both sound holes in a percussive style. President, Peter Newport says, “We have been experimenting with voicing side sound holes for years and we feel the time is right for our clients to enjoy the unique performance of this feature.” He continues, “Solo guitars are especially great for playing and songwriting in noisy environments such as tour buses, jam sessions, bars and coffee shops.” We believe that the “monitor” sound hole allows for a better connection to the subtleties of each instrument.
