Breedlove Guitars Unveils the 30th Anniversary King Koa

Breedlove 30th Anniversary King Koa

A limited-ediiton koa model built to celebrate the company's 30th anniversary.

In January, Breedlove Guitars, based in Bend, Oregon, marked the 30th Anniversary of bringing its first instrument to market, announcing the issue of four very special, limited edition guitars—each celebrating a defining model; each updated with ongoing Breedlove innovations like sustainable, clear-cut free tonewoods, soft cutaways (except a non-cutaway Phoenix model), hand-voicing and Sound Optimization.


Following in the footsteps of the 30th Anniversary Northwest Classic — released in January— Breedlove now announces the release of the 30th Anniversary King Koa.

First introduced in 2002, the original King Koa featured a warm, understated western red cedar top complemented by beautiful solid Koa back and sides. A detailed and attention-grabbing mermaid and dolphin inlay — designed by Kim Breedlove — adorned the ebony fingerboard, serving as the guitar's show-stopping centerpiece.

Just shy of two full decades later, Breedlove is now a leader in cutting edge acoustic guitar technology and has updated this stunning guitar with modern accoutrements. This time around, the King Koa's soft cutaway body is completely outfitted in solid koa and its show-stopping, highly-figured top is the center of attention. One look at this guitar and you'll understand why it's called the King Koa.


From the maple neck's custom burst finish — which offers a warm visual complement to koa — to the abalone top purfling and bloodwood binding that spans its body, ebony fretboard, asymmetrical headstock, and its refined 'Hooks" inlay, every detail of the King Koa celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Breedlove's dedication to detail-oriented guitar making. This is the company's first all-Koa guitar to include Sound Optimization, making the King Koa a loud and lively instrument with a well-balanced tone that sounds better than ever.

With the E Street Band, he’s served as musical consigliere to Bruce Springsteen for most of his musical life. And although he stands next to the Boss onstage, guitar in hand, he’s remained mostly quiet about his work as a player—until now.

I’m stuck in Stevie Van Zandt’s elevator, and the New York City Fire Department has been summoned. It’s early March, and I am trapped on the top floor of a six-story office building in Greenwich Village. On the other side of this intransigent door is Van Zandt’s recording studio, his guitars, amps, and other instruments, his Wicked Cool Records offices, and his man cave. The latter is filled with so much day-glo baby boomer memorabilia that it’s like being dropped into a Milton Glaser-themed fantasy land—a bright, candy-colored chandelier swings into the room from the skylight.

The latest multi-effect from Wampler is a dreamy if sometimes difficult-to-master delay/reverb combo.

Great, instantly useable reverb and delay tones. Impressive breadth of sounds in one box. Solid construction. Good value.

Controls and operation can feel confusing.

ā€œModeling versus tubeā€ might be the gear world title fight of the 2020s, but ā€œLED menu versus none on multieffectsā€ is a pretty riveting undercard. I have sympathies in both corners. The ocean-deep onscreen interface of theMeris Mercury X, for instance, was a bear to navigate, but it also yielded some of the most exciting and tweakable reverb I’ve ever heard. At the same time, I’ll always be partial to having every control I need at my fingertips, and every parameter a knob twirl away from just-right.In theory, the digitalWampler Catacombs fits into the second category, the one I prefer. It’s a super-loaded reverb and delay combo pedal, with seven delay algorithms and five reverb options that sound great. Though in practice, Catacombs sometimes turned out to be a bit more complicated to navigate than I expected.

Across Frank Zappa’s monumental body of work, he injected rock-based music with compositional techniques straight out of the modern classical handbook, as well as groundbreaking studio trickery and a teenager’s wit. To match his untamable creativity, he famously demanded an unmatched level of musical dedication from his players, and his own guitar playing balanced that discipline with off-the-rails experimentation.
