In this demo, Nashville-based songwriter Matt Szlachetka plays the Breedlove RTD-SMEDe at Breedlove’s Nashville headquarters—exploring the feel, power, and balance of a dreadnought built for the 2026 Roots Series lineup.
The RTD-SMEDe pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides, delivering a clear, articulate voice with focused lows, strong mids, and a responsive top end. The dreadnought body adds projection and headroom, while mahogany tonal versatility keeps the sound balanced and musical across playing styles.
