A Masterfully Constructed Guitar
Breedlove’s Legacy Companion CE offers all-solid, ethically sourced tonewoods, artisanal attention to detail, and supple playability. Starting with the tonewoods, the Legacy Companion CE features a cedar top paired with walnut back and sides. Though unusual, this combination of tonewoods delivers an immaculate tone. When strummed, the guitar delivers a deep bass response and a relaxed, woody midrange that’s a pleasure to hear. You’ll also like the mahogany neck’s Slim “C” profile, which encourages you to explore every inch of the ebony fingerboard. Plug into the Legacy Companion CE onstage, and the built-in LR Baggs electronics cleanly transmit your guitar’s tone in all its glory. Take the plunge and experience the exceptional instrument that is the Breedlove Legacy Companion CE.
A unique tonewood pairing
The guitar designers and luthiers at Breedlove are never afraid to try out new and adventurous tonewood recipes. This Legacy Companion CE is the result of one of their sonic experiments. The back and sides are constructed from walnut, which supplies robust tones with deep bass and a woody midrange. For the top, you get a Port Oxford cedar top with hand-voiced bracing. As a top wood, cedar offers a warmer sound than spruce with sweetened trebles. At AJ’s Music & The Music Man, we find that combining cedar and walnut produces a delightfully resonant tone that tickles the ear.
Forward-thinking Sound Optimization Process
Every Made in Bend Breedlove guitar benefits from the company’s proprietary Sound Optimization process. Sound Optimization is a data-driven process that accounts for the inherent variability in natural tonewoods and ensures every guitar performs to its full potential. So how does it work? First, Breedlove sands each tonewood to a desired weight (most guitar companies sand to a uniform thickness). Once the braces are glued in, the company’s luthiers use soft mallets, microphones, and specialized software to analyze the top and back frequency response. They then voice the braces by hand and constantly re-measure the frequency response to ensure the top and back resonate to pre-determined target frequencies.
Breedlove’s groundbreaking combination of data-backed technology with the art of lutherie ensures that their instruments sound unlike any other. The guitar comes alive the second you pluck your first note. Each Sound Optimized guitar offers a huge dynamic range with striking note separation and clarity. Plus, the sustain is out of this world. Breedlove believes in their Sound Optimization technology so much that no instrument leaves their Oregon workshop until it performs to its full potential — even if that means carving on the bracing through the soundhole. With a Sound Optimized Breedlove guitar, you’ll experience a level of performance and sonic consistency that you can’t find anywhere else. Not sold yet? You will be once you play one.
Sustainably sourced, traceable tonewoods
If you talk to anyone at Breedlove, they’ll probably say they love the outdoors. And as a global guitar brand, they’ve taken huge strides to reduce their environmental impact and protect the natural world they cherish with the Tonewood Certification Program. Breedlove works closely with local authorities and mill workers to harvest and document each tonewood they use. The Tonewood Certification Program’s documentation is so thorough that they can tell you exactly where the wood on your guitar grew and how it ended up at Breedlove.
Breedlove: guitars you can feel good about
From the company’s beginning in 1990, Breedlove has focused a lot of their efforts on reducing their impact on the planet without compromising the quality of their instruments. Their radical approach to sustainability led them to create their Tonewood Certification Program and commit to visit each location where their timber is harvested to ensure that their sustainability standards are met. The company has introduced player-centered innovations, including custom voicings and unique neck profiles. From the Discovery to the Legacy, each and every Breedlove is made with an uncompromising dedication to quality sound, flawless workmanship, and environmental sustainability. Buying a Breedlove is much more than purchasing a top-notch acoustic guitar — it’s buying a guitar that you can feel good about.
