The Breedlove Limited-edition Legacy Companion CE is a luxurious take on the company’s smallest guitar. From the moment you open the case, you’ll enjoy a stunningly figured koa body. Your enjoyment will double when you play your first notes on the mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. The guitar’s voice is bright and lively and packs plenty of power, despite the instrument’s size. Of course, you can play this guitar onstage, too, thanks to the soundhole-mounted LR Baggs Anthem Tru-Mic system. It reproduces your tone in perfect fidelity every time. There are other visual elements to like about the guitar, too! There’s a winged ebony bridge and an old-school B headstock logo referencing the origins of the brand. You also get luxurious ebony tuning buttons and gorgeous binding around the entire guitar. A guitar this good won’t be around for long. Order your Breedlove Limited-edition Legacy Companion today before it’s gone forever.
The king of tonewoods
Some tonewood purists, including several AJ’s Music & The Music Man acoustic guitar players, believe that koa is the undisputed heavyweight king of the tonewoods. This increasingly rare and coveted tonewood grows only at altitude on the Hawaiian Islands and nowhere else on the planet. The Limited-edition Legacy Companion uses intensely figured koa for its top, back, and sides. When you first get your guitar, you’ll enjoy a bright and lively sound that responds to your slightest touch. As the wood breaks in and matures, the trebles mellow out ever so slightly. Meanwhile, a textured midrange blooms forth and takes your breath away.
Elegant artisan touches
Everywhere you look on the Limited-edition Legacy Companion CE, you’ll find elements customized by Breedlove’s luthiers. First and foremost is the striking winged ebony bridge, which harkens back to Breedlove’s earlier era as a one-off bench builder. An old-school B logo further reinforces the vintage appeal. You’ll also appreciate how the luxurious ebony tuning buttons feel while tuning up. The guitar also comes with graceful fingerboard inlays and striking binding around the entire guitar.
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.
