The Companion — Now Made in the USA
AJ’s Music & The Music Man proudly introduces the Oregon Companion CE, a travel-sized guitar for the discerning player. With the introduction of this guitar in 2023, Breedlove’s take on the travel guitar is finally available from their USA workshop in Bend, Oregon. Now, players can get all the benefits of Breedlove’s Made in Bend models in a road-friendly package. You’ll enjoy all-solid, sustainably sourced tonewoods, proprietary Sound Optimization technology, hand-voiced bracing, and outstanding fretwork. This guitar comes with a myrtlewood top with myrtlewood back and sides and a maple neck. The Oregon Companion CE is great for gigging, thanks to its onboard LR Baggs EAS VTC electronics. If you’re looking for a high-end traveling companion, the Breedlove Oregon Companion CE is the obvious choice.
Magnificent all-myrtlewood body
Your new Oregon Companion CE features an all-myrtlewood body. Myrtlewood is a hardwood that only grows in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a tonewood known for its widely-varied grain patterns and stunning figure. Tonally, myrtlewood delivers a magical midrange with deep lows and a subtle treble response. When you pair myrtlewood with the maple neck, that midrange only gets more pronounced. Be prepared, though. Once you play it, the Oregon Companion CE’s thrilling tone will have you hooked.
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 efforts on reducing its impact on the planet without compromising instrument quality. Breedlove’s radical approach to sustainability led to the creation of its Tonewood Certification Program and a commitment to visit each location where its timber is harvested to ensure compliance with sustainability standards. The company has introduced player-centered innovations, including top-loading bridges, 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 you can feel good about.
