Experience the Magic of Myrtlewood

Set yourself up for sonic success with a Breedlove Oregon Concert CE. This version of the Oregon Concert is built from a solid Sitka spruce top and solid myrtlewood back and sides. By virtue of its spruce top, the guitar delivers a punchier attack with transparent sustain. The body woods and bracing benefit from Breedlove’s proprietary Sound Optimization process, which ensures each component vibrates to its full potential. A maple neck and ebony fingerboard complete the design. The neck is carved into an easy-playing “C” profile, which has gained acclaim among AJ’s Music & The Music Man acoustic guitar fanatics. Finally, you get onboard LR Baggs electronics to play plugged-in onstage. There’s so much to like about the Breedlove Oregon Concert CE — read on to discover why we’re so excited about it.

High-performance tonewoods

For this version of the Oregon Concert CE, Breedlove broke the mold. They chose a solid Sitka spruce top to go over the solid myrtlewood back and sides. Sitka spruce is a popular choice for soundboards thanks to its even tonality and punchy response when pushed hard. On the other hand, myrtlewood is as sonically flexible as a tonewood can be. It offers a blend of the best characteristics found in mahogany, rosewood, and maple. Whether you’re playing fingerstyle, strumming with a pick, or anywhere in between, this Oregon Concert CE delivers an ear-pleasing sound fit for almost any genre.

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 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 that you can feel good about.
