Our Story

Breedlove History

In 1990, pioneering luthiers Larry Breedlove and Steve Henderson, embarked on a transformative journey to redefine acoustic guitar craftsmanship. Breedlove Guitar Company quickly gained recognition for its innovative designs, meticulous attention to tonewood selection, and groundbreaking construction techniques. As the brand continued to soar in prominence within the music industry, in 2010, the company was acquired by Tom Bedell, a passionate musician, and visionary in the realm of guitar making. Bedell’s acquisition brought a new chapter to Breedlove’s storied legacy, infusing the brand with a commitment to sustainability and an unwavering dedication to preserving the art of instrument making while honoring its heritage of innovation. Under Bedell’s guidance, Breedlove Guitars continued to flourish, leveraging its expertise in combining exquisite sound with innovative design while furthering its mission to craft instruments that transcend convention. This partnership between Tom Bedell and Breedlove Guitars represents a harmonious fusion of heritage, innovation, and a profound reverence for the art of music, marking a pivotal moment in Breedlove’s history.
