USA-Made Oregon Sitka - Myrtlewood

Marrying Sitka spruce with myrtlewood; surpassing the sound, tonal balance and richness of traditional tonewoods.

While Oregon myrtlewood may be denser than Sitka spruce, it pairs with it to create guitars that fly past all others, surpassing the sound, tonal balance and richness of more traditional tonewood combinations. Our Sitka, from ancient stock, straight and true, is sustainably sourced. We never harvest these magnificent trees, but work with Alaska Specialty Woods to salvage blown down trunks, often nearly 600 years old, from the forest floor, contributing to the health of the biosphere while putting a supreme instrument in your hands. Individually crafted in Bend, with all native tonewoods and the remarkable benefits of Sound Optimization®, each Oregon myrtle/spruce model, in Whiskey Burst or Natural finish, is performance ready, with LR Baggs EAS VTC electronics and a deluxe Breedlove hardshell case.
