Sustainable & Clear-Cut Free
Breedlove uses no clear-cut woods in its Made in Bend models. It’s that’s simple. Featuring sustainably sourced all solid exotic and native tonewoods handcrafted by skilled luthiers who are as sensitive to the needs of the earth as they are to building the best sounding and playing guitars available anywhere.
Myrtlewood Top, Back & Sides
Popularized by Breedlove, myrtlewood, from the windblown Oregon coast, combines the best elements of rosewood, mahogany and maple—rich bass, warm midrange and clear, bright trebles—for truly versatile guitars. Each sonically distinct instrument is individualized by the gnarled, wildly varied, but always arresting grain patterns.
The Concerto Body Shape
Loud, textured and supremely satisfying, Breedlove’s proprietary Concerto delivers more volume and more nuance than the standard classic dreadnought. Our largest body shape retains trademark Breedlove playing comfort while summoning a lush, complex tonal response.
Sound Optimization® & Hand Voicing
Why do Breedlove guitars sound so good? It’s simple, Breedlove guitars are made with care, with the goal of allowing you to play better, sound better and play more. But it’s also complex, with art, inspiration, craft and science merging together in a process we call Sound Optimization®. These models are hand voiced, with experienced luthiers meticulously tapping, listening and shaving away tiny curls of exquisite tonewood as they target specific, measurable frequencies that will make each unique, individual instrument sound its very best. The tone wood species are carefully milled, weighed and considered, with backs and tops specifically tuned to each other to create light, responsive guitars with superior tone and sustain.
BREEDLOVE NECK
Breedlove guitar necks feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. Unlike traditional dovetail neck joints that require major surgery for a neck re-set, it is easy to adjust the play action and neck angle with the Breedlove bolt-on neck and single-action truss rod. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish contributes to ideal playability – the finish process alone takes three days, including precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Breedlove players around the world can attest: With consistent, proper care, your Breedlove will give you a lifetime of service – and inspiration. New Breedlove instruments, purchased through an authorized Breedlove dealer, are warrantied to be free of defects in materials and workmanship throughout the lifetime of the original owner. In addition to materials and workmanship, Breedlove offers a two-year warranty on tuning machines and electronics packages. Cases and bags are subject to a one-year warranty covering defects in structure and hardware.

Reviews, Testimonials & Awards
I’ve purchased seven guitars in my life, and this is the first time I ever received a Thank You card in the mail from the guitar maker! Pretty smart business, I’d say!
What a beautiful guitar. That’s a very important reason I bought it. I especially like the no cutaway, as I simply don’t play high up on the neck like some pros do. After emailing you prior to my buying this model, and your replying that only a very few of your models were available as acoustic-only, I decided I could live with the pickups, etc. Sounds awfully great right now!
Initially upon receiving the guitar, I felt the action was too high/hard for my taste/fingertips, which certainly is a common enough issue on all guitars. However, I just now, today, re-strung with D’Addario EXP 16’s in lieu of the EXP 17’s… and, wonder of wonders, the action is so much nicer! I’m 67, not a pro or working musician, and maybe the Medium strings just were too different for my old fingertips. In any case, I could always have a setup done, but after changing to the light strings, don’t believe I’ll need to. Yay!
Anyway, I am very glad I purchased this Oregon Concerto. Very beautiful. The Myrtlewood is not only aesthetically pleasing, it’s also sonically an excellent tone wood. Who knew?
I guess you guys did! Peace out, and have a great weekend. Customer service and the personal touch is very much lacking in most modern businesses. Good on ya’!
