An acoustic-electric guitar with lush Oregon myrtlewood tone.
The Breedlove Oregon Concerto acoustic-electric guitar combines the bold, complex sound of native myrtlewood with Breedlove's resonant Concerto body shape. Crafted in the USA, this guitar's all-myrtlewood construction produces a unique voice, blending rosewood's lows, maple's brightness and mahogany's balanced character. The proprietary hand-voiced bracing optimizes the guitar's natural resonance, allowing the myrtlewood to sing with accentuated depth and clarity. With Breedlove's Concerto shape, you get more volume, sustain and harmonic complexity than a standard dreadnought, along with a comfortable body that feels natural to play sitting or standing.
Unlock the Potential of Oregon Myrtlewood
The Breedlove Oregon Concerto is crafted entirely from locally-sourced Oregon myrtlewood, a tonewood Breedlove pioneered for musical instruments. As a top wood, myrtlewood is lively and articulate with a clear, projecting voice. The single cutaway Concerto body shape further allows the myrtlewood to resonate and breathe. Together with the hand-voiced bracing, you'll enjoy enhanced volume and nuance that brings out the best in the wood's organic complexity. The myrtlewood produces a bold, vintage-inspired tone with modern clarity and quick response.
Proprietary Concerto Body Designed for Comfort and Volume
Breedlove designed the Concerto body shape to surpass classic dreadnought volume while eliciting more tonal complexity. Its proprietary proportions are optimized for loud, textured and satisfying tone. The Concerto's airy interior provides freedom for the myrtlewood to vibrate freely. Reduced soundhole size increases air resistance for bold resonance. The ergonomic waist makes the Concerto comfortable to play sitting down or standing up. Approachable for all players, the Concerto retains trademark Breedlove comfort. Its deep cutaway grants easy upper fret access for versatile playing. The Concerto elicits impressive sustain and lush, complex tone.
LR Baggs Anthem TRU_MIC Pickup for Flexible Tone Shaping
The LR Baggs Anthem TRU_MIC pickup and preamp system lets you shape your amplified tone with ease. The volume, EQ and body blend controls are intuitive yet powerful. Scoop mid-range for an open, airy tone or cut the body sensor for a crisp, focused sound. Roll off the highs to tame the myrtlewood's punchy attack. With the Anthem system, the Concerto's natural resonance still shines through while you find your ideal amplified voice. Craft your sound for the room with the Concerto and Anthem.
