Sound-optimized acoustic-electric made from myrtlewood.
This Breedlove Oregon concert acoustic-electric is made from solid myrtlewood With its hypnotic, variegated color patterns and unique sonic clarity, melding the best aspects of rosewood, mahogany and maple, myrtlewood would qualify as one of the great exotic tonewoods. But it’s native, and grows—gnarled, strong and beautiful—on Oregon’s rainy, windswept Pacific coast, just 90 miles from Bend. Denser than Sitka spruce, myrtlewood can be planed and sanded even thinner, releasing more energy for a balanced profile alive with bass, midrange and treble in equal measure.
