An exquisitely crafted acoustic-electric with resonant tonewoods and amplified capabilities.
The Breedlove Oregon Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides musicians with the best of both worlds - a fantastic unplugged tone from quality solid wood construction paired with the LR Baggs Element pickup system for plugging in. This concert-sized guitar is handcrafted in the USA from solid Sitka spruce on the top and stunning myrtlewood back and sides, both sustainably sourced from Oregon. The combination produces a balanced, organic tone with great projection and sustain. Breedlove's hand-voiced bracing optimizes the guitar's resonance by targeting specific frequencies. The slim neck profile appeals to players of all levels while the cutaway body allows easy access to upper frets. Take your playing to new heights with the Breedlove Oregon.
Sustainably Harvested Tonewoods With Resonant Properties
The Breedlove Oregon concert guitar achieves its bold yet balanced tone from the pairing of solid Sitka spruce on top with solid myrtlewood back and sides. These tonewoods are carefully selected and harvested in an environmentally sustainable way. The lightweight spruce offers crystalline highs and articulate string separation. Myrtlewood contributes gorgeous midrange and warm, rich bass frequencies. Together these woods create an organic, resonant sound with singing overtones. The hand-voiced bracing furthers the guitar's potential by optimizing vibration and projection.
Plug in Anywhere With LR Baggs Element Pickup System
While the Breedlove Oregon sounds fantastic unplugged, its LR Baggs Element pickup system lets you plug into an amp or PA system for amplified performances. The Element system captures your guitar's natural tone with a seamless blend between the undersaddle piezo pickup and an internal microphone. The soundhole-mounted preamp provides volume and tone controls that are easy to adjust. Just plug in via the endpin jack and you'll be able to project your sound in larger venues. The flexibility makes the Oregon an ideal gigging and recording guitar.
Comfortable Playability From Slim Neck Profile
The Breedlove Oregon concert guitar features a comfortable slim soft C neck profile that makes playing a breeze. It enables great feel and faster fingering for scales, chords and leads up the maple neck. The slimmer nut width is ideal for players with smaller hands while still being comfortable for most. The cutaway body style provides unfettered access to the 20 frets, allowing you to easily hit upper register notes. Chord changes are smooth and natural anywhere on the ebony fingerboard.
Handcrafted in the USA with Eco-Friendly Build
Breedlove handcrafts each Oregon concert guitar in their Oregon-based shop with careful attention to detail and environmentally sustainable practices. They use less glue and very thin finishes to allow the solid woods to really sing and vibrate. From the renewable tonewoods down to the recycled gig bag, this guitar is built with an eye toward ecological stewardship.
