Crafted With Rare, Resonant Tonewoods
At the core of the Companion LTD is an Adirondack spruce top, regarded as the premier spruce for acoustic guitars. Dense and finely grained, Adirondack imbues each note with complexity, projection and dynamic range. Back and sides are constructed from stunning Brazilian rosewood, prized by luthiers for its rich, complex overtones and singing sustain. Together, these rare woods create a voice that is powerfully vibrant yet sweetly nuanced. Every aspect of the build, from bracing to finish thickness, is optimized to allow this elite pairing to resonate freely. The result is an acoustic guitar with exceptional volume, warmth and sustain.
LR Baggs Element Pickup Captures Natural Tone
The Breedlove Companion comes equipped with an LR Baggs Element pickup, allowing you to amplify its exquisite acoustic tone with complete accuracy. The under-saddle transducer captures every nuance, from the crisp, delicate highs to the rich, resonant lows. The soundhole-mounted preamp gives you easy control over volume and tone shaping right at your fingertips. Whether practicing at home or performing live, the Element pickup faithfully reproduces the Companion's natural acoustic voice through an amplifier or PA. Plug in and let this exceptional guitar shine.
Companion Body Offers Comfort and Full Sound in a Portable Size
Breedlove's ingenious Companion body shape reimagines the traditional concert guitar in a remarkably comfortable and portable form. Its compact dimensions make it perfect for smaller players or anyone seeking an exceptionally playable acoustic. The contoured body shape conforms naturally to your body, while the soft cutaway allows effortless access to higher frets. Despite its diminutive size, the Companion's thin, responsive build and hand-voiced bracing produce a deceptively full and balanced tone. Lightweight and easy to transport, it's ideal for practice, travel or stage. The Companion gives you huge acoustic sound in a remarkably comfortable and portable package.
Hand-Voiced Construction
To maximize the potential of its special build, Breedlove individually hand voices each Companion LTD. Master luthiers tap-tune the top, listening carefully to isolate and enhance the most desirable frequencies. This meticulous process allows them to voice the guitar for exceptional clarity, richness and balance. From the elite tonewoods to the custom-fit neck, every detail is optimized to remove barriers between you and the music. Expressive, inspiring and luxuriously resonant, the Premier Companion LTD is Breedlove craftsmanship at its finest.
