Premium Breedlove acoustic-electric with Brazilian rosewood and red cedar tonewoods and LR Baggs Element electronics.

The Breedlove Premier Companion Red Cedar-Brazilian Limited-Edition acoustic-electric guitar is designed to be your true companion—whether resting conveniently in your home music room, easily carried to a neighborhood gathering, or traveling with you on that much-awaited beach holiday. Believing that musicians should not have to sacrifice sound or playability for convenience, Breedlove has spent years perfecting their Sound Optimization and Hand Voicing process to achieve the ideal body shape and tonewood dimensions to craft USA Breedlove Companion guitars that sound like full-size instruments in both projection and tonal complexity. This special instrument is limited to only 25 pieces worldwide. Once you play a USA Breedlove Companion, you’ll find yourself automatically having it by your side wherever you are. It may just become your go-to guitar.

Breedlove’s Sound Optimization

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 Breedlove calls 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 tonewood 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.

About the 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 reset, it’s 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.
