Overview

A compact acoustic guitar with warm cedar tones and clarity.

The Breedlove Discovery Companion red cedar-mahogany acoustic guitar combines travel-ready design with rich, full-range tone. Featuring a solid red cedar top and African mahogany back and sides, this compact model delivers warmth and clarity ideal for intimate performances and casual jam sessions. Its Companion body shape offers exceptional projection and resonance, rivaling larger guitars while remaining highly portable. The natural finish highlights the striking cedar grain, complemented by Breedlove's EcoTonewood technology for sustainable, environmentally conscious craftsmanship. With its slim neck and responsive tonewoods, this model ensures smooth playability and vibrant sound in a compact package.

Breedlove Solid Red Cedar Top Enhances Warmth and Responsiveness

The solid red cedar top of this acoustic guitar is carefully selected for its tonal warmth and dynamic response. Known for its quick attack, cedar is particularly responsive to fingerstyle playing, delivering a rich, resonant sound with subtle overtones. Its natural ability to produce a full-bodied tone makes it equally well-suited for relaxed strumming, providing a balanced voice with rounded lows and sparkling highs. This top material ensures the instrument remains highly expressive, capturing every nuance of your performance with clarity and depth.

African Mahogany Back and Sides for Balanced Projection

Pairing the cedar top with African mahogany back and sides creates an ideal tonal balance. Mahogany is known for its midrange clarity and cutting power, complementing the warmth of the cedar top. Together, these tonewoods produce a focused yet rich sound, offering a wide tonal spectrum that projects well despite the guitar's compact size. This combination ensures the instrument delivers a well-rounded voice, perfect for both solo performance and ensemble settings, without sacrificing detail or resonance.

Cascade Bracing Optimizes Resonance and Sustain

The Cascade bracing system inside this guitar is specifically designed to enhance its tonal qualities. Hand-finished and precision-engineered, the bracing supports the cedar top, allowing it to vibrate freely while maintaining structural integrity. This design boosts sustain and projection, ensuring that each note rings out clearly and evenly. The bracing also contributes to the guitar's overall responsiveness, making it easy to coax nuanced dynamics from the instrument, whether you're fingerpicking intricate melodies or delivering rhythmic strums.

Eco-Conscious Construction for Sustainable Craftsmanship

This model is part of Breedlove's ECO Collection, which incorporates environmentally responsible materials without compromising on sound quality. The use of sustainable EcoTonewood technology ensures that the guitar is crafted with minimal environmental impact. Features like the ovangkol fingerboard and bridge not only provide a smooth playing surface but also align with Breedlove's commitment to earth-conscious practices. This thoughtful construction makes the guitar an excellent choice for players who value both performance and sustainability.

Compact Design for Effortless Portability

With its Companion body shape and lightweight construction, this guitar is perfect for musicians who are always on the move. The slim neck and soft C profile provide a comfortable grip, making it easy to play for extended periods. Whether you're performing at a coffeehouse, jamming by the campfire, or practicing at home, this model offers the portability and playability you need. Its compact size ensures it fits comfortably in travel cases, making it an excellent companion for your musical journeys.
