Breedlove Roots RTC-CMYTHe Myrtlewood Parlor Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Tumalo Honey Burst

With its compact parlor body and distinctive pairing of Pacific Northwest tonewoods, the Breedlove Roots RTC-CMYTHe offers a fresh expression of the brand's Oregon roots in an acoustic-electric built for exceptional comfort and musical versatility. A solid Western red cedar top provides warmth, articulation and immediate response, while solid Oregon myrtlewood back and sides add depth, complexity and punch for a beautifully balanced voice with impressive clarity and projection. A Slim C hard rock maple neck and African ebony fingerboard offer a sleek, easy-playing feel, and LR Baggs HiFi electronics capture the guitar's natural character with clarity when plugged in. Built in Bend, Oregon, and dressed in an elegant Tumalo Honey Burst finish, the RTC-CMYTHe is a refined, highly expressive parlor acoustic-electric equally suited to songwriting, performing and everyday playing.

Pacific Northwest Tonewoods for Warm, Balanced Tone

The RTC-CMYTHe brings together two distinctive Pacific Northwest tonewoods in a combination that complements the intimate character of its parlor body. Solid Western red cedar offers warmth, articulation and a responsive voice that comes alive with a light touch, while solid Oregon myrtlewood back and sides contribute depth, complexity and focused punch. Breedlove's proprietary Sound Optimization process individually tunes each top and back to bring out the tonal potential of the specific woods used in every instrument, helping the compact body deliver impressive projection and clarity across everything from delicate fingerstyle to confident strumming.

Slim C Maple Neck and 25" Scale for Effortless Playability

An Eastern hard rock maple neck with Breedlove's low-profile Slim C shape complements the RTC-CMYTHe's compact body with a sleek, comfortable feel. The slightly shorter 25" scale length provides a relaxed string feel, while the 1.75" nut width offers ample spacing for precise fretting and detailed fingerstyle work. A smooth African ebony fingerboard with 18 frets completes a player-friendly design that's equally inviting for extended songwriting sessions, accompaniment and more intricate playing.

LR Baggs HiFi Electronics for Natural Plugged-In Sound

Equipped with an LR Baggs HiFi pickup system, the RTC-CMYTHe is ready to bring its warm, balanced acoustic voice to amplified performances and recording setups. Designed to preserve the natural character of the instrument, the HiFi system provides a clear foundation that allows the nuances of the cedar and myrtlewood construction to come through when plugged in. Whether performing onstage or capturing ideas in the studio, it gives players a natural-sounding amplified voice that complements the guitar's distinctive acoustic character.

Tumalo Honey Burst with Refined Roots Series Appointments

An elegant Tumalo Honey Burst gloss finish gives the Western red cedar top a warm, distinctive appearance, while a matching semi-gloss stain highlights the natural character of the myrtlewood back and sides. A koa rosette, black binding and centered dot inlays provide understated visual detail, with an African ebony pinless bridge offering clean looks and convenient string changes. Nickel Breedlove tuners and an included deluxe hardshell case round out a thoughtful collection of appointments built for lasting performance.

A Fresh Take on the Parlor Acoustic

The Breedlove Roots RTC-CMYTHe takes the inherent comfort and intimacy of the parlor format in a distinctly Breedlove direction. Its Pacific Northwest tonewood pairing, individually optimized acoustic voice and easy-playing Slim C neck create a versatile instrument that feels equally natural in the hands of a songwriter, fingerstyle player or strummer, while LR Baggs HiFi electronics extend that character to amplified settings. Hand-built in Bend, Oregon, the RTC-CMYTHe brings together locally sourced materials, thoughtful design and modern versatility in a compact acoustic-electric with a personality all its own.
