Oregon Concert E Myrtlewood-Myrtlewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The individual character of each set of Oregon-grown myrtlewood used in the making of these all-myrtlewood Breedlove's Oregon Concert E acoustic-electrics offers exceptional visual appeal, as well as sonic power and clarity. Denser than Sitka spruce, Breedlove sands the tops thinner on the Oregon Concert E to achieve a voice that is lively and crisp, with powerful projection and detailed note articulation. Its onboard L.R. Baggs EAS VTC electronics gives you the versatility of plugging in for a solid live performance or crystal-clear recording.

The Oregon Concert E Myrtlewood-Myrtlewood comes with a deluxe hardshell case.

Body Shape
The Breedlove Concert is the original Breedlove shape. It first appeared in 1992, and has been the best-selling Breedlove body shape ever since. Designed specifically for the fingerstylist to be well-balanced, compact and comfortable to play, it generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The unique construction also allows the Concert to sing even at a full strum. If you’re a fingerstylist, or are seeking an instrument to use as vocal accompaniment, this is the shape for you. The Concert is engineered to provide exceptional sustain with a pronounced bass response, both of which can be achieved with a light touch.

Tonewoods
Myrtlewood, umbellularia californica, formerly oreodaphne californica, originates in the western United States in Northern California and Oregon. Myrtlewood offers a strong fundamental with a powerful voice. Similar to maple, it has a clear and bright voice with superb projection and sustain, and offers a full and balanced sound. A versatile non-traditional tonewood, it is a favorite for many styles of playing. Myrtle has very unique and widely varied figure – no two sets are alike. Coloration ranges from blonde to taupe.

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 re-set, it is 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.

Asymmetrical Headstock
This headstock isn’t just a pretty shape – it’s specifically designed to keep the strings in a straight, even line from the nut to the tuning pegs. The result is even tension, stable tuning and ease of alternate tuning.
