Breedlove Oregon Concert CE Myrtlewood Special Edition Guitar
The Breedlove Oregon Concert CE Myrtlewood Special Edition is a rare, USA-made acoustic-electric limited to just 40 pieces worldwide. Crafted entirely from myrtlewood, this concert-body guitar delivers a balanced tonal spectrum with deep bass, warm mids, and shimmering trebles—ideal for capturing articulate recordings across a range of production styles. Each instrument is visually unique, featuring dramatic, high-contrast grain patterns that make it truly one of a kind.
Tone & Recording Character
All-myrtlewood construction—top, back, and sides—creates a versatile sonic character hand-voiced using Breedlove's Sound Optimization® process by master luthiers in Bend, Oregon. The Eastern hard rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard and delta bridge contribute to resonance and sustain, while the concert body shape balances comfort with dynamic articulation for both strumming and fingerstyle playing, translating clearly to microphone and pickup alike.
Electronics & Studio Integration
The LR Baggs Anthem TRU-MIC pickup system captures natural acoustic tone with minimal coloration when amplified or recorded direct, making this guitar seamlessly integrable into digital and live session workflows. A 1.75-inch bone nut, 20 frets at 25.5-inch scale length, and Gotoh 381 gold tuning machines ensure precise intonation stability across tracking and overdub sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this myrtlewood guitar different from spruce or mahogany concert acoustics?
Myrtlewood is a tonally versatile tonewood that produces deep bass and warm mids with shimmering trebles, offering a different sonic profile than traditional spruce-topped guitars. The all-myrtlewood construction (top, back, and sides) combined with Breedlove's Sound Optimization hand-voicing process by master luthiers creates a balanced, articulate character suited to both strumming and fingerstyle without the brittleness of some spruce designs.
Is this guitar suitable for live performance and amplified use?
Yes—the LR Baggs Anthem TRU-MIC pickup system captures natural acoustic tone when amplified, and the concert body design balances dynamic articulation with stage projection. The Gotoh 381 tuning machines and 1.75-inch bone nut ensure precise intonation stability under stage conditions, making it road-ready for gigging musicians.
What is the scale length and neck profile, and how does it compare to larger dreadnoughts?
This guitar features a 25.5-inch scale length with a slim C-profile Eastern hard rock maple neck, making it comfortable for extended fingerstyle sessions while delivering clear sustain and intonation. The concert body (19.875 inches long) is notably smaller and more ergonomic than a dreadnought, sacrificing volume for playability and precision—ideal for studio work and performers who prioritize comfort.
What does 'limited to 40 guitars worldwide' mean, and why should that matter?
Breedlove produced only 40 of this Special Edition model, making it a rare, collectible instrument with unique visual character (each myrtlewood grain pattern is one-of-a-kind). This scarcity preserves both resale value and the instrument's exclusivity for players and collectors seeking a professional-grade guitar with distinctive heritage.
What is included with this guitar, and what are the body dimensions?
The guitar ships with a deluxe hardshell case and features a concert body with a 15.37-inch lower bout, 11.28-inch upper bout, and 9-inch waist, designed for balanced comfort and dynamic articulation. The all-myrtlewood construction with gloss top finish and semi-gloss back/side finish showcases each instrument's dramatic, high-contrast grain as a visual centerpiece.
