Breedlove Oregon Dreadnought Concerto CE Myrtlewood Special Edition Gu

Breedlove Oregon Dreadnought Concerto CE Myrtlewood Special Edition Guitar

This all-myrtlewood Concerto delivers commanding projection with an ergonomic, slightly smaller footprint than traditional dreadnoughts—the soft cutaway and balanced body depth (4" to 5") make it comfortable for extended tracking and overdub sessions while the 16" lower bout generates serious volume and warmth ideal for capturing full-bodied acoustic tones. Built entirely from Oregon myrtlewood, each instrument is visually one-of-a-kind, with dramatic grain patterns and high-contrast markings that ensure distinctive character in recordings. Handcrafted in Bend, Oregon, it combines tonal richness across bass, mids, and trebles with LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic electronics for direct recording and amplified clarity without phase issues.

Tone & Recording Character

The all-solid myrtlewood construction—top, back, and sides—produces bold projection and shimmering highs balanced by a powerful low end, while Sitka spruce bracing and Honduran mahogany side bracing optimize sustain and resonance for clean, articulate recordings. The LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic system delivers natural, studio-quality amplified tone without sacrificing acoustic character, making this guitar equally effective captured via microphone, direct line, or blended hybrid mic-and-pickup techniques in the mix.

Playability & Build

Eastern hard rock maple neck and African ebony fretboard with offset dot inlays provide stability and smooth playability across the 20 frets and 25.5" scale length. Premium hardware includes gold Gotoh 381 tuners, African ebony bridge, tortoise binding, and mosaic mountain inlays—all hallmarks of Breedlove's custom shop craftsmanship, backed by a deluxe custom-fit hardshell case.
