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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Concerto body shape different from a standard dreadnought?
The Concerto has a slightly smaller, more ergonomic footprint at 20.695 inches long with a balanced body depth of 4 to 5 inches and a 16-inch lower bout, making it comfortable for extended play while still generating serious volume and warmth typical of larger dreadnoughts. The soft cutaway adds further playing comfort without sacrificing tonal projection.
How does the LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic electronics system perform on stage?
The LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic delivers natural, studio-quality amplified tone without sacrificing the acoustic character of the instrument, making it equally reliable in the studio or on stage. Its micro-condenser design captures the guitar's full tonal spectrum for transparent amplification.
What woods are used and why do they matter for tone?
The body is all-solid myrtlewood (top, back, and sides), paired with Sitka spruce bracing and Honduran mahogany side braces that optimize sustain and resonance. This combination produces bold projection and shimmering highs balanced by a powerful low end with tonal richness across all registers.
Is this guitar suitable for fingerstyle and strumming?
Yes—the Eastern hard rock maple neck, African ebony fretboard with offset dot inlays, and 25.5-inch scale length provide stability and smooth playability for both fingerstyle and strumming across the 20 frets. The ergonomic Concerto body shape is especially comfortable for extended fingerstyle sessions.
