The Breedlove Oregon Concert CE delivers the big, lush, full body sound of all Concerts, with the power of Myrtlewood. You will not find a vintage or current guitar in this price range with this big a balanced sound. It just takes a few strums and picking the strings to appreciate what Sound Optimization has accomplished with these magnificent guitars.

About the Concert Body Shape

The Concert is our most popular body shape, favored by players because it is well-balanced, compact, comfortable to play, and offers all the qualities of a great sounding guitar. It generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum.

About Myrtlewood

Myrtlewood offers a strong fundamental with a powerful voice. Grown in the northwest, it is a favorite for many styles of playing and is used primarily for back and sides. Similar to maple, it is clear and bright with superb projection and sustain, and offers a very full and balanced sound. Highly unique, no two sets are alike.

Crafting Guitars to Fit Your Play Style

With Sound Optimization*, Breedlove individually selects and prepares each guitar top with the right stiffness (deflection) for the body shape and the playing style you prefer * more stiffness for stronger strumming - heavier play; more forgiveness for fingerstyle and lighter play.

This Concert was designed for Versitile… read more Play, Multiple Styles: Breedlove crafts most guitars with a versatile *all-purpose*sound and feel * well balanced between strumming and fingerstyle play.

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. read less

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I wanted a sleek modern looking acoustic-electric and Breedlove built a beautifully handcrafted piece of art that has become my daily player. Comfortable neck, nice and low action - a tiny trusty rod adjustment for the humidity of Florida. Beautiful resonant sound - much more piano-like than ‘Martin’ sounding. The bouts are a smaller than a dreadnaught- but the depth keeps it deep and resonant. The LR Baggs electronics are the best sounding that I’ve worked with.This guitar’s finish is stunning, draws attention, and I can’t wait for the myrtle to age - it’s a keeper, and I look forward to playing this for a few decades.

Sound
The sound is modern, piano like - with full spectrum chord sounds, especially upper harmonics.

Features
The neck finish is perfect, fit is comfortable, craftsmanship is top quality.

Ease of Use
I pair this with an orange acoustic pre and go straight into FRFR powered cabs. I add a mic with the orange pre when I want additional ‘natural acoustic’ sounds. The LR Baggs works phenomenally with the orange acoustic pre.

Quality
Attention to detail is what you’d expect for a handmade guitar of this price. Zero issues in craftsmanship or finish. It’s flawless other than the wear and tear I’ve put on it.

Value
I would buy another Breedlove, definitely. I’ll be shopping their smaller bodies… read more soon.

Manufacturer Support
After registering on the Breedlove site, they actually reached out and sent a ‘welcome to Breedlove’ package with some goodies.

The Wow Factor
The finish on myrtle is really a stunner - the satin finish on the back of the neck is smooth and ever-so playable. This is a guitar that grabs attention when it’s seen.
