First off, I live in a small enough town, so small that there is no music store around. So, I have bought all 4 of my guitars from zZounds online. And actually, I've bought 5 but returned one of them, which was an easy-peazy process with zZounds. That said, I thoroughly research each instrument, read tons of reviews, watch a couple dozen YouTube video reviews, and talk to other musicians before I purchase a guitar. This is my first Breedlove purchase and I'm quite sure that it won't be my last. This guitar is AWESOME. I don't know how else to say it, just simply awesome. The Oregon series guitars are just what everyone said they were, great guitars. I got the Whiskey Burst version and it looks incredible. The glossy Solid Sitka Spruce top with the burnt edge really sets this instrument off and could double as a piece of artwork in your living room, cave, or studio. That would be a waste though, this guitar wants to be played. It sounds louder than I expected from a concert series model and has more bass than I expected as well. The tones ring out through the sound hole crisply and sustain quite well. It has an 1 3/4" nut width which makes it easier to play for somebody (like me) that has plumper fingers. And it is easy to play, very easy to play. The top is solid Sitka Spruce, and solid Myrtle wood back and sides. The Myrtle is satin finish and it looks good and should season well over the years. The back of the neck is beautifully done in a satin hard maple and feels perfect to my hand as I play. I've played it plugged in and it sounds pretty dang good then too. The only downside I would say about this guitar is that when you get down to finger picking frets 15-20 the sound seems to diminish some. But it is an acoustic guitar and most of the time I live above 12 so it isn't really a big deal, just an observation. One more thing I should add is that the Oregon Concert Acoustic won the 23rd Annual MMR Dealers Choice Award for Acoustic Guitar of the Year in 2015. So, I'm not alone when I think that this guitar is fantastic.

Before getting this guitar, I was originally looking at Taylor's 312ce's and 214ce's, until I found this guitar, which had everything I wanted (concert body, electric, non-gloss sides and back). I was a bit skeptical because Breedlove's aren't as popular or reviewed a whole lot, but I figured I would give this a guitar a chance. Overall, this guitar sounds and looks fantastic! Tone wise with the factory strings (phosphor bronze), it sounds very mid-range heavy, giving the guitar a warm, mellow-ish sound to it. With 80/20's though, the guitar brightens up a lot more, and is definitely my choice of strings. I managed to get a great deal for my Breedlove, and don't regret it one bit!
