Breedlove Oregon Concertina CE Myrtlewood – Beautiful to behold and play!

BODY SHAPE

Released in 2018, the Concertina is Breedlove’s small body guitar, effectively replacing the Parlor model in the company’s American-made range. It delivers a beautifully clear, crisp, loud sound. It’s 12-frets to the body design make it a joy to play. Extensive Sound Optimization engineering has resulted in a body shape that has a bigger sound and is more comfortable to play than a traditional parlour. New for 2020, the Concertina comes with an elegant cutaway for markedly improved upper-fret access.

BACK, SIDES AND TOP WOOD

Myrtlewood, umbellularia californica, formerly oreodaphne californica, originates in the western United States in Northern California and Oregon. Myrtlewood offers a strong fundamental with a powerful voice. Similar to maple, it has a clear and bright voice with superb projection and sustain, and offers a full and balanced sound. A versatile non-traditional tonewood, it is a favourite for many styles of playing. Myrtle has very unique and widely varied figure – no two sets are alike. Colouration ranges from blonde to taupe.

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.
