Breedlove Oregon Concert Ember CE Myrtlewood-Myrtlewood LTD Acoustic Electric Guitar

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

We're proud to offer this Limited Edition Breedlove Oregon Concert CE Myrtlewood acoustic-electric guitar!

Myrtlewood is a fairly unique wood that is starting to make its way more and more into acoustic guitar building. Breedlove started to champion the idea of using local and sustainable woods from around the Oregon area for some of these guitars, and myrtlewood is at the top of that list. It sounds awesome, looks beautiful, and is relatively easy to work with. This one is in a gorgeous Amber finish.

The result of an all-myrtlewood acoustic is a bright and loud guitar that should be able to hold it's own even in a dense mix full of electric instruments. It reminds me of the tone you get from Koa. Lush, organic and shimmery, the sound of this guitar is as unique as myrtlewood’s interesting figuring. It has the power and crisp top-end of maple, but with a rich, chimey harmonic content all its own. It’s great as a fingerpicker and will provide a nice foundation for the singer/songwriter. Thanks to Myrtlewood being a relatively dense wood, it'll also handle heavy strumming without overdriving the top. 

Breedlove's neck shapes are a bit narrower/thinner from front to back than traditional acoustics and almost play more like an electric. They're extremely comfortable for anyone that finds a traditional acoustic neck a bit bulky. The fretwork and craftsmanship is top-notch to allow for very low action, if that's your cup of tea, for fingerpicking hours on end without having to worry about hand fatigue. 

The low-profile but effective pickup system makes gigging easy, and the bridge-pin free bridge design will let you change strings on the fly. Perfect for anyone who’s looking for a gig-ready, concert shaped acoustic guitar with a subtle twist. This guitar is really built with the gigging musician in mind. Plug into your favorite amp or send your signal to the front of house PA if you need some more volume. If you break a string or remember that you need to re-string your guitar right before you hit the stage, the Breedlove bridge will allow you to do so without taking up a ton of your precious time. The guitar's got everything you need to spend more time playing and less time fussing with microphones or string changes.

Versatility is the name of the game with this one. It's perfect for the guitarist that needs an acoustic that can handle a little of everything.
