Enjoy Extreme Comfort and Exotic Tonewoods
Perfect for the performer seeking a slimmed-down 6-string, this Breedlove Oregon Concert Thinline CE offers superior comfort during long gigs and sessions. It flaunts a thinner body, which makes it extremely comfortable to play standing up and sitting down. This acoustic-electric guitar is made from 100% sustainably harvested and reclaimed tonewoods. The body features myrtlewood for the top, back, and sides, in addition to a maple neck. Together, the tonewoods deliver a tone that blends the best elements of maple, rosewood, and mahogany into a simply gorgeous tone. This Oregon Concert comes with a sleek neck shape that’s just as comfortable for chording as it is for lead lines. And for gigging, it comes with onboard electronics that supply a true-to-life plugged-in tone.

Magnificent all-myrtlewood body
Your new Oregon Concert Thinline CE features an all-myrtlewood body. Myrtlewood is a hardwood that only grows in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a tonewood known for its widely-varied grain patterns and stunning figure. Tonally, myrtlewood delivers a magical midrange with deep lows and a subtle treble response. When you pair myrtlewood with the maple neck, that midrange only gets more pronounced. Be prepared, though. Once you play it, the Oregon Concert Thinline CE’s thrilling tone will have you hooked.
Forward-thinking Sound Optimization process
Every Made in Bend Breedlove guitar benefits from the company’s proprietary Sound Optimization process. Sound Optimization is a data-driven process that accounts for the inherent variability in natural tonewoods and ensures every guitar performs to its full potential. So how does it work? First, Breedlove sands each tonewood to a desired weight (most guitar companies sand to a uniform thickness). Once the braces are glued in, the company’s luthiers use soft mallets, microphones, and specialized software to analyze the top and back frequency response. They then voice the braces by hand and constantly re-measure the frequency response to ensure the top and back resonate to pre-determined target frequencies.
Breedlove’s groundbreaking combination of data-backed technology with the art of lutherie ensures that their instruments sound unlike any other. The guitar comes alive the second you pluck your first note. Each Sound Optimized guitar offers a huge dynamic range with striking note separation and clarity. Plus, the sustain is out of this world. Breedlove believes in their Sound Optimization technology so much that no instrument leaves their Oregon workshop until it performs to its full potential — even if that means carving on the bracing through the soundhole. With a Sound Optimized Breedlove guitar, you’ll experience a level of performance and sonic consistency that you can’t find anywhere else.
Breedlove: guitars you can feel good about
From the company’s beginning in 1990, Breedlove has focused their efforts on reducing their environmental impact without compromising instrument quality. Breedlove's radical approach to sustainability led to the creation of its Tonewood Certification Program and a commitment to visit each location where its timber is harvested to ensure compliance with sustainability standards. The company has introduced player-centered innovations, including top-loading bridges, custom voicings, and unique neck profiles. From the Discovery to the Legacy, each and every Breedlove is made with an uncompromising dedication to quality sound, flawless workmanship, and environmental sustainability.
