Breedlove ECO Collection

ECO COLLECTION

Where the guitar meets the forest Two values drive Breedlove - protecting our world’s forests and maximising acoustic guitar sound. Breedlove’s ECO Collection addresses both. In a visionary feat of engineering, Breedlove has developed a process to integrate three layers of tonewood - sustainably harvested from forests visited by Breedlove owner Tom Bedell - avoiding the soft centre core that dampens sound on other laminates. The ECO Collection is ushering in a new era in six-string history. With the Breedlove ECO Collection, for the first time, you can play an environmentally friendly, solid top guitar with vibrant, renewable, sound enhancing EcoTonewood back and sides. New Breedlove Designed in Bend Discovery S, Pursuit Exotic S and all-African mahogany Rainforest S models will feature this fully sustainable integrated tonewood technology. Now, great, affordable, natural sound can be good to the earth, too.

No clear-cut wood is used in any new 2022 Breedlove guitar Breedlove EcoTonewood - it’s where music meets the trees.

Breedlove ECO Collection

ECOTONEWOODS

Sustainable, integrated tonewood technology, optimised natural sound

4


With EcoTonewood, Breedlove makes laminate technology sustainable, introducing a resonant core tonewood layer of clear-cut free, individually harvested African mahogany in place of the typical tone-robbing softwoods used in standard acoustic guitar manufacture. Coupled with Breedlove’s deep research into revolutionary body shapes; building to target tonewood weight adds to the optimised, natural sound of each guitar in the ECO Collection. And, Breedlove creates these better sounding laminate guitars while being kind to the earth while maintaining an accessible, entry-level price-point.

Breedlove EcoTonewood—it’s where music meets the trees.

The environmentally friendly interior layer of EcoTonewood is another sound enhancing tonewood veneer - Hawaiian koa, Oregon myrtlewood or African mahogany, depending on the model - matching the instrument’s exquisite, thinly finished exterior. EcoTonewood’s innovative, renewable integrated African mahogany core layer, rich and vibrant is also a true tonewood; replacing the tone-robbing softwoods of guitars past. Sitting beneath a clear-cut free, solid wood top, which serves as the sonic engine of every quality guitar, the exterior layer of Breedlove’s visionary, sustainable EcoTonewood technology is a beautiful, resonant tonewood veneer.

CRAFTED IN OREGON Where we’re from Our instruments are a reflection of who we are, where we’re from and what we believe in. Where Breedlove Guitars are designed and crafted is just as important as how and why they are built. Breedlove Guitars is rooted in the small mountain town of Bend, Oregon. We chose to live close to nature with an emphasis on outdoor recreation, strong community, a love of music, environmental awareness and an appreciation for all things created by skilled craftsmen. We’ve been crafting guitars in Bend for a long time now, and we are happy to call it home. Welcome to Bend. Welcome to Breedlove. The way life should be. The way instruments should be crafted.

Breedlove Legacy - Made in Bend, Oregon USA

Breedlove luthiers grab life - skiing, rafting, hiking! The Made in Bend Legacy series is full of that essence. It’s an honour, they say, to pair exotic tonewoods in exciting combinations; to determine how each individual piece works in concert with another; to create masterful instruments that ring with the sights and sounds of the world’s great forests, and with the soul of both builder and player. Each Legacy is refined and tuned through Sound Optimisation®, housed in a deluxe hardshell case, and equipped with responsive LR Baggs Anthem electronics.

Breedlove Premier - Made in Bend, Oregon USA

Tone first. Breedlove’s sustainable, professional grade Premier rosewood series brings traditional U.S. crafting, clean lines and tried and true topwoods to a contemporary, technologically advanced, handvoiced, Sound Optimised® lifetime instrument. Each Premier, upgraded with new appointments, comes factory equipped with LR Baggs EAS VTC electronics and a deluxe Breedlove hardshell case, all at a remarkably competitive price. Premier - It’s the sound of rosewood now.

East Indian Rosewood

Hand Voiced for Better Sound than Traditional Guitars.

SITKA SPRUCE & ROSEWOOD Sitka spruce is the most popular top wood in history because it works, providing the very definition of what a guitar’s voice should be. Matched with East Indian Rosewood, there may be no more defining a timbre.

ADIRONDACK SPRUCE & ROSEWOOD The classic bluegrass combination of powerful Adirondack spruce and rich East Indian rosewood - ideal for players favouring a heavier style - is guitar magic, pure and simple.

REDWOOD & ROSEWOOD A distinctive Breedlove favourite from the start, redwood over rosewood provides a full-spectrum warmth, clarity and precision favoured by fingerstylists the world over.

Breedlove Oregon Myrtlewood - Made in Bend, Oregon USA With its hypnotic, variegated colour patterns and unique sonic clarity, melding the best aspects of rosewood, mahogany and maple, myrtlewood would qualify as one of the great exotic tonewoods, but it’s native! It grows - gnarled, strong and beautiful - on Oregon’s rainy, windswept Pacific coast, just 90 miles from Bend. Breedlove, in fact, led the charge in using myrtle for fine guitars, and that proud lineage continues with the best-selling Oregon series. Denser than Sitka spruce, myrtlewood - as a result of Sound Optimisation® - can be planed and sanded even thinner, releasing more energy for a balanced profile alive with bass, midrange and treble in equal measure. Available in three revolutionary Breedlove body styles with contemporary soft cutaways, each equipped with LR Baggs EAS VTC electronics and come with a deluxe Breedlove hardshell case.

Bridges designed his Oregon model, along with two new, similarly clear-cut free, sustainable Organic Collection instruments - all feature his “All in this Together” motto emblazoned on the fretboard and his name inlaid on the headstock.

Breedlove Oregon Sitka Spruce - Made in Bend, Oregon USA

While Oregon myrtlewood may be denser than Sitka spruce, it pairs with it to create guitars that fly past all others, surpassing the sound, tonal balance and richness of more traditional tonewood combinations. Our Sitka, from rugged stock, straight and true, is sustainably sourced. We never harvest these magnificent trees but work with Alaska Specialty Woods to salvage blown down trunks, often nearly 600 years old, from the forest floor, contributing to the health of the biosphere while putting a supreme instrument in your hands. Individually crafted in Bend, with all native tonewoods and the remarkable benefits of Sound Optimisation®, each Oregon Concert soft cutaway spruce/ myrtle model, available in Natural or Whiskey Burst finish, is performance ready, with LR Baggs EAS VTC electronics and a deluxe Breedlove hardshell case. Marrying Sitka Spruce with Myrtlewood. Surpassing the Sound, Tonal Balance and Richness of Traditional Tonewoods
