Cajun_Strummer Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I own a Breedlove Signature Organic Concerto guitar. The guitar is designed in Bend, OR, foreign made, and set up in Bend, OR. I really like the guitar. It is closest in size to a dreadnought, but has a different shape. The narrower waist makes it more comfortable to play despite its size. It is not a bass heavy as a Martin. Martin lovers would probably not like it. However, to my ear it is more brighter than a Martin, but more balanced. I choose not to shell out the bucks for an Oregon series, as I am not that serious a player, but I am sure that the upper end US made Breedlove guitars are great. Their designs are innovative and as an engineer by trade, I appreciate that aspect of their designs. In the end the sound is great.

sgdude62 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I came across this thread looking for suggestions on a problem with Breedloves - the soundhole pickup coming loose, irritating. But, reading this, even being an old thread, I wanted to say that I agree with PastorMike earlier in the thread - all guitars are different, and I love every guitar for its differences. I have been fortunate enough to own many high-end guitars over many years, and currently own several Gibson customs, nice Taylors, and not too long ago, purchased a couple of Breedlove Premiere's. One is the Concerto with the Adi top and Rosewood B/S, and the other (which got me on the Breedlove direction) was the Concert Redwood/Rosewood, which IMHO is a truly amazing guitar. The Adi is a boomer - but I'm going to need some time to really get it to open up. Been a Gibson guy my whole life, and can't say other than that redwood, that I'd ever give up one of my Gibsons for a Breedlove, but each guitar I own has different qualities, and I play each of them for different reasons, and enjoy them for different reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came up with that evolving list of "Various J-45 Models" and started with a count around 60 if I remember. As far as Breedlove, the ones I've tried were low end - so I never considered the high end ones. I think Guitar Makers should be like beer companies. Cheaper guitars should be called "Lite"...

At some point I got a Hughesnet satellite thing that was limited and then eventually we got high speed. I don't remember years anymore. Or names. Or numbers...

Erik Lunde Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I'm a working singer-songwriter and I own and play a 2006 Bozeman Gibson J 45. It is my day to day guitar and it has a classic J45 sound that I love. But when it had to go in the shop, I needed a great back up guitar that could at least compare to it - but didn't cost me quite as much. After much looking and playing, I fell in love with a Breedlove Oregon dreadnought. Sitka spruce top, Ebony fretboard, silky maple neck, Myrtlewood back and sides. It's a really special guitar with a big full sound and a wider neck that's great for fingerpicking. It's a different voice from the Gibson, but it's a great sound. That's the Breedlove in this video below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis96013 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I have a 2021 Breedlove Oregon series, spruce top with myrtle-wood b\s. Great for finger style. I’d sell my Taylor 717 before I’d part wit h my Breedlove. Of course, my main guitar is my newly acquired Songwriter std. my Breedlove will probably collect dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
