Sustainably Harvested Tonewoods With Resonant Properties The Breedlove Oregon concert guitar achieves its bold yet balanced tone from the pairing of solid Sitka spruce on top with solid myrtlewood back and sides. These tonewoods are carefully selected and harvested in an environmentally sustainable way. The lightweight spruce offers crystalline highs and articulate string separation. Myrtlewood contributes gorgeous midrange and warm, rich bass frequencies. Together these woods create an organic, resonant sound with singing overtones. The hand-voiced bracing furthers the guitar's potential by optimizing vibration and projection. Plug in Anywhere With LR Baggs Element Pickup System While the Breedlove Oregon sounds fantastic unplugged, its LR Baggs Element pickup system lets plug into an amp or PA system for amplified performances. The Element system captures guitar's natural tone with a seamless blend between the undersaddle piezo pickup and an internal microphone. The soundhole-mounted preamp provides volume and tone controls that are easy to adjust. Just plug in via the endpin jack and 'll be able to project sound in larger venues. The flexibility makes the Oregon an ideal gigging and recording guitar. Comfortable Playability From Slim Neck Profile The Breedlove Oregon concert guitar features a comfortable slim soft C neck profile that makes playing a breeze. It enables great feel and faster finger placement for scales, chords and leads up the maple neck. The slimmer nut width is ideal for players with smaller hands while still being comfortable for most.
