Loud and articulate acoustic-electric 12-string.
The Oregon Concerto Bourbon 12-String CE Myrtlewood is a body size larger than Breedlove’s Concert model, delivering more projection from the larger Concerto body shape. This acoustic-electric guitar has become a favorite of players around the world. The Breedlove sound comes through bold and clean with balanced bass, mids, and highs reminiscent of rosewood. A soft cutaway provides access to the entire ebony fretboard. It is designed for heavy playing style.
Engineered to perfection, this guitar is ideal for strumming and rhythm, but it’s not just loud; it has more note-to-note clarity than most large-body guitars. The maple neck complements the myrtlewood in tonal perfection. Myrtlewood is locally sourced in the Pacific Northwest a short distance from where they are hand-crafted in small batches by Breedlove’s dedicated craftsmen.
The myrtlewood sound stays true when amplified through the highly reliable LR Baggs EAS VTC electronics. You will sound better, play better and play more on a Breedlove Oregon Series guitar.
Myrtlewood is the tonewood foundation for an innovative sound that is reminiscent of rosewood with pronounced bass, strong midrange and brilliant highs that sit well in the mix without being too bright or overpowering. Studio musicians and sound engineers rave about the balanced, clean note-for-note tone, while touring musicians and enthusiasts alike marvel at the pure, clean sound. Visually, each myrtlewood guitar is uniquely distinct. A hand-finished maple neck provides a strong playing foundation, and the sound of the guitar stays true when amplified through the highly reliable LR Baggs EAS VTC electronics. You will sound better, play better, and play more on a Breedlove Oregon Series guitar.
Historically, larger guitars are designed for bigger sound and stronger play. Breedlove can achieve this robust playing style on the guitar body shape that is most comfortable to the player.

Breedlove Neck
Breedlove guitar necks feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. Unlike traditional dovetail neck joints that require major surgery for a neck re-set, it is easy to adjust the play action and neck angle with the Breedlove bolt-on neck and single-action truss rod. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish contributes to ideal playability – the finish process alone takes three days, including precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.Specifications
