Breedlove Organic Collection Signature Companion Acoustic-Electric Guitar Copper Burst

OVERVIEW


All-solid acoustic-electric with torrefied top, sustainably sourced tonewood and Natural Sound electronics.

The Breedlove Signature Companion places torrefied European spruce over African mahogany for what we at Musician's Friend think is a classic powerhouse combination. This Breedlove Organic Collection model is perfect for a first-time player, a skilled player taking things up a notch or a gigging pro in search of a new, dependable stage voice. Torrefaction—essentially roasting the wood—doesn't just help you sound great, but makes the instrument easier to maintain in light of temperature and humidity changes. This Breedlove Organic model comes in Breedlove's new "travel" size, which is in a class all its own.
Tonewood that's sustainably sourced with torrefied top
At Musician's Friend, we love that no clear-cut woods are used in the Breedlove Organic Collection, only sustainably sourced all-solid FSC Certified exotic tonewoods and native myrtlewood. But we're even more impressed with the sound. The "aged" power of torrefied European spruce tops is every bit the match for high-end U.S. models.

Breedlove Companion body shape
Though it's a travel-size acoustic-electric guitar, the Breedlove Signature Companion has all the features of its larger cousins, including the benefits of Breedlove's Sound Optimization research.
Optimized for sound and built for performance
Breedlove Natural Sound electronics will help you sound better and play more by placing controls right where you need them—in the soundhole for quick, on-the-strum access. Volume and tone are easily addressed with soundhole-mounted controls.
The ideal guitar for the eco-friendly player
Breedlove has made a name for itself in developing beautifully crafted instruments with a distinctive, unique sound. With the release of the Breedlove Organic Collection, Breedlove steps up their game by offering sustainably harvested all-solid acoustic-electrics at an affordable price. The Breedlove Signature Companion is a winning combination for the player seeking a unique sound from responsibly harvested woods.
More on the Breedlove Organic Collection
Designed in Bend, Oregon, with no synthetic materials and half the glue, the Breedlove Organic Collection makes four great-sounding lightweight, responsive series of instruments accessible at revolutionary prices. Each wood combination comes in Breedlove’s three distinctive, popular shapes—Concerto, Concert and 12-fret Concertina. The Signature Series and Wildwood Series also come in the new travel-size Companion shape. As Breedlove owner Tom Bedell says, "Saving the world's forests never sounded so good."
