Breedlove Organic Collection Signature Companion Cutaway CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar Copper Burst

OVERVIEW


All-solid sustainably sourced tonewood acoustic-electric cutaway with torrefied top, soft cutaway and Natural Sound electronics.
The Breedlove Signature Companion CE acoustic-electric cutaway 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.
Sustainably sourced tonewood 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 and soft cutaway
Though it's a travel-size acoustic-electric guitar, the Breedlove Signature Companion CE has all the features of its larger cousins, including the benefits of Breedlove's Sound Optimization research. With a soft cutaway that allows you access to every fret, you’ll get hours of unfettered playing at the beach, on a hike or in your home studio.
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 sound hole 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 CE is a winning combination for the player seeking a unique sound from responsibly harvested woods.
