collapse expand iconDescription

The Breedlove Oregon Companion CE acoustic-electric guitar brings impressive acoustic tone and innovative electronics together in a slim, travel-friendly package. This handcrafted guitar features a myrtlewood top, back and sides sourced from Oregon's coast, known for its rich, resonant tone. Breedlove's hand-voiced bracing optimizes the slim body for a full sound you'd expect from a larger guitar. The Hard Rock maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide smooth playability. With the LR Baggs Element pickup system, you get natural amplified tone with volume and tone controls right at your fingertips. The guitar comes complete with a protective hardshell case, making the Oregon Companion CE an ideal travel companion.

Slim Body With Hand-Voiced Bracing Provides Full Acoustic Tone

Don't let the Oregon Companion CE's travel-friendly body fool you - this guitar delivers impressive volume and resonance you'd expect from a full-sized instrument. Breedlove hand-voices the bracing through a process called Sound Optimization, meticulously tuning the wood's frequencies for the best possible tone. This allows the slim, chambered myrtlewood body to produce clear, balanced acoustic tone with piano-like separation across the tonal spectrum. The soundholes let the guitar breathe freely as you play. You'll love how comfortable the Oregon Companion CE feels on stage or on the go, while benefiting from its bold acoustic voice.

Myrtlewood Top, Back and Sides Provide Signature Oregon Coast Tone

This guitar gets its rich, organic tone from myrtlewood, sourced sustainably from Oregon's Pacific coast. The beautifully grained, aromatic wood is wonderfully resonant. With myrtlewood making up the top, back and sides, the Companion CE is wonderfully alive with the quintessential Oregon coast sound Breedlove guitars are known for. Myrtlewood's clear, balanced tone brings out the nuances of your playing across the tonal range. When unplugged, the all-myrtlewood body rewards you with a gorgeous acoustic voice. Plugged in, it provides a lush, organic foundation for the LR Baggs pickup.

LR Baggs Element Pickup System for Natural Amplified Sound

Thanks to the LR Baggs Element active soundhole pickup system, the Oregon Companion CE fills rooms with its acoustic tone when amplified. The undersaddle piezo pickup combined with the body sensor captures your guitar's natural tone and dynamics. The onboard volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in your amplified sound, with robust lows and clear, shimmering highs. The discrete soundhole-mounted controls are easy to access yet remain out of the way while playing. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the Element system makes this an extremely versatile acoustic-electric.

Premium Build With Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

The hand-rubbed maple neck has a fast, comfortable profile suited for electric and steel-string players. The ebony fingerboard adds crisp note articulation. Together they offer smooth, fluid playability along the slim neck. Premium tuning machines keep the Companion CE in tune even during frequent transport. The ebony bridge and nut help transfer string vibrations into the body with clarity. The neck attaches securely with Breedlove's easily adjustable bolt-on design. From its appointments to its thoughtful ergonomics, the Oregon Companion CE is a professional-grade instrument ready for the stage.
