Breedlove Oregon Concerto CE 12-String Bourbon Burst (PRE-OWNED)

Handcrafted in Bend, Oregon, the Breedlove Oregon Myrtlewood Concerto CE 12-String is a premium acoustic-electric built for players seeking the lush, shimmering voice that only a great 12-string can provide. Featuring solid myrtlewood for the top, back, and sides, this American-made instrument delivers a remarkably balanced tonal character, combining the warmth of mahogany, the clarity of maple, and the rich overtones of rosewood into one uniquely expressive guitar. Finished in a stunning Bourbon Burst, it is as visually captivating as it is sonically inspiring.

Breedlove's proprietary Concerto body shape offers greater volume and dynamic range than a traditional dreadnought while maintaining exceptional comfort. Whether you're accompanying vocals, filling a room with lush open chords, or recording layered acoustic textures, the Oregon Concerto 12-String delivers remarkable projection, articulation, and sustain.

Body

The all-solid myrtlewood construction gives this guitar its unmistakable voice. Unlike traditional tonewoods, myrtlewood offers a beautifully balanced frequency response with tight, articulate bass, rich midrange, and sparkling highs, making every note of the 12-string shimmer with outstanding clarity. Breedlove's hand-voiced construction and Sound Optimization® process ensure each instrument reaches its full tonal potential, resulting in exceptional resonance, responsiveness, and note separation.

The elegant Bourbon Burst gloss finish highlights the striking grain of the myrtlewood, while the soft Venetian cutaway provides unrestricted access to the upper frets. Black binding, an ebony bridge, and understated offset dot inlays complete the refined aesthetic.

Neck

An Eastern hard rock maple neck offers outstanding stability and a comfortable playing experience, paired with an African ebony fingerboard for smooth response and enhanced note definition. The 25.5-inch scale length and 1¾-inch bone nut provide excellent string spacing for the added courses of a 12-string, making complex chords and fingerstyle passages feel natural and comfortable. A satin Bourbon neck finish ensures a fast, effortless playing feel.

Electronics

Equipped with the highly respected LR Baggs EAS VTC pickup system, the Oregon Myrtlewood Concerto CE faithfully captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice for live performance and recording. The discreet controls preserve the instrument's clean appearance while providing warm, dynamic amplified tone with excellent clarity.
