The Breedlove Companion Body
Historically, serious guitar players on-the-move have faced a rather tough dilemma; contend with the challenges of traveling with a full-size guitar or settle for a more convenient, smaller instrument with traditionally reduced sound quality... the travel guitar.
Travel guitars. They’ve become ubiquitous. Beaters, some call them. An instrument that’s perfect for a campfire, a guitar to keep in the office or a gift for a niece with a musical bent. Some love them for the novelty, and others even use them for their intended purpose, as an instrument to take on the plane or up the side of a mountain when duty calls.
The team at Breedlove thinks travel guitars are the bee’s knees, too. They just hadn’t found one that sounded the way a guitar should. Until now! The Companion provides a level of projection, resonance and tonal balance heretofore unavailable in a travel guitar.
The Breedlove Organic Collection - Sustainable Guitars Sound Better!
Great sound. No clear-cut woods. The result of a pioneering three-year development programme, The Organic Collection from Breedlove offers four impressive series of sustainably-sourced, all-solid-wood acoustic electric guitars at revolutionary prices. The superior sound of the solid wood is enhanced by thin tops and UV finishes with less than half the glue for increased volume and sustain. No synthetic materials, resin impregnated softwoods or glue-heavy plywoods are used, reducing the guitars’ weight and further improving tone.
Breedlove aims to be the world’s most ecologically friendly and sustainable guitar brand. As such, all wood used in the Organic series comes from individually harvested trees, rather than from clear-cut forests. Revolutionary at this price point, Breedlove have used FSC-certified Mahogany and Spruce, and Oregon Myrtlewood.
For the guitars with Spruce sound boards, Breedlove have employed a torrefication process, which heats the wood, removing moisture and stabilising it. This has dual benefits: All-solid acoustic guitars are notoriously susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity, sometimes leading to costly repairs, and in other cases ruining them beyond repair. Torrefication mitigates against this susceptibility, increasing the wood’s resistance and lifespan, especially in more extreme environments. The other benefit is tonal. Over time, solid woods improve and mature, improving a fine instrument’s tone. Torrefication gives you this benefit right out of the box: rich, aged tone, without the vintage instrument price tag!
Finally, all Organic Series guitars are fitted with Breedlove’s new Natural-Sound electronics. This system features soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls with easy battery replacement.
