BL.ARTISTA PRO CONCERTINA B/AMB CE E/MY

Myrtlewood grows in Oregon along a 90-mile stretch of the Pacific Ocean coast. It is Breedlove’s favourite tonewood for backs and sides. In addition to its highly varied colour patterns extenuated by the thin Burnt Amber Burst finish, myrtle delivers surprising energy and extraordinary tonal balance. To further boost the high-energy sound, we chose a European maple neck—which is denser than mahogany—and an Ovangkol fretboard and bridge. Of course, the top is European spruce for responsive, powerful projection. We spared no detail, including brass inlays, Fishman Flex Plus-T Electronics, and a travel-ready hardshell case.
