Breedlove Guitars is proud to unveil the Oregon Concert CE Red Cedar-Myrtlewood – Earth Day Special Edition, a stunning tribute to sustainability, tonewood artistry, and the spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Limited to just five pieces, this exceptional instrument honors Earth Month with a design rooted in ecological responsibility and sonic excellence.
Crafted with a solid, one-piece red cedar top and hand-selected “Rain” myrtlewood back and sides, this guitar delivers warm, rich tonal character balanced with shimmering clarity. The fretboard features a striking green abalone salmon inlay, swimming upstream toward a detailed rosette and top purfling, paying homage to the region’s rivers and native wildlife.
Each instrument is hand-voiced in the Breedlove Custom Shop using the brand’s exclusive Sound Optimization® process, ensuring maximum resonance and tonal balance. Outfitted with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, this model maintains its acoustic purity when amplified.
“The Oregon Concert CE Red Cedar-Myrtlewood Earth Day Special Edition exemplifies our belief that exceptional sound, craftsmanship, and sustainable design go hand in hand,” said Angela Christensen, Head of Product Development and Wood Management for Breedlove Guitars. “This guitar is a celebration of our planet and our commitment to creating instruments that inspire players while honoring the environment.”
Like all Breedlove guitars, this model is built with no clear-cut wood. Each tonewood is individually harvested, reclaimed, or salvaged, and carefully tracked to ensure ethical sourcing and forest conservation.
Only five instruments are available, making this Earth Day Special Edition a rare and meaningful addition to the acclaimed Oregon Series.
