THE BREEDLOVE TEAM

Spend just a few moments with any Breedlove crafter and you will quickly learn that their passion for music is matched by only one thing, their obsession with guitars. More than a few keep it going after work, hammering frets and shaving braces in home shops, or playing gigs at local hot spots. You will also learn, depending on whom you talk to, the fastest black diamond slope on Mt. Bachelor, a top-secret fly casting eddy on the Deschutes or the most captivating view from the Farewell Bend trail. Even more than the strings, that lust for life and love of nature might just be the most important element in your Breedlove guitar.

BREEDLOVE HISTORY

Innovation.

It’s been the hallmark of Breedlove Guitars since day one, a restless urge to perfect acoustic sound, to match that sound with effortless playability, and to craft a clean, modern aesthetic.

Innovation.

It’s what Breedlove does every day, so you will sound better, play better and play more.

In 1990, pioneering California luthiers Larry Breedlove and Steve Henderson pulled up San Diego County stakes, leaving gigs at Taylor Guitars for new, wide open digs. The duo landed in tiny Tumalo, Oregon, just northwest of Bend, opening shop in what was essentially an old barn.

But this was no simple mountain aerie. It was a laboratory and Breedlove and Henderson were bent on building better guitars by the most modern methods, developing advances like graduated tops, bridge trusses, asymmetrical headstocks and winged bridges which they employed in custom fingerstyle instruments like the soft cutaway C25 Northwest, which helped introduce Oregon myrtlewood to the guitar world.
