Much more than a beach guitar, the Signature Companion Copper E puts all of Breedlove's famous tone and playability into a traveler frame, ready to sling over your shoulder or step on the stage. In every way, the Companion feels like a "real" guitar, because it is, right down to its Natural Sound electronics package, full width nut and slim, fast neck. Developed in Bend, Oregon, with Sound Optimization in mind, this traditional, non-cutaway instrument is your true friend, ready to go wherever you go, and ready to take you places you've never been.FeaturesSustainable & Clear Cut FreeMade from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tonewoods. No clear-cut trees are used in these instruments. Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. As we move towards sustainability across all lines, owner Tom Bedell has visited 15 countries to discover exactly where the wood comes from, how it is selected and harvested, and how this affects the wildlife, the community, the forest and the planet.Companion Body ShapeHistorically, 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  &#189; the travel guitar.Real Solid Tonewoods for Superior SoundNo Richlite or resin impregnated softwoods, no glue-heavy plywoods: just solid real tonewoods for real tone.Natural Sound ElectronicsNew Breedlove Natural-Sound electronics with volume and tone controls, and easy battery replacement uses 2 x AAA batteries.Torrefied European SpruceAs a guitar top, European spruce is powerful like Adirondack, clear like Sitka, and complex and responsive like Engelmann, all of which are employed in various Breedlove guitar lines. Torrefied European spruce graces the Artista, Performer and Signature Series in Breedlove's new Organic Collection of sustainably sourced, all solid wood guitars at revolutionary prices. Torrefaction, a thermal process that artificially ages the wood while also turning it more resilient, makes these instruments explode with vintage tone, singing like an old friend that's been played by a master for 30 years.With the Organic Collection three years in the making, Breedlove owner Tom Bedell literally climbed a mountain to be positive that the exotic FSC-certified tonewoods used in the assortment are harvested in responsible ways that respect the earth, while providing for superior tone that will last a lifetime. High in the windblown Swiss Alps, Bedell watched as European spruce trees were individually selected-each yielding many dozens of top sets-with an eye towards keeping the old growth stands robust for decades to come.African MahoganySometimes called khaya, African mahogany has a familiar crisp, clean and warm voice and boasts an impressive versatility, taking well to fingerpicking as well as to a more robust strumming attack without losing clarity. All mahogany instruments-like the Organic Collection Wildwood Series (which features sustainably harvested wood source from the Republic of Congo) offer a natural compression that delights blues players, folkies and singer/songwriters.Versatile Play StyleThe Breedlove Play Style system was created to help you, the player, select your sound and playing style. Finding the most appropriate guitar to fit your sound requires finding not only the correct body shape, but the proper tonewood combinations to fit your style of play. Each Breedlove guitar is designed for a specific play style and sound, the Play Style systems assign a playing style icon to each instrument.V | Versatile Play, Multiple Styles: Breedlove crafts most guitars with a versatile "all-purpose" sound and feel - well balanced between strumming and fingerstyle play.
