Breedlove Discovery Companion CE Mahogany Electro-Acoustic Travel Guitar

Body Shape

Breedlove’s first dedicated travel guitar, the Companion body has been developed using the company’s coveted sound-optimisation process. This process has dictated everything from the guitar’s shape, to the air chamber and sound hole size. The result is a diminutive instrument with a 23.5” scale length, which, nevertheless, looks just right proportionally. It plays just like a regular guitar too, and sounds much bigger than it has any right to.

Top, Back and Side Wood

Mahogany is a medium-lightweight wood, ranging in colour from light brown to dark, primarily used for necks because of the feel and the stability it provides. Balanced, resonant tone with notable sustain. Thick bottom end, rich midrange, and controlled, warm top end. Found from southern Mexico through Central America and south to Brazil and Bolivia. Mahogany is the national tree of Belize, where the national coat of arms features a mahogany tree with two woodcutters bearing an axes and paddle under the national motto, “Sub umbra florero,” which is Latin for “Under the shade I flourish.”

Breedlove Pinless Bridge

The Breedlove Pinless Bridge helps maintain the integrity of the top by eliminating the need for six drilled string holes. The fewer holes in your
soundboard, the more evenly the sound wave can move across the interior, without any loss of energy. The Breedlove Pinless Bridge also provides a
gentler string-break angle from the bridge to the top of the saddle, reducing saddle strain. This innovative bridge also makes string changes a
breeze, especially on 12 strings. Plus, you'll never again have to worry about lost, worn-out, or broken bridge pins.

Breedlove Neck

Breedlove guitars feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish also contributes to ideal playability. The labour-intensive finish process includes precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.
