This is the one that started it all the original Breedlove guitar, and still one of the most popular models. The C15 is also available upon special request in a soft cutaway version. Steve added a half-inch to the body depth to make the C20 as deep as a dreadnought. The result is a grand concert-sized guitar with a sound that s full, complex and rich in overtones like a dreadnought an instrument that s both easy to hold and wonderful to hear.

The challenge in building a dreadnought guitar is to craft an instrument that produces a powerful, resonant bass without sacrificing the clarity and precision of the mid-range and treble. The oversized body of the Model MJ jumbo guitar nearly an inch longer than the Model RD20 dreadnought and its distinctive shape, with a narrower waist than most guitars of its size, produces more resonating surface. The result is a sound that is big, but beautifully well balanced an elegant combination of power and control. Inspired by the legends of indigenous ancient peoples, this instrument is created from woods native to the region. The back and sides are myrtlewood from Oregon s coastal mountains.
