Sound Optimization Process Maximizes Resonance

Each Legacy Companion undergoes Breedlove’s proprietary sound optimization process, where master luthiers meticulously hand-voice the guitar’s bracing to produce the optimal resonance and sustain. Using specialized taps, they target specific frequencies in the top and back, listening for overtones and adjusting the bracing until each Legacy Companion rings with its own distinct, optimized voice. This detailed hand-voicing maximizes the potential of the Port Orford cedar and walnut tonewoods, resulting in impressive volume, dynamic range and singing sustain.

Plug In with Onboard LR Baggs Element Pickup

The Breedlove Legacy Companion comes equipped with an LR Baggs Element active undersaddle pickup and soundhole-mounted preamp, providing optimized amplified tone true to the guitar’s inherent acoustic sound. The hand-flexed transducer captures the guitar’s organic midrange character, while the volume and tone controls let you shape your amplified tone. With the Legacy’s impressive acoustic potential amplified through the Element system, you can confidently use this compact acoustic on stage or in the studio.
