In the quartet of mid-size American custom-guitar manufacturers (which also includes Bourgeois, Collings, and Santa Cruz), Bend, Oregon–based Breedlove Guitars stands out as the strongest, most diverse, and boldest brand. Since it was founded 20 years ago, Breedlove has grown from a two-person shop to a company that offers a full line of guitars and mandolins made in two countries and at nearly every price point. It has also become an active player in its hometown's artistic environment. Even though Breedlove's history isn't as long as some of the classic names in American guitar manufacturing, the company has capitalized on creative designs and fearless expansion to carve its own niche.
