Breedlove Guitars, Tumalo, Oregon

Tuesday the 18th Bill and I drove up Northeast from here to a beautiful area in Central Oregon, called Bend. Just outside of town is a small area called Tumalo, where Breedlove Guitars is located.

Our trip started early. In order to get up there by 9am, with just over a 3-hr drive, the day was like any other trip. The wonderful change with this was we drove. Instead of hopping on an airplane where you are not quite sure who you are going to be sitting next to, whether you will be comfortable or not, we drove. The vehicle we had told us the temperature outside. We knew it was going to be chilly, but as we were driving over the passes we saw the temperature hit the low 30′s!

The day warmed up nicely as we made it to Bend in good time, had a coffee, then drove out to the factory. This was a wonderful visit! The factory had a great warmth of people who really had a passion to be there.

Our guide for the video, Jayson Bowerman, a 12-year employee of Breedlove, confidently walked us through every process, even doing many of them himself.
