The Premier FF Mandolins from Breedlove have been so popular that
we've really had a hard time keeping the around. They've got a lot to
offer in terms of beauty, quality, workmanship, tone and value. This
one is no different - and it happens to be really dang pretty as well. The Blonde is lovely, with all of the natural beauty of the wood, accentuated by the fine gloss finish and lovingly adorned with black body binding.
This mando also boasts higher level wood selection as well as
bracing. So the fine folks at Breedlove spent more time with this
beauty, really trying to get more acoustic power from it's body. The
Maple back and sides are very well flamed, as is the neck, which has a
gloss on the headstock, but the playing surface on the rear of the neck
is hand rubbed to be comfortable and fast without the stickiness of
some gloss finishes. The Sitka top is evenly and tightly grained for
beauty and fantastic tone production. The ebony peghead overlay is
also adorned with a subtle Kim Breedlove inlay.
Tonally it's got the pop and volume a traditional player would need,
as well as the depth and life they would want, but would expect to pay
a whole bunch more for. Bluegrass, rock or jazz - This thing'll do
it. It's literally just sitting there, waiting to make a beautiful noise.
And of course, this thing exemplifies the fantastic playability that
Breedlove Mandolins. Your left hand will thank you. Also features a
hardshell case, a lifetime warranty, a Monteleone tailpiece and
Schaller tuners.
Your spouse said it was cool to get whatever you wanted.
