For players looking for traditional construction with cutting-edge aesthetics, the Premier FF delivers strong, punchy tone with plenty of bass; a deep throaty voice resonates from the F-holes in the Sitka spruce top. With a design that reflects the golden era of mandolin building, the Premier Series FF mandolin combines the best traditional construction elements with Breedlove's forward-thinking design and attention to detail. The back and side woods are Western maple and the bigleaf maple neck is faced with an ebony fingerboard. Finished in a vintage semi-gloss sunburst, this mandolin exudes warmth and energy. This robust instrument is great for traditional bluegrass, but can certainly hold its own in any genre. With a radiused fingerboard and oversize frets, Breedlove mandolins are extremely comfortable to play. Includes a deluxe hardshell case.
