The simple teardrop shape of the Premier OF Mandolin offers musicians much more than expected: substantial projection, and a boomy, deep range that speaks with clarity and authority. Composed of a Sitka spruce top and Western maple back and sides, the OF has tone bar bracing which further complements the bold projection. Breedlove mandolins are said to be easy to play with a radiused fingerboard and oversize frets that allow for extreme comfort. The finish on this OF is a sumptuous semi-gloss vintage sunburst, both beautiful to the eyes and pleasing to the hand. Includes deluxe hardshell case.
