An exceptional everyday instrument: the classic teardrop shape delivers notable clarity and unique, distinctive tones, perfect for Celtic and folk, but it's versatile enough to adapt to any genre. The simple teardrop shape and oval soundhole manifest some of the loudest, most unique tones that you can find. A true work of exquisite craftsmanship, the Premier OO Mandolin features a bigleaf maple neck and rich ebony fingerboard and headstock. The body is made of Western maple with a Sitka spruce top. Breedlove mandolins are known for their ease of play and comfortable ergonomics and the OO is no exception, with a radiused fingerboard and oversize frets. Finished with a silky semi-gloss vintage sunburst, this instrument is a delight to both play and hold. Includes deluxe hardshell case.
