Description
With a design that reflects the golden era of mandolin building, the American Series FF mandolin combines the best traditional construction elements with Breedlove's cutting-edge aesthetics and attention to detail. The FF has a strong, punchy tone with plenty of bass. The deep throaty voice resonates from the f-holes on the Sitka spruce top. The back and side woods are Western Maple and the Big Leaf 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 its original hardshell case.
