Holy Frijoles! This is a prototype we challenged Breedlove to a few months back (okay, actually it was like 10 months ago).  Being big fans of oval-hole mandolins, we thought "Hey, what about a new FF with the oval hole?" and they said "Gee, that's a great idea, if you want to see one, order it."

So we did.

And here it is......

It's one bad mamma jamma.

The Honeyburst finish is one of our favorites and the wood selections are higher grade than a normal Quartz (nuthin' but the good stuff for OUR customers...) so it's already got a lot going for it.  But with the oval hole and X-brace, it's got the sound.  Deep and rich, with a complex and full voice, it'd be an incredible mando for anyone.  But what kills us is how surprisingly loud it is.  It'll knock your socks off.

Label inside says it's #1 of it's kind.  (Just like us.)

This mando is FO real.
