This is the exact model from the NAMM show. This mandolin was on display as an ultimate example of how great of a piece Breedlove can make for the price range. It stands to reason that this piece in particular is going to be at least a little nicer than normal - you know to make a good impression, and all.
Well, this Quartz OF is fantastically beautiful - with an exquisite dark sunburst finish and some very impressive woods. Featuring the plusses you'd expect on a Breedlove - radius fingerboard, all carved wood, bolt on neck, and a superb sound, this thing is also sumpremely easy to play. You have rarely felt such a joy in your hands.
So wait not. This baby is sure to fly the coup soon. Hopefully it flies to your place. Comes with a very nice hardshell case.
