Breedlove

The teardrop shape of the American OF Mandolin offers much more than you would expect from its simple design.  The O style creates a boomy, deep range that speaks with clarity and authority in any playing situation you find yourself in. Composed of Sitka Spruce for the top and Western Maple for the 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 to the hand.  The Breedlove List Price is $1639

This is a twelve-fret to the body, slotted headstock guitar that has some traditional and some modern features.  The traditional include what many call African Mahogany sides and back, more properly known as Sapele (with the accent on the middle syllable, it is like the great Brazilian soccer player, Pele, but with the syllable “Sah” in front).  The top is hand-selected Sitka spruce that is completely “clear” – meaning no visual aberrations.  It is close-grained and displays a great deal of cross silking as the finest Sitka does.  NOW ON SALE!  OUR PRICE WAS $1747BUT NOW ON SALE FOR:

This truly magnificent and outstanding sounding guitar is made from glorious striped ebony on the back and sides, has bloodwood bindings on top, back and fingerboard; the fingerboard is inlaid with the Art Deco dotmarker pattern. It has what appears to be a high quality Sitka spruce top, that has (unlike ourselves) turned a deep orange and an abalone inlaid soundhole rosette.  NOW ON SALE!  THIS WAS $3088 BUT NOW: 

The Breedlove List Price is $2299.

This guitar shows a few dings here and there, an inexplicable series of dots under the finish at the center bottom of the back, perhaps from contact with a strap or some other device; some nicks and indents (bite marks?) on the headplate. OUR PRICE WAS $2366 BUT NOW REDUCED TO: 

This is a fairly fancy variation based on a theme of the snakehead type A-style mandolin that’s dressed up, made up, and ready for professional use. The Alpine has an abalone “flying B”-for-Breedlove peghead logo, a colorful abalone flower inlaid there under in a black overlay bordered in crème ivoroid with a black underlay.
