Breedlove "Olympic" Mandolin

 

I sold the A snakehead through Elderly for $2200. in '98.... I got change and this new Breedlove

This has a slightly thicker neck than most new mandolins.

It's a beautiful cordovan burst. With a nice woody sound!

The orig. tailpiece failed (literally)

so it was sent back to Breedlove for repair under warranty.

They put a solid cast, and better, and heavier tailpiece,

and it seems noticably louder.

Bob Smakula set it up after plugging the endpin jack hole

and installing an endpin.

I sold it summer 2006. Nice mandolin...

but I wanted an f-style oval hole...
