Overview

A mandolin that guitarists can easily play that still creates traditional mandolin sounds.

When Kim Breedlove began playing the mandolin, he could not help but ponder innovative designs for maximizing the tonal balance and unique mandolin sound and making it easier for a guitarist to play. The result is the collection of Breedlove Crossover Mandolins. Crafted from all solid woods: Sitka spruce tops and maple backs. The wider nut width (1-3/16”) and radius fretboard facilitate players moving back-and-forth among instruments. Breedlove are pleased to now offer the full complement of "O", “K” and “F” body shapes in both “O” and “F” sound holes. Kim Breedlove’s “F” body brings the full volume and dynamic tone you expect from a Breedlove mandolin, while their “O” bodies create that direct response and articulation from a smaller body. For summer 2016, Breedlove are now able to offer the extremely balanced “K” body shape which allows the player access to those attributes that make their “O” and “F” body mandolins so popular.
