The Breedlove Quartz OO is a fantastic, USA-made instrument at a price accessible to beginners but with a build quality that would serve even experienced players well. It features an A style body with oval soundhole, solid Sitka spruce top, solid maple back & sides, one-piece maple neck with radiused ebony fingerboard, adjustable ebony bridge, and a black anodized one-piece tailpiece. Cosmetically the mandolin is very clean with little in the way of fret wear. Comes in the original hardshell case.
