I saw Rascal Flatts on the Today Show and they had a mandolinist with them. Pretty sure he's not one of the primary players but not sure. Noticed he was playing a Breedlove F and I swear it looked like a whiteface. Anyone know if Breedlove did a custom shop type finish for him or maybe he had a luthier refinish? I don't believe Breedlove ever had a whiteface as an option.

Seemed to me that the sides were white as well; all pretty shiny. Thus, probably the back. Guessing that it was some customization.

I'm a big Breedlove fan and I've never seen a whiteface, either. For someone who plays with Rascal Flatts, Breedlove might well have customized one. Equally plausible is an after-market customization.

Breedlove had a custom shop. Breedlove signed them himself.
I've seen one of these. A KO body style. It was a beautiful instrument.
And it rang like a bell. I believe Tim Connell's Breedlove is also one of these.
