Anyone here own a Breedlove Crossover OF F hole mandolin? If so, how do you like it, as in tone and playability? Thanks, Danny Gray

(raises hand) I do. I love it it's my go-to mandolin.

I had the F style and liked it. For the same price I preferred the Eastman 315 for tone and looks, but the Breedlove had nicer ergonomics for my hand (wider nut and more comfortable neck shape). I donated both to charity (kids music program) when I upgraded. Now that I think about it, I put an Allen tailpiece on the Eastman because it sounted too hollow and tinny at first. The tailpiece made it much better IMHO. Or maybe I just convinced myself of that because I spent $70 on it :)
