Re: Considering a breedlove crossover fflaminated dies and csck
FWIW, i just took receipt of a new crossover FF natural that i got for less than $500/shipped. yep, it's all solid wood. out of the box it plays well. however, for me, it does require a setup tweaking for a more lowered action, and better strings - and i'll perform a full fret level and crown to boot. the fret wire mics @ .076" wide. as is, it sounds ... BIG. very full and rich mid-range overall, far more reminiscent of a "A" than an "F". the bass isn't overly boomy, which is a plus for me. the treble end is sweet and clear. the neck back shape is a full, soft "U" and feels quite good (some were saying it's a "C" shape - NOT). very pleased with this purchase.
Mandolins are truly *magic*!
