MORE →The Breedlove Quartz OF is an A-Style mandolin, the ‘O’ indicating an Oval body and the F, F Holes. Like other Breedlove mandolins, it has been out of production since 2016. ‘Quartz’ is the term Breedlove assigned to their entry-level US built mandolins. That name is possibly a reference to a mountain not far from the Breedlove shop, then located in Tumalo, Oregon.
