The bolt on neck also enables the instrument to be easily maintained and adjusted for many years of enjoyment. Breedlove mandolins also have a radius fretboard and a slightly wider nut than other mandolins resulting in the most comfortable mandolin you have ever played. This mandolin is Breedloves own "K" shape design which uses a hollow extension on the bass side increasing the tonal range of the instrument by adding more airspace inside. The Mandolin Twin Internal is a fully internal pickup system. Both the tranducers and the endpin-jack are mounted inside the mandolin. The transducers are attached with double-sided adhesive tape, providing a robust installation with minimum sound interference. Installation of this system should be done by an experienced luthier or mandolin tech.
