Northfield NF F5S Mandolin

Comments

We recently received a Northfield NF F5S Mandolin! We’ve had a very few Northfields basically as demo instruments, and they were very well received.

This outstanding mandolin features an adirondack red spruce top, flame maple back and sides, maple neck and ebony fingerboard. As a cool detail, the very end of the fingerboard tag is shaved down to the level of the pickguard, and inlaid with contrasting strips to look fretted. This maintains a key part of the F-style aesthetic, while clearing the way for more vigorous picking.
