Northfield NFS-F5WN Amber

Description

If you're a serious mandolinist looking for a next-step instrument, few options will suit you like a Northfield. The company's NFS-F5, while one of their more basic F-style options, is still a high-end bluegrass machine with all the percussive chop and the crystal-clear response that pickers go looking for. We opted for a wide, one-and-three-sixteenths nut on this one for a little extra space to maneuver, bolstering the already luxurious feel of the neck to something even more ideal for players with large hands and fingers. Additionally, we chose an understated amber finish for an old school look that places the emphasis on your music, rather than a flashy paint job. Included in the price is an Airloom Recurve hard-shell case.
