Northfield F5S Amber

A brand new Northfield F5S just in from our friends at the Northfield workshop. This is the model that started the legacy of Northfield mandolins and remains their best selling model, and for very good reason. There simply is not a better F5 mandolin, pound for pound, at this price point anywhere. This mandolin confidently crosses the threshold of what separates the finer mandolins from lesser offerings.

The tone is powerful and responsive with a beautiful mixture of depth and complexity balanced out by a wonderful woody, organic quality. Silky smooth playability and balanced in every register, this instrument legitimately rivals those costing more than double its price. On top of the beautiful sonic qualities, the craftsmanship and materials used are top tier and the fit and finish work is of higher quality than many of the celebrated mandolin brands. 

Adirondack spruce top, highly flamed maple back/sides/neck, amber finish, tortoise binding, ebony radiused fretboard, ebony adjustable bridge, bound tortoise pick guard, Gotoh tuners, adjustable truss rod, 1-1/8" nut width. Comes with a very nice Airloom Recurve case from Northfield.
