Just in to the shop on consignment, this recent 5-Bar Artist Model, with a one-piece back and the optional, 1 3/16" nut width! Developed in conjunction with the great Mike Marshall, the Northfield Artist mandolins are produced in limited numbers and feature unique bracing patterns to maximize the sonic potential of each given set of wood. This particular instrument is a 5-bar mandolin, voiced for a complex series of harmonics, maximum low-end responsiveness and omnidirectional projection. It's topped with a premium Italian spruce top for maximum volume and headroom, and features a lovely, one-piece back. Priced with non-original TKL hardshell case.
