Pre-owned Northfield Artist Series "4th Generation" F5 just in on trade! Please look at our photos carefully: this instrument has been played, and shows pick wear across its surfaces. If you're looking for minty clean, this likely isn't the mandolin for you. But if you're looking for a broken-in version of Northfield's best Loar-style bluegrass mandolin, you've hit pay dirt! The sound of this instrument is bold and wide open, with a great mix of woodiness and clarity. It'd be a powerful rhythmic backbone in any stringband, with more than enough horsepower to cut through the mix when it's tremolo time as well. Priced with its original Airloom molded hardshell case.
