Regular price $3,599 (SOLD)
Stunning Northfield A5 Special mandolin with Italian spruce top and flame maple back and sides.
This A5 mandolin features Northfield's unique "Leather Burst" stain. It offers a deep, rich look without covering up the character of the wood.
This is a loud mandolin with great "cut" and projection. The Italian top seems to strike a nice balance between the punchiness of Adirondack and the warmth of Engelmann.
Includes gray Airloom Recurve hard case.
Mandolin pictured is the actual instrument for sale.
