Northfield Artist F52A

The Artist series from Northfield has been revised and refined based on twenty years of experience building premium mandolins. The fit and finish are equal to any mandolin you'll find on the market today and at a fraction of the price. This version, referred to as Variation 2, employs a 2 Tone-bar bracing configuration which emphasizes a strong fundamental note tonality, focused projection and a cutting high-end power. If the legendary tone of Loar-era mandolins, which define the Bluegrass sound, are what you're after, this is the instrument for you.
