This Northfield Artist Series mandolin is made from a carved Adirondack spruce top, a varnish finish and Northfields’s 2-bar bracing system, a classic configuration that produces a strong fundamental with a focused, sparkling upper register. The Artist Series mandolins were developed with extensive input from Mike Marshall. The finish is spirit varnish which is softer and more flexible than nitrocellulose lacquer. Playability is enhanced with a fully radiused fretboard. This one is in excellent condition with minimal play wear. Comes with OHC
