Northfield S Series NFS-F5WN Wide Nut Mandolin – New

The “WN” at the end of the model code stands for “Wide Neck,” so if you find your fingers a bit cramped on a typical 1 1/8″ mandolin neck this Northfield may win over your left hand very quickly. The surprising thing is that for most of us these WN Northfield necks don’t feel wide at all when you’re playing, you just have a bit more room and fewer muffed notes. With its Adirondack top this NFS delivers a lot of tone and volume for the price. If you’re more into sound and playability, and less concerned about binding and inlay, it’s a wise choice.
