From Northfield: "
Our S Series mandolins aim to be an elegantly understated version of our master model instruments, serving up our signature tone, projection, and construction in an abbreviated form. Each mandolin is made from select tonewoods and built using the same team and approach. The lacquer finish on these instruments is designed to be more durable than a delicate spirit varnish while remaining thin enough to avoid restricting vibration or dampening the instrument’s response. If you've been looking for one of our instruments in a more direct, readily available version without the need for custom options, the S Series may be a good fit.
NFS-F5: F holes, Tonebar braced, Bound top, Sunburst, blonde or blacktop."
