This post is mainly just to give some love to Northfield’s 4th Gens. Ordered one last March and I received 4th gen #34 in the mail a few days ago and man I’m just blown away by this thing.
I had previously owned an F5S for a year and honestly wasn’t sure how the 4th gen could sound *that* much better. I might be a moron for wondering that but had never played a top of the line mandolin or even seen one up close in person before for that matter. And really, my F5S sounded awesome. It was a fantastic mandolin so I just didn’t really know. But oh my goodness the thing that I noticed from the first pick and strum on my 4th gen was just how darn loud it is. The power in it just completely blew me away. And the tone is just great. So woody and so pure already only being played for a few days. And wow is it a looker. It’s got a one piece back that’s just incredible. I’ll post a few pics below.
Any other 4th gen owners out there that are in awe of their mandolin as much as I am?
