This is a great thread! I'll chime in as another NF-5S owner. Ever since I first heard about Northfield, the finish on all their instruments immediately drew me in. The first ding bothered me but after the second or third, I didn't care anymore. At this point its covered in battle scars (cosmetic only) and it looks awesome. Almost like an old Gibson thats seen some action, and I think part of that cool look is due to the finish. It is a thin finish, but very nice feeling. I wouldn't have it any other way; in terms of both sound and looks.
