Details
The MT is the best-selling mandolin model Collings makes and they offer a number of options that take it up a notch or two without making their basic A model too expensive. This example from 2013 is in excellent structural and cosmetic condition and has been upgraded with a gloss top finish and Ivoroid binding. It also has a slightly wider 1 3/16” nut width, which makes it a little easier to play for many players. Like all Collings instruments, this MT is impeccably crafted. The top is Engelmann spruce and the back and sides are Eastern maple that feature some nice figure. The finish is in excellent condition throughout with almost no signs of wear, the only exception is a few very shallow dings to the spine of the V-shaped neck barrel behind the lower frets (difficult to see, but can be felt if you try). This is a great sounding mandolin with a bright, clear tone and lots of volume. Includes a hardshell case, which is in equally clean condition.
