2018 Collings MF

2018 Collings MF in good condition. This one has been played a lot and shows significant player wear, most notably on the top of the treble side with heavy pick and finger rest rash, particularly around the sound hole. This is all aesthetic wear and the mandolin is crack free, 100% structurally sound, and without issues.

This is a beautiful sounding F5 that has Collings' signature tone. Very loud and powerful with enough cutting power to easily stand out in any ensemble of instruments. Likely from being played constantly, this mandolin has developed a lovely mellow/woody undertone that beautifully contrasts the brilliant high end. Perfect balance from low to high and up and down the fretboard. The mandolin is set up to Collings factory specifications and plays wonderfully in all positions. 

Adirondack spruce top, Red maple back/sides/neck, nitrocellulose lacquer finish, ebony fretboard with descending pearl dot position markers, full contact ebony adjustable bridge, grained ivoroid top binding, Gotoh tuners with pearl buttons, one piece cast tailpiece, radiused fretboard, 1-1/8" bone nut. Comes with its original hardshell case.
