Collings MT blonde~A blonde fron Bill and the crew at Collings. I'm not generally a fan of all natural mandolins but I saw a few photos of blonde MTs and thought they looked fantastic and it would also be a good excuse to keep two MTs in stock. This beauty has lived up to expectations with the usual immaculate Collings finishing and the MT tone, incredibile balance an definition, deep, well deifined bass, solid, punchy mids and clear, precise trebles. With hardshel case.~A blonde fron Bill and the crew at Collings.

Collings MT~This is the same as the MT2 but with a matte varnish finish and one or two other cosmetic differences, great sound, same fantastic build quality and lots less money.

Collings MF5 - SOLD~A masterpiece of craftmanship, Collings F5 features seasoned select spruce top, stunning highly flamed maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard with 22 frets to the scalloped fingerboard extension, ebony bridge, high gloss laquer finish and machined (in the Collings workshop) solid brass tailpiece. It is not only a masterpiece in craftsmanship and finishing but the sound has to heard to be believed. It is LOUD (ba*j* players watch out), its got depth, breadth, balance, poise, there really aren't enough superlatives to describe it. Its a bluegrass players dream (it just might please a few non bluegrass officianados too), it barks, chops and sings. Oh heck, if I could describe it adeqautely I'd be hoping for a Booker prize.~A masterpiece of craftmanship, Collings F5 features seasoned select spruce top, stunning highly flamed maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard with 22 frets to the scalloped fingerboard extension, ebony bridge, high gloss laquer finish and machined (in the Collings workshop) solid brass tailpiece.

Collings MF~The MF is almost the same spec as the MF5 but with matte finish and single bound tortoise top. It sounds a great as the MF5, Matte is not to everybodies taste but I think it looks great, this one has a very nicely flamed back.~The MF is almost the same spec as the MF5 but with matte finish and single bound tortoise top.
