Collings MT2 Birdseye Maple/ Italian Spruce Honey Amber 2018 - Full high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish

Lightly loved, single owner mandolin purchased from Music Emporium in 2019. Only selling to purchase a Collings electric if that tells you anything about the brand loyalty. Vintage-style hard case from Collings is included, along with a dampit mandolin humidifier and a leather mandolin strap. Lowball offers will be ignored.

DESCRIPTION

Very rare Collings MT2 mandolin in Birdseye Maple/ Italian Spruce and the sought-after Honey Amber finish! The stunning looks and craftsmanship are perfectly complimented by its round, bell-like tone - and these Italian-topped mandolins seem to offer the clarity and definition of an instrument with an Adirondack top without any of the new-instrument harshness.
