Collings Guitars is one of the most highly regarded brands in the world. Their meticulous attention to detail, precise craftsmanship, and innovative manufacturing process result in a guitar that, while maintaining a traditional look, delivers a sound that will impress even the most discerning guitar enthusiasts. This particular instrument is a pristine used Style-F MF5 from 2012. It features a hand-carved, tightly grained Adirondack spruce top, a beautifully figured maple back and sides made from two pieces, a V-shaped one-piece maple neck, a slightly radius ebony fingerboard with medium-sized frets, an ebony adjustable bridge, pearl dot fingerboard inlays, Golden Age tuners, a Collings original nickel tailpiece, and a gloss lacquer finish. The headstock is adorned with a mother-of-pearl Collings logo and flourish inlays. The Tangerine Sunburst color is stunning, and the binding on the body, fingerboard, and headstock is a matching tortoiseshell pattern. Collings is known for its accurate pitch, beautiful, piano-like chime tone that remains consistent even in the high positions, and consistently high woodworking precision. This instrument is in near-mint condition, with only slight tarnishing on the hardware and faint, barely visible scratches when held up to the light. The frets show no wear, the neck is in excellent condition, and it's incredibly playable. The sound is refined yet robust and full-bodied. Each note rises clearly and distinctly, with a well-defined resonance, rich volume, and a highly expressive, emotionally responsive tone that responds precisely to delicate touches. This is a must-try for anyone seeking a high-end mandolin other than Gibson. Original hardshell case included.
