Collings MT Mandolin

Featuring a premium carved Engelmann spruce top and seasoned figured maple back and sides, the handcrafted MT offers professional level tone and playability in a simple and understated appointment package. An ultra-thin, all-nitrocellulose lacquer finish and individually-graduated tonewoods provide ringing sustain, a wide dynamic range, and impressive responsiveness that can rival instruments at considerably higher price points. The MT is also available with a number of customization options, including ivoroid top binding (as shown), gloss top and peghead, and a floating pickguard, as well as several color variations to suit your individual taste.
