Collings MF Honey Amber Gloss Top with Tortoise Binding
Hand-crafted in Austin, TX, Collings mandolins are built with finest seasoned spruce and eastern maple. With equal emphasis placed on tone, fit and finish, and playability, they strive to create a new benchmark of quality in mandolins.
This MF is a world class mandolin that featuring a custom Honey Amber gloss top . With a fully carved Adirondack spruce top and maple back and sides, the MF is built with the same quality construction as Collings fully-appointed models.
The custom gloss top on this custom Collings MF produces a tone we've come to expect out of Collings Mandolins... it is rich, thick and meaty with lots of punch and a great chop. The satin finish on the back and sides not only looks incredible but produces a tone that is wide open, and woody that really compliments the tone that the gloss top produces. Playability on Collings' mandolins are hard to beat, and this one plays like a dream with low action and surprising responsiveness.
The custom Tortoise binding on the body makes for a very classy look, complimenting the custom gloss Honey Amber top perfectly. The Adirondack Spruce top is especially nice on this instrument, with large grain and a wide open sound.
