Collings MT2 Mandolin Custom Black Top with Sunburst Back and Sides
Hand-crafted in Austin, TX, Collings mandolins are built with finest seasoned spruce and premium maple. With equal emphasis placed on tone, "fit and finish" and playability, they achieve a new benchmark of quality in mandolins.
The Collings MT2 Mandolin is an upgraded A-model with elegant appointments. The top is a wonderful fully carved Adirondack spruce with an optional Black Gloss top finish complimented by flamed maple back and sides in a high gloss nitrocellulose Tobacco Sunburst finish. This MT2 Custom was ordered with the optional Wide 1-3/16" nut, preferred by some guitarists who also double on mandolin.
Adirondack Spruce is highly responsive without requiring a heavy pick attack. This tone wood is known for warm, lush, thick sounds with a smooth high end and punchy mid-range. It doesn't need to be played hard to sound great, although it handles heavy playing quite well too.
To complete the package, this custom MT2 also features standard Grained Ivoroid body / fingerboard / peghead bindings, and Nickel tuners with Ivoroid buttons. The complete esthetic makes for a very classic look, complimenting the Black gloss top finish perfectly. These additional features really make this Custom MT2 stand out, with a very classy and traditional appearance.
