Pre Owned 2009 Collings MT Mandolin Engelmann Spruce and Maple A Style ID-8707

Pre Owned 2009 Collings MT Mandolin Engelmann Spruce and Maple A Style

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 achieve a new benchmark of quality in mandolins. The Collings MT is their entry-level satin finish A-model with simplified appointments. But don't let the "entry-level" part fool you- its built with the same quality construction as our higher end models. With a fully carved Englemann spruce top and maple back and sides, the MT is undoubtedly one of the best values out there in a professional quality A-style mandolin.

This 2009 Collings MT is in excellent condition with a few small dents and scratches which we have attempted to capture in the detailed photos below. It has very minor fretwear and includes the original hardshell case.

Collings makes instruments with such superb tone and aesthetics. The craftmanship is top notch and comes out in the tone, playability, and feel of their great instrument. This mandolin is truly a great one to add to any players collection.
