Collings MF Deluxe
This is a top of the line mando and sounds that way. This particular one has several upgrades: ebony top and Merlot back. k&k pickup. It also had Rubner Tuners installed. Comes with OHSC.
Our shop currently has other end Collings, a Gibsons, Weber. And this is the ONE. It’s worth the money.
Overall this is in excellent condition. There is minimal finish wear in the back, pictured, and a few pin head compression marks. The frets have about 90% of theirs life left and have been recently dressed.
We took this in on consignment and got it singing. Recent work in our shop: new strings, new setup, intonation, oiled fretboard, dressed frets, cleaning and polishing. This thing is amazing! Check back for vidoes!
