Collings MF Mandolin Gloss Top Sunburst w/Case F2396

Serial: F2396

The Collings MF is a professional-grade F-style mandolin built with a focus on clarity, projection, and responsiveness. This gloss top Sunburst example pairs a carved Adirondack spruce top with figured maple back and sides, delivering strong chop, quick note attack, and excellent headroom. It’s a highly dynamic instrument that cuts cleanly in a mix while still offering enough warmth and sustain for melodic playing. Built with Collings’ signature precision and consistency, this is a mandolin that performs equally well on stage, in the studio, or in a jam setting.
