Fine sounding mandolin featuring the deep, woody, modern Collings sound with plus volume and sustain. Sweet highs. Strong chop. Will not disappoint.
Excellent to Excellent-plus condition. Has a ding on top, a few superficial finish scratches on the back and a series of blemishes of some sort on the back of the neck, which can be barely felt. Has noticeable fretwear. Probably will need a dressing in the next year or two.
Offered with original Collings case. Trades gladly considered on this fine American made instrument.
