Collings MF Mandolin Sunburst w/case F2347
Collings MF Mandolin Sunburst w/case F2347
The MF is our satin finish F-model with simplified appointments. Featuring a fully-carved Adirondack spruce top and maple back and sides, the MF is built with the same quality construction as our fully-appointed models. These instruments produce the rich, woody tone that one would expect from a professional quality mandolin at a lower price point.
MF vs MF Deluxe vs MF5
While all three models share the same body shapes and dimensions, the MF is a fully-satin lacquer finish mandolin with simple appointments. The MF Deluxe adds a glossy lacquer finish on the top and peghead veneer (satin back/sides/neck), ivoroid binding on the fingerboard and peghead, and an ivoroid-bound ebony pickguard. The MF5 is a highly-appointed F-model, featuring an all-gloss lacquer finish on the body and neck, ivoroid binding on the top, back, fingerboard, and peghead, and our Flourish peghead inlay.
