Collings MF5 Varnish 2012, Sunburst

The Collings MF5 V features the same construction and appointments as the standard MF5, but includes an oil-based varnish finish. This offers improved and refined acoustic tone, perfect for a high quality bluegrass instrument. An ivoroid bound ebony pickguard and impressive headstock inlay pop on this mandolin's a beautifully understated design. We sold this mandolin a while ago to a good customer.  Unfortunately, it got dropped, causing a long crack which was then repaired by someone who used epoxy.  We're selling it "as is" though it needs nothing but to be played. It's got upgraded tuners (Waverlys) and the James tailpiece.  it's ready to be somone's player mandolin. Non-original Cedar Creek F-style case.
