The MT is the most basic Collings mandolin when it comes to appointments, but don't let that fool you. It is built with the same quality construction as the higher end models. With a fully carved spruce top and maple back and sides, the MT is undoubtedly one of the best values out there in a professional quality A-style mandolin or mandola. This mandola is in great condition with only some light scratches on the back to note. It plays great, sounds incredible, and is already outfitted with a pickup, making it perfect for the gigging musician looking to add a mandola to their stable.l Includes its original hardshell case.
