It'd be fair to call the Birdseye Maple and Italian Spruce tonewood pairing our favorite on a Collings mandolin: no matter what the model, it always seems to amp up the power and projection while retaining an underlying sweetness of tone and round, poppy note attack. Underneath a varnish finish, this makes for a mandolin that's all the more responsive and dynamic, spanning the gamut from classical music to hard driving bluegrass with ease. This sensational mandolin is priced with a Calton hardshell case.
Condition: Brand New. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
