Product information

The Collings MF5 Deluxe Varnish represents the pinnacle of Collings mandolin craftsmanship.

Collings' flagship mandolin, the MF5 Deluxe Varnish is a fully appointed F5 with a powerful, clear voice, both woody and complex. It is equally well-suited for bluegrass, American roots genres, and both ensemble and solo performance. Witha its quilted maple back, engraved Collings tailpiece, and Torch & Wire headstock inlay, it makes for a sublime instrument whose visual appeal is matched by its tone.

We sold this instrument new back in 2018 and are happy to be able to offer it again, now as a wonderful preowned example of Collings' finest work.
