This beautiful MF5 was built as a showpiece for the 2025 NAMM show.

This gorgeous Collings MF5 was built as a showpiece for the 2025 NAMM show. It's elevated by a unique set of Maple that Collings has termed "bubble maple" in reference to its unique figuring. We are thrilled to be able to present this limited version of a perennial favorite model.

The sound of this MF5 is powerfully clear and really rings out. It cuts beautifully when paired with other instruments, and the detailed expressive sound works brilliantly for solo mandolin as well. As great as it is already, it's easy to hear how this mandolin will beautifully break in over years of playing.

Brand Story

"Every day we try to make a better guitar, every day. You're trying to reach for more, trying to do better, not trying to do the same. A lot of companies are trying to do the same, and that's okay - that's their deal. We're trying to stretch that. Our goal is a little more."
