This 2008 MF5V is a fantastic example of Collings' stately F5 model, in the less common, but equally stunning Honey Amber finish!

What To Know

We've played a lot of Collings mandolins here at the shop, and these varnish-finished MF5's never cease to impress! With a nuanced, dry complexity, lively response, and excellent balance across the strings, this 2008 build is truly rewarding to play. And with a one-piece back, upgraded Waverly tuners and gorgeous honey amber finish, we think it looks pretty good too!

Condition: this mandolin is in very good condition, with clean frets and only minor signs of handling throughout, save for one small ding in the top near the treble-side F-hole. Priced with original Collings-branded TKL hardshell case. On consignment.

Please note: used instruments are, well, used. We pride ourselves on thoroughly vetting, and carefully photographing, each pre-owned instrument we sell, but many of them carry subtle signs of handling that can escape even the most discerning eye. If you have questions about the condition of this instrument, we invite you to call us for an in-hand description. We're here to help!
