What To Know

This 2014 MF5 V is a fantastic sounding example of Collings' varnish-finished F5. With a woody, open voice and chimey top end, this model has all the punch and complexity we love from Collings, with the additional responsiveness and warmth of a varnish finish and a few years of play under its belt. This particular instrument has a lovely, one-piece back, flourish headstock inlay, and bound ebony pickguard.

Well cared for by its previous owner, this mandolin remains in very good condition. The finish displays only the usual signs of handling, including a small handful of minor dings on the top of the headstock. Frets show little-to-no wear and playability is excellent after a fresh setup. Priced with Collings-branded TKL hardshell case.

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!
