{"product_id":"collings-mf","title":"Collings MF","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MF is Collings' F-style mandolin in satin nitrocellulose lacquer throughout, with a fully carved Adirondack spruce top over Eastern flamed maple back, sides and neck. Collings builds it the same way as its more appointed F-models: tone bar bracing, a dovetail neck joint, an ebony bridge with adjustable saddle and the Collings original tailpiece. Tortoise binds the top, and the ebony board carries mother-of-pearl dots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck has a rounded V profile with a 1 1\/8\" nut and a compound radius that runs from 5 1\/2\" to 11 5\/8\", on a 13 7\/8\" scale. Collings describes the sound as rich and woody, and with f-holes it has the cut and chop that Collings sets against its warmer oval-hole models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MF Deluxe adds a gloss top and ivoroid binding, and the MF5 is the full-gloss, fully bound F-model. For an oval soundhole on this mandolin, see the MF O. Collings offers options for tops, finishes, trim and inlays on the MF, and they are listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photo shows one example build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptions for this model include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItalian spruce top, or torrefied Adirondack spruce on the MT2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack or cream top finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 3\/16\" nut width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIvoroid binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard, bound or unbound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaverly tuner upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-handed build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice subject to change based on options chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA (built in Austin, Texas)\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: F-style\u003cbr\u003eTop: Adirondack spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Sides\/Neck: Eastern flamed maple\u003cbr\u003eBracing: Tone bars\u003cbr\u003eSoundhole: F-holes\u003cbr\u003eBody Binding: Tortoise (top)\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: None\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Satin nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: Rounded V\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joint: Dovetail\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 13 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Ebony w\/ MOP dots\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 5 1\/2\" - 11 5\/8\" compound\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding: None\u003cbr\u003eFrets: Medium 18% nickel-silver\u003cbr\u003eNut: 1 1\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eString Spacing: 1 9\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Fully Adjustable\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Veneer: Ebony w\/ MOP Collings logo\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Binding: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Ebony w\/ Adjustable Saddle\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Collings original tailpiece\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Nickel Gotoh w\/ black buttons\u003cbr\u003eStrings: D'Addario EJ74 (.011\" - .040\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Width: 9 15\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eBody Length: 12 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eBody Depth: 1 13\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 27 7\/16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: Deluxe hardshell case\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Collings","offers":[{"title":"Sunburst","offer_id":47921405231188,"sku":"COL-MF","price":9765.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/collings-mf-front_sq.jpg?v=1792599820","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/collings-mf","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
