{"product_id":"collings-mf5-deluxe-v","title":"Collings MF5 Deluxe V","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MF5 Deluxe V is the mandolin Collings calls its flagship. It starts from the MF5's carved Adirondack spruce top, Eastern flamed maple back, sides and neck, and f-holes, then layers black and white purflings into the ivoroid binding on the body, fingerboard and peghead. A deluxe etched Flourish inlay sits on the ebony peghead veneer, and the Collings tailpiece carries custom hand engraving. Nickel Waverly tuners with pearl buttons and an ivoroid-bound ebony pickguard complete the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is a high gloss alkyd resin varnish. Collings says its varnish goes on ultra-thin so the woods can resonate and respond as freely as possible, and it saves its most closely chosen tonewoods for this model. For the same varnish with the standard MF5 appointments, Gotoh tuners and an engraved-border tailpiece, look at the MF5 V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollings options for tops, trim, inlays and more can be specified, and the list follows 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\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: Ivoroid with b\/w top and side purfling\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Ebony w\/ ivoroid binding\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: High gloss alkyd resin varnish\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: Ivoroid with b\/w top and side purfling\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 and deluxe flourish\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Binding: Ivoroid with b\/w top and side purfling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Ebony w\/ Adjustable Saddle\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Collings original tailpiece w\/ custom hand engraving\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Nickel Waverly w\/ pearl 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":47921406214228,"sku":"COL-MF5-DELUXE-V","price":25200.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/collings-mf5-deluxe-v-front_sq.jpg?v=1792599862","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/collings-mf5-deluxe-v","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
