{"product_id":"collings-mf5","title":"Collings MF5","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MF5 is Collings' F-style mandolin with the full set of appointments in lacquer. A carved Adirondack spruce top with f-holes and tone-bar bracing sits over Eastern flamed maple back, sides and neck, and high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer covers the body and neck. Ivoroid binding with black and white side purfling runs around the top, back, fingerboard and peghead, and the ebony peghead veneer carries the Collings logo and Flourish inlay in mother-of-pearl. The Gotoh tuners wear ivoroid buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the MF is satin throughout and the MF Deluxe adds gloss to the top and peghead, the MF5 is gloss all over with binding on the body, board and peghead. Collings voices its f-hole mandolins for cut and chop. For the oval-hole version, look at the MF5 O, and for this build in oil-based varnish with a bound ebony pickguard, the MF5 V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptions on tops, finishes, trim and inlays can be added, 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 side purfling\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: None\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: High gloss 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: Ivoroid with b\/w 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 flourish\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Binding: Ivoroid with b\/w side purfling\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\/ ivoroid 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":47921406148692,"sku":"COL-MF5","price":16312.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/collings-mf5-front_sq.jpg?v=1792599852","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/collings-mf5","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
