{"product_id":"collings-mt","title":"Collings MT","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MT is Collings' A-style mandolin in satin: a carved Engelmann spruce top with f-holes and tone bars, Eastern flamed maple back, sides and neck, and satin nitrocellulose lacquer throughout. Collings graduates each set of woods individually and keeps the appointments simple, with tortoise binding on the top, an ebony board with mother-of-pearl dots and nickel Gotoh tuners with black buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollings credits the thin lacquer and graduated woods with long sustain, a wide dynamic range and quick response. For the same A-style body with an Adirondack top, full gloss and ivoroid binding on the back and fingerboard, look at the MT2. The MT O is this mandolin with an oval hole, which Collings voices warmer and more open, where the MT has more cut and chop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollings can add options such as ivoroid top binding, a gloss top and peghead, a floating pickguard and other colours, 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\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: A-style\u003cbr\u003eTop: Engelmann 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: 26 3\/8\"\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":47921406476372,"sku":"COL-MT","price":6090.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/collings-mt-front_sq.jpg?v=1792599894","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/collings-mt","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
