{"product_id":"collings-mt2-mandolin","title":"Collings MT2 Mandolin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Collings MT2 Mandolin is nearly the top of the heap for A-Style mandolins. Featuring a carved Red Spruce top and premium grade maple for the sides, carved back, sides and neck with ebony for the fingerboard, headplate and bridge, and rounded off with faux tortoise binding. The Collings MT2 mandolin is an extremely attractive, exceptionally good sounding, and great playing instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mandolin is finished with a high gloss, very well done sunburst. With care, a sunburst almost takes on a life of its own, with many visual subtleties accenting the different refractive effects from the wood grain underneath. But to get to this, everything that’s under the finish has to be done at least as well – it has to look that good before any finish goes on. There is no sense that the sunburst is hiding anything (which was, one of the reasons that sunburst finishes were introduced to guitars).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, the tone is all here; though this is a brand new instrument, just arrived and not nearly played in, it’s got a rich, brilliant tone without any sense of brittleness or harshness. The factory setup is just as well done, and many players will find this mandolin ready to go with little or no adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect Adirondack spruce top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium figured maple back, sides and neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallel tone bar bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF-soundholes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrained ivoroid top\/back\/neck \u0026amp; peghead binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack\/white purflings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBound “Haircut” headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 Degree headstock angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony peghead overlay w\/Collings logo and flourish inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMortise and tenon neck joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22-frets, neck joins the body at the 15th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV shaped neck profile with 1 9\/16″ string spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 1\/2″-11 5\/8″ Compound fingerboard radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 1\/8″ Bone nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 7\/8″ Scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium 18% nickel-silver fretwire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother of pearl dot fingerboard inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully adjustable truss rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom adjustable floating ebony bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollings original one-piece nickel or gold tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel or gold tuners with black or pearl buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Recommended string gauge – D’Addario J-74 (.011″-.040″)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollings deluxe hardshell case by TKL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839083209023,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G56574546","price":3647.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/CollingsMT2Mandolin-1-TheTwelfthFret.jpg?v=1782095019","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/collings-mt2-mandolin","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
