While the MT is Collings' most affordable and simply appointed A-style mandolin, its contruction quality and playability are the equal of any mandolin they offer. The Collings MT mandolin is their entry-level satin finish A-model with simplified appointments. But don't let the "entry-level" part fool you- its built with the same quality construction as our higher end models. With a fully carved Englemann spruce top and maple back and sides, the MT is undoubtedly one of the best values out there in a professional quality A-style mandolin.
