About This Collings Mandolin
Collings MF5 Mandolin (2004) #280 Bill Collings Signed
This mandolin is in excellent condition. There is light handling wear with no dings or eyesores to report. The only repair is the back seam near the end was sealed up — See pic of reflection in light. There is light fret wear. The frets have not been leveled and filed so there is plenty of life left.
