The Collings MF is a visually simplified yet extremely high quality instrument, based on the classic F style carved top and back mandolins from the early years of the Twentieth Century. Building in Austin, Texas, Collings produces very well built guitars and mandolins, and their nitrocellulose lacquer finish quality is second to none.

Combining classic D body construction and ’42’ style trim, this 2007 Collings D-42A dreadnought pairs Adirondack Spruce with Indian Rosewood. This sonic cannon delivers much more than good looks and top quality construction. Now out of production, the Collings D-42A sat at the top of Collings’ ‘Traditional’ line.
This beautiful Collings CL Custom, a City Limits model, was built during 2017 and sports an aged Brock Burst finish and a pair of ThroBak ERMXV pickups. The Collings CL Custom is based on the classic single-cut, Mahogany and Maple solidbody design that’s proven itself since 1952.

MORE →The Collings CL Jazz is a rare thing of beauty, functional art manifesting as a thinline hollowbody carved top jazz guitar. The late Bill Collings’ work is some of the best. His work was very well thought out and executed in every way. Build quality, materials selection, fit, finish, sound and playability are top notch.
