Collings MT Mandolin 1 3/16th Nut

Handcrafted A-Style Mandolin with Enhanced Comfort and Tone

The Collings MT is one of the most respected A-style mandolins available today, offering exceptional craftsmanship, premium tonewoods, and a warm, articulate voice suited for players of all styles. This model features the wider 1 3/16" nut, preferred by many for its extra string spacing and improved left-hand comfort — ideal for both modern and traditional mandolin technique.

Premium Build, Classic Collings Tone

Built with a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid maple back and sides, the MT delivers a responsive, balanced tone with crisp highs, rich lows, and excellent projection. The hand-carved top and back are meticulously voiced, giving the instrument a lively, open feel straight out of the case.

Refined Playability

The wider 1 3/16" nut offers a comfortable, spacious feel under the fingers — particularly appreciated by guitarists moving to mandolin or players who prefer a slightly wider string spread. The ebony fingerboard, smooth satin neck finish, and precision fretwork contribute to effortless playability.

Elegant, Practical Design

The Collings MT blends understated aesthetics with high-end build quality, including an ivoroid-bound top, simple rosette, and sleek satin nitro finish that allows the instrument to resonantly age and mature over time.
