Product Description
Collings MT2 Full Gloss A-Style Mandolin
The Collings MT2 is a fully appointed A-style mandolin built for players seeking exceptional projection, tonal sophistication, and refined craftsmanship. Featuring a carved Adirondack spruce top paired with premium Eastern flamed maple back and sides, the MT2 delivers outstanding clarity, powerful chop, and impressive dynamic response while maintaining the warmth and complexity expected from a world-class mandolin.
Compared to the satin-finished MT model, the MT2 offers upgraded appointments and a striking high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish that enhances both visual depth and tonal liveliness. The F-hole configuration and tone bar bracing provide excellent projection and articulation, making the MT2 especially well suited to bluegrass, ensemble playing, and modern acoustic performance where clarity and cut are essential.
The rounded V neck profile and compound-radius ebony fingerboard create a highly comfortable and fast playing experience, while premium details including ivoroid binding, flourish peghead inlay, and deluxe hardware elevate the instrument’s elegant vintage-inspired appearance.
Responsive, balanced, and highly expressive, the MT2 stands among the finest modern A-style mandolins available today.
