The Collings MT2O is widely regarded as one of the finest A-style mandolins available, combining classic design with the precision craftsmanship Collings is known for. Built with a premium Adirondack spruce top and eastern flamed maple back, sides, and neck, the MT2O delivers exceptional clarity, quick response, and impressive projection—perfect for both bluegrass rhythm and articulate lead playing. Collings’ X-brace design enhances balance and sustain while maintaining the punch and focus players expect from a professional mandolin. Elegant appointments include ivoroid binding with black/white purfling, an ebony peghead veneer with MOP Collings logo and flourish, and a beautifully finished gloss nitrocellulose lacquer body. Playability is outstanding thanks to a comfortable rounded V neck profile, compound radius ebony fingerboard, 1 3/16″ nut width, and an adjustable ebony bridge for precise setup. Premium hardware including nickel Gotoh tuners with ivoroid buttons and the Collings original tailpiece complete the package. Finished with D’Addario EJ74 strings and protected in a deluxe TKL hardshell case, the Collings MT2O offers world-class tone, craftsmanship, and reliability in a refined A-style mandolin.
