This is a wonderful instrument which is to be expected from the great folks at Collings. Here is some information from their website... "The MF Deluxe provides upscale features like grained ivoroid neck and peghead binding, an ivoroid-bound ebony pickguard, and glossy nitrocellulose lacquer top. With a fully-carved Adirondack spruce top and maple back and sides, the MF Deluxe is built with the same quality construction as our fully-appointed models and produces the rich, woody tone that one would expect from a professional quality mandolin. It also features a glossy lacquer finish on the top and peghead veneer (satin back/sides/neck), ivoroid binding on the fingerboard and peghead, and an ivoroid-bound ebony pickguard." The nut width is 1 and 3/16" The fingerboard is Ebony w/ MOP dots and the String Spacing is 1 and 9/16". The fingerboard Radius is 5 and 1/2" to 11 and 5/8" compound and the Scale Length is 13 and 7/8". The serial number is 2345 and a Deluxe hardshell case is included."
