I do love those splatter painted cases.

You did a fine job. Looks great too.

I’d rather have the Engleman.

Wow. A great first mandolin.

Very nice.

Very nice. Nothing like hitting it off with a closet queen.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Like Evan said beautiful burst. However I really dig the one piece back. Stunning.

Northfield airloom deluxe case will accommodate both.

There a whole lot of cool in that old A.

Nice touch.

Redwood top? It’s beautiful.

"I did that on F-9 few years ago"

I remember that F9. Great job on its restoration. Where did that one end up?

Love those those Presto cases with the tartan interiors.

Just curious but are nitro finishes ever removed in favor of one of the varnish finishes?

Breedlove Quartz, was a 2001 model and would’ve been better suited as a concrete statuary mold. A stump had more going for it sonically than this thing did. Seriously an old A40 with a sunken top...

Nice. I agree those cases are more than adequate. Lots of room for unnecessary stuff! Like mine.

Tim you have a great looking and I’m sure a great sounding MT2. I missed my holy grail a few years back, MT2V light tobacco burst with an engleman top. Haven’t seen another since.

Collings makes a fine mandolin. I’m enjoying my MT2 as well. It’s my second one. First was not made with torrefied wood. #2 is and there’s quite a bit of difference sonically between the two. Hope...

Love the tone of that old Gibson. It’s just perfect.

Happy day tomorrow, one is the lonely number.

Can’t speak for the M but the NF F5 I owned had a clubby thickish neck profile. Ultimately I sold the NF because of the neck profile. The Collings profile is perfect for my hand size.

Excellent! Love the twin mandolin harmony. Got it going on in the studio! I’ve been trying to work out the harmony on Brilliancy and it’s kicking my butt. Fun trying though.

Dang. No Collings, Gibson, Apitius, Mowry, McClanahan. Etc Lacking for sure. Maybe change the wordage to “If there could only be one.” Eliminate the list.

For me it would be either a Collings MF5...

If there was one word to describe Collings products it would be consistency. I’ve never played a bad one. And in my worthless opinion the A’s are the bomb diggity. Neck profiles are a rounded V and...
