    I just noticed on my MT1 #63 that the finish is peeling on the treble side of the neck at frets 1-3.

    Did Collings give you a time frame for having this done?

    I have MT-1 #63 dated Jan 2001. It has a red spruce sunburst top with a full gloss finish. I also had an earlier MT-1, also with a full gloss finish. I think they are great mandolins.
