    Default NMD: Pulled the trigger on a Collings A

    Just sealed the deal with Dennis and James at the Mandolin Store for a used Collings MT-O mandolin. A nice step up for me. I'm very fortunate.

    Time will pass v e r r r r r y s l o w l y for the next week or so!

    Congrats!
    They both looked very nice and at a good price. Did you get the blond or the sunburst?

    Congratulations! I have had a chance to play a couple, they are nice. I have always lusted after one of the black topped MT-O's myself.

    Congrats! Only have heard a couple of oval hole Collings and was impressed.

    Congrats. I have a Collings MT and an MTO. Love them both. They're different tonally, but both fun to play.

    Don't be silly. I wouldn't shoot a mandolin -- I was referring to this new Collings model that has the 40-caliber option, a laser sight and a finely tuned trigger. Oh, and a silencer, so as not to interfere with the music. An expensive option, yes, but it could be a life-saver someday. You can never be too prepared...
