    I bet it sounds great. That finish doesn’t appeal to me, though.

    I think it's really beautiful too. I'm wondering how much lighting, camera, etc go into this one. I looks different from any Collings blond that I've seen. Maybe the torrification darkens the wood? Will find out more if they do a video I guess.

    The torrification darkens the color. TME has a used sunburst with waverlies, Birdseye, and a pick guard. Not on the website yet. Great mandolin, from the Namm show a few years back. These are hard to get. I don’t think Collings has any of the wood right now.

    It will be sold by then. Things are selling at a pretty fast pace. There is tint on there also. Collings no longer does blonde or natural. It’s considered amber.
