collings mf-5 wide nut

[Wando]

In looking for an MF-5 with a wide nut (1 3/16), I see one on the Elderly web site. Has anyone played that one?

I haven't tried the one at Elderly, but I think it would be hard to beat this one, right here in the classifieds:

I've played the one in the ad, before it landed with the current owner. It is a remarkable instrument, and I've never seen such gorgeous quilted maple. It's great to see Collings making such amazing mandolins - what's next for them?...

I don't know what's next, but I hope it includes an octave mandolin!
