If you like the mandolin and all you need is the ability to plug it in look at the options available. Call Collings and see what they recommend first. Then spend some time on the Equipment board here reading about the options that are available after market. You don't have to cut holes in the mandolin or anything, there are some pretty intense non-intrusive methods for getting what you want.
