I have an MT #690. Anyone know when it was made? It is really opening up lately and was just wondering, since I bought it used. Thanks.

I had MT 525 which was finished in august 2004
|

|
Another question... Anyone know what number they're at now?

Well, my MT2V was finished in February of this year and is #1041.
BTW, it is without question the finest mandolin Collings has ever made, reagrdless of model or appointments. Clem D1A DS1AH...a SERIOUS guitar MT2V 290 mit Stetsbar various non-Collings things with strings |

Mostconst,
I have MT #697...bought is used in 6/05. I know it was in the store at least 6 months before I got it. So I'd say it's from late 2004. '99 D1A / '07 CWMhAVarn / '07 D2HBaG / MT |

My MT2 is # 252, June 2003

Just to add another data point, I bought #976, a new Collings MT, today.

This is a little off topic, but... I saw a 2004 MT (#600) for sale in the Mandolincafe classifieds for the very low price of $1100.00. If I had the money laying around, I'd buy it.
