Kentucky Mandoline KM1550

With a beautiful Adirondack spruce top and a flamed Michigan maple body, Kentucky has chosen exactly the right tonewood combination here! Kentucky has been building mandolins for decades for players who take their instrument seriously. The brand firmly roots its instruments in the F-style tradition that became famous through the bluegrass and country world, and the KM1550 is the top model in the lineup.

The refined details, engraved tuning machines, abalone Fern-style inlay on the headstock, and grained ivoroid binding show that Kentucky made no compromises when it came to the finish of this model.

In terms of sound, the Adirondack top combined with the flamed maple body delivers the bright, fast attack and projection you would expect from a high-quality F-style mandolin. The ebony fingerboard and adjustable ebony bridge provide an excellent foundation for comfortable playability and accurate intonation. Comes complete with a Kentucky gig bag and TFOA passport.
