Kentucky KM-150S mandolin Sunburst

Kentucky KM-150S mandolin. The tailpiece looks to have been upgraded to an  Ashton-Bailey solid tailpiece. There is some hairline cracks in the finish along the sides around the neck joint.  They are hardly noticeable. I had the guitar tech at Guitar Center make sure everything was OK with it. There is no case or gig bag.

The Kentucky KM-150 mandolin is a fabulous value available in an all-solid, traditionally designed, A-style instrument that beautifully combines period-correct vintage specifications with an amazingly affordable price. When it comes to tone and playability, the KM-150 also excels. To achieve the best tone and volume possible, select solid spruce - meticulously hand-carved and graduated - is used for the top, while select solid maple is used for the back and sides. A solid maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and traditional snakehead-shaped peghead is attached to the body by a modified dovetail neck-body joint not only adds to the authentic look, but also has a comfortable shape that is easy to play, and offers a lifetime of serviceability. Top everything off with a set of accurate, open-geared tuners, an adjustable rosewood bridge and tuning will be easy, accurate and with perfect intonation every time.
