Kentucky KM-150 Standard A-model Mandolin – Sunburst
The Kentucky KM-150 mandolin is the best 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 German spruce is used for the top, while select Alpine maple is used for the back and sides. A solid Alpine maple neck with tonewood 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 tonewood bridge and tuning will be easy, accurate and with perfect intonation every time. No other instrument in its class even comes close in tone, value and dependability.

Nice beginner mandolin This is a nice mandolin, and overall I’m really satisfied with my purchase. I’m having a blast playing it now that I’ve made a few tweaks. My experience, with Amazon as the seller for my purchase, is that this was not really set up prior to shipment by someone who is a mandolin player. The mandolin seemed to go out of tune quite easily, the action was really high, and the intonation was not great. I dialed it in myself, lowering the bridge and also adjusting the bridge for intonation on the…
