KENTUCKY KM-630 MANDOLINThis is my treasured Kentucky mandolin, bought from new a few years ago and if I'm honest hardly ever played. Out of choice I wouldn't sell it but hard times suggest that if it's not in use then it has to go so here's your chance to pick it up. It is pretty much in the same condition as when I bought it, the only tiny blemish being a 1-2 mm mark in the finish as seen in the last image (placed there by my wife who was not popular). I bought it hoping to be able to play like Marty Stuart (if you don't know who that is then check him out) but I don't really get enough time to spend playing guitar (which is my maininstrument) so this just gets left sitting in the case.It comes with a good quality hard case.I am located in the Saffron Walden / Stansted area (Postcode CM7) and you are more than welcome to arrange to view the instrument, just give me a shout and we'll arrange something.Any questions please ask.I wouldn't want it to get damaged in transit so will send via courier although if you are local are welcome to collect.I don't know that much about it so here is data copied from the internet;
The Kentucky KM-630 is fantastic 'f style' Mandolin with all the quality tone and build quality you'd expect from a brand like Kentucky. The Solid Spruce top has a balanced yet focused tone with the Maple body adding the sparkle that makes Mandolins sound like Mandolins!Here's what Kentucky say about the KM-630For the last 25 years, Kentucky has been a world leader in mandolins - from the most affordable student models up to the finest professional artist instruments. Now Saga gives you a mid-priced Kentucky mandolin with outstanding performance and professional features you'd expect in much more expensive mandolins. Most of all, the KM-630 has the loud, responsive bark that is so prized by Bluegrass and country pickers.Solid spruce top with solid maple back and sides. Maple neck with adjustable truss rod and F-style headstock with traditional M.O.P. fern and "Kentucky" script inlays.
