Kentucky's master model is a masterpiece of mandolin hand construction.A true professional, artisan level instrument is the Kentucky KM-1500. It has all of the attributes a dedicated mandolin player seeks in a fine instrument. The new master model KM-1500 from Kentucky uses the finest, most highly figured Michigan Maple combined with the whitest, most fine-grained Adirondack spruce. These solid woods are meticulously hand carved and graduated — just as were the fabled originals of the early '20s — to achieve the finest tone quality and volume possible in a new instrument. The delicately shaded Cremona sunburst finish is as close to the originals as you will ever see. The elegantly gold-plated and engraved tuning machines and tailpiece are in perfect harmony with the understated elegance of the finish and workmanship. Perhaps the crowning touch of elegance on the new KM-1500 is the traditional Fern inlay of abalone pearl, carefully inlaid in just below the white pearl Kentucky logo .FEATURESFinest solid, handcarved and graduated Adirondack spruce topSolid, flat-sawn highly-flamed handcarved and graduated Northern Michigan maple backOne piece, highly figured maple neck with dovetail joint at 15th fret, 29 frets totalEbony extension fingerboard with pearl dot position markersivoroid binding on all edgesPeghead overlay features Kentucky logo and traditional fern inlay in abalone pearlVintage style, height-adjustable ebony bridge w/compensated top and small, gold-plated adjustment wheelsM-O-P nutHighly polished nickel-silver fretsGold-plated, engraved tuning machines and tailpieceHand-rubbed Cremona sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finishShop adjustedOrder today.
