Kentucky KM-1000 Master Model Mandolin

 
    It is amazing to see the quality of instruments coming from Kentucky these days!  Make no mistake about it, this KM-1000 Master Model mandolin is a serious contender in the professional mandolin field,  with all solid wood construction,  true carved & graduated American Red spruce top with tone bars,  true carved & graduated Northern Michigan maple back & sides,  Loar style bridge,  engraved tailpiece,  inlayed peghead,  thin nitro finish and precision Gotoh 14:1 reverse tuners! 

    There seem to be plenty of manufacturers these days who are able to make mandolins that LOOK like an F-5,  but they often fall quite short when is comes to SOUNDING like an F-5.  The current version of Kentucky's KM-1000 Master Model actually delivers that throaty midrange and cutting high end that we all associate with a really quality mandolin!
