Introducing the new KM-1550 Master F-model mandolin from Kentucky! It’s the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern playability that mandolin players of all skill levels will love. This instrument is made from the finest, most beautifully figured Michigan maple and is combined with the whitest, most fine-grained Adirondack spruce top for power and note clarity. These solid and hand-picked tonewoods are meticulously hand-carved and graduated, just like the legendary originals of the mid-20s, to achieve the best tone quality and volume available from any new instrument. Modern playability improvements include a radiused ebony fingerboard with medium frets and a scooped extension. The delicately shaded, Cremona sunburst finish in nitrocellulose pays homage to original designs and beautifully stands out against the delicate lines of top purfling and grained ivoroid binding for a visual appeal that rivals the most sought-after and expensive vintage originals. A perfectly shaped and adjustable bridge allows for limitless action adjustment, while the elegantly engraved and accurate gold-plated, reversed-gear tuning machines frame the beautifully inlaid abalone Fern-style peghead inlay. The gold-plated tailpiece with a removable cover makes string changes easy and fits perfectly with the overall look and exceptional craftsmanship you’d expect from an instrument of this caliber.

Solid handcarved Adirondack spruce top provides you with superior note clarity and volume to spare
Solid carved flamed Michigan maple back and sides ensure extra punch
Slim flamed maple neck for comfortable, easy action
