Description
Kentucky mandolins are some of the best mandolins available today. Yet we still found a way to improve on it! We have added a high grade Boulder Alpine gig bag!
The Kentucky brand offers a great variety of styles to suit any player. The KM-151 is a relatively rare model, its features mirror those of the KM-150 which sports a Sunburst top, the only real difference is the stunning black gloss finish on this model.
Saga’s biggest-selling A-models have rightfully earned the title America’s favorite mandolin! These mandolins offer a value so extraordinary as to make them runaway bestsellers. Priced within the reach of any budget-conscious musician, these traditionally designed A-models offer a big, sweet tone and fast, easy playing action. Easy tuning is assured by the deluxe tuning machines and accurately placed frets. Other features include an elevated, 20-fret fingerboard, which frees up the top for maximum vibration. The neck angle allows the use of a higher, adjustable bridge in the correct vintage-style. The result is a sweet, powerful tone with volume to spare. These superb mandolins are suitable for every musician—from the aspiring student to the working professional. Kentucky mandolins offer a host of professional features at really affordable prices! Our basic model, the KM-140 features a solid spruce top for maximum volume. A new model is the KM-151— its lustrous high-gloss black finish is all class and showmanship!
