A Legacy of Excellence, Crafted for the Modern Player
The Kentucky KM-858 Gold Top Artist F-model Mandolin is more than an instrument—it’s a testament to time-honored craftsmanship. Inspired by the legendary Loar designs of the 1920s, this mandolin blends vintage artistry with modern precision. Every note sings with crisp clarity, thanks to a hand-carved solid German spruce top, ensuring every player—whether novice or seasoned—can bring their music to life with rich, articulate tone.
Tonewoods That Resonate With Power and Precision
Built for those who demand both projection and nuance, the KM-858 boasts select solid flamed Alpine maple back and sides. This Kentucky-exclusive tonewood, naturally dry-aged for optimal resonance, delivers a commanding presence that cuts through any mix. Its slim, one-piece Alpine maple neck invites effortless playability, while the premium radiused ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, responsive touch that makes every fret transition feel intuitive.
Striking Beauty Meets Reliable Protection
A shimmering metallic gold lacquer finish gives the KM-858 a regal presence, setting it apart from the ordinary. But beauty is only the beginning—this mandolin is built for the long haul. With a sturdy, padded ProTour BV-2520 gig bag bearing the Kentucky logo, players can trust their instrument is well-protected wherever inspiration leads. Factory-fitted with D’Addario EJ-74 strings, this mandolin arrives stage-ready, primed for any musical journey.
