Description
Vintage Power, Modern Grace
The Kentucky KM-1550 Mandolin commands attention the moment it’s in hand. From the finely carved Adirondack spruce top to the radiused ebony fingerboard, it sings with rich clarity. Yet, it feels surprisingly agile, even during fast passages.
Crafted with Intention
Each curve and line flows like a song long remembered. The flamed Michigan maple back and sides echo with punchy tone, while the Cremona sunburst finish gives it that timeless stage presence. Meanwhile, the ivoroid binding adds a touch of regal flair.
Built for the Journey
Comfort meets strength in every detail. The scooped extension and medium frets allow effortless play, and the ProTour gig bag protects it well on the road. Even the gold-plated tailpiece and tuning machines align like the stars—both beautiful and reliable.
Where Sound Meets Story
This instrument isn’t just built—it’s born from tradition. As one plays, the inlaid abalone Fern-style peghead whispers of legends past. Yet, the sound is undeniably present, boldly pushing forward with tone and volume to spare.
