Kentucky Artist A-Model Mandolins
Artist A-model Kentuckys get new look and upgraded specs!
Our top-selling A-model—and possibly today’s greatest value
in a mid-priced mandolin, is the KM-505. From its handcarved
woods to its radiused Ebony fingerboard, the KM-505 offers a
world of value. We are proud to introduce two new models to
our great line of A-style mandolins. The KM-550 features more
highly-figured maple and a delicate,
Wreath
inlay in pearl on the
headstock. It features a nitrocellulose finish and an ebony fin-
gerboard. The new KM-500 has a distinctive
Deco
peghead inlay
in white & abalone pearl. Choice, hand-carved spruce and maple
make the KM-500 a sure sales winner.
