Kentucky Master F-Model Mandolins
Setting the market on fire with America’s new favorite mandolin!
Designed in response to a demand from players and collectors
for fine mandolins that duplicate the best vintage instruments,
Kentucky’s Master F-Models are our top-of-the-line mandolins.
Kentucky Master F-Model Mandolins are used by many discerning
professional musicians who demand the best. Their rich, warm,
powerful voices record cleanly yet cut through to ring out in live
performance situations.
Kentucky Master F-Model Mandolins are handcrafted in our factory
by master luthiers; whose meticulous workmanship and assiduous
attention to detail result in an instrument that is as perfect on
the inside as it is on the outside. The superb quality of these
instruments is evident in every facet of their construction, from
the selection of the choicest quartersawn close-grained spruce
and highly figured flat-sawn maples to the hand carving and
graduation of tops and backs. As a result, Kentucky Master F-Model
Mandolins are the best playing, best sounding, most aesthetically
pleasing new mandolins on the market at any price.
