Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Kentucky’s KM-120 Army-Navy Special-Edition is a right-handed A-style mandolin with a flat top and back, built around solid mahogany for the top, back, and sides. Its mahogany neck carries a rosewood fingerboard, while a bone nut and non-adjustable compensated rosewood bridge define the string path. Nickel-plated open-gear tuners with white plastic buttons and a nickel-plated tailpiece with removable cover complete the hardware. The natural matte body finish keeps the presentation simple and direct.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want a flat-top-and-back A-style mandolin with solid mahogany body construction.

- A right-handed mandolin setup with open-gear tuners and a removable tailpiece cover.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require an adjustable bridge; the KM-120’s compensated rosewood bridge is non-adjustable.
