Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
KM-300E brings an electric format to Kentucky’s A-style mandolin line. Its solid basswood body has an arched basswood back, paired with a one-piece maple set neck and rosewood fingerboard. A classic Lipstick single-coil pickup supplies the instrument’s vintage single-coil character, which Kentucky describes as clear and precise with mix-cutting presence. The fixed bridge and die-cast tuners form the core hardware, while the high-gloss traditional sunburst finish keeps the presentation rooted in familiar mandolin styling. A ProTour BV-2520 gig bag accompanies it.
