Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed KM-508 is Kentucky’s A-style mandolin with a metallic gold lacquered top and a 1950s-inspired visual direction. Its solid carved Alpine maple back and sides are matched with a solid carved German spruce top. A slim Alpine maple neck, radiused ebony fingerboard, and adjustable ebony bridge complete the playing platform. Kentucky describes the instrument as clear, articulate, punchy, and resonant, with the included padded ProTour BV-2520 gig bag adding a dedicated carrying option.
