This new KM-505 is a truly professional mandolin that any serious player can easily afford! Kentucky KM-505 A Style Mandolin, Vintage S/B, carved spruce top. I only had one mic, so it is double tracked, panned left and right with a little reverb. The tone and volume of this magnificent instrument are tops in its class and rival boutique mandolins at three times the price. Solo mandolin version of the prelude to Bachs Cello Suite Number 1. The exclusive Saga black and white layered pickguard is a vintage touch that is both practical and elegant. A lovely amberburst lacquer finish covers the entire instrument and all metal parts are gold-plated. The solid spruce top and flamed maple back and sides are hand-carved and graduated with elegant, black and white purfling on top and bottom edges. On the peghead, white and exotic red mother-of-pearl are set in a gleaming, black overlay for a stunning effect. The entry level / intermediate market in mandolins has definitely heated up in recent years. The master luthiers at Kentucky Mandolins have given our top-selling KM-505 a total revision-adding more tone, volume, style and VALUE!
