A modern take on vintage tone.
The Kentucky KM-1050 Master F-Style Mandolin offers a perfect blend of vintage-inspired tone and modern playability. Designed for players who need wider string spacing and smoother frets, this mandolin shares the classic aesthetics of the popular KM-1000 but offers additional player-friendly upgrades. Featuring a solid handcarved Adirondack spruce top and flamed Michigan maple back and sides, it provides unparalleled clarity and projection.
With Modern Playability and Premium Features
The KM-1050 features a compound-radius ebony fingerboard, offering smooth playability and extra durability. Its wider nut and saddle provide comfortable string spacing, while the skillfully scooped fingerboard extension maintains a traditional look. The taller frets and premium hardware ensure a comfortable playing experience, making it easy for players to transition from other fretted instruments.
Classic Looks, Modern Performance
Finished with a high-gloss sunburst lacquer and equipped with deluxe tuners, the KM-1050 is built for players who seek professional tone and playability. This mandolin comes with a padded ProTour BV-2520 Mandolin Gig Bag to ensure your instrument is well-protected during transport.
