Further notes on the 300 Series:

These are professional mandos through and through...They feature the professional long neck joined to the body at the 15th fret...just like the vintage originals!

Our finest model within this line-up is the KM-380S. If features a select solid spruce top and highly-flame, solid maple back, sides and neck. The "snakehead" style peghead has the Kentucky logo and traditional Fleur-de-lys inlay in pearl. Premium quality machine heads provide easy, accurate tuning. The body and neck are finished in a beautiful vintae-style sunburst and the entire instrument is finished in a clear gloss lacquer.

The KM-350S features the same selection of solid woods with less highly-figured maple and the back has single white binding. The KM-340S has a select solid top with highly flamed maple back and sides and single-bound back.

These fine professional mandolins are the next best thing to vintage originals, but at a fraction of the price!

Subject: thank you
Hello Bryan:
I want to thank you for the Sierra and the KM-380S. I am totally amazed at the tonal quality of both. Thanks! Jon Pass

Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 Hi Brian -I take back all the mean things I said about you - this mandolin (Kentucky KM-380S) is really great. It's set up perfectly right out of the box, and sounds very, very nice for an imported instrument.

Date: Sun, 03 Oct 1999 Thanks for the quick service and for answering all my questions. I ordered my mandolin on Tuesday afternoon and it was here on Thursday. It arrived in perfect condition. The gig bag you recommended was just what I needed. Thanks for the advice. I went into town to buy a couple of picks and the music store had hired a mandolin instructor the day before. I start lessons tomorrow. Everything is falling into place. Thanks again, Richard H. Bragg Fayette County, Texas
