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!

Testimonials:


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

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.

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
