Introducing the new KM-505 Kentucky Mandolin! T he KM-505 A-Model Mandolin incorporates the finest features of the classic instruments of the last Golden Age with modern features that are typically found only on boutique mandolins costing many thousands of dollars. The body configuration harkens back to the 1920s with all solid carved, graduated tops and backs along with the traditional split-lip neck/body joint. The contemporary contributions include a comfortable, radiused fingerboard and a shortened extension which allows the player to soften the tone color by picking strings further from the bridge without the accompanying pick clatter.
