Kentucky KM-252 Deluxe A-Model Mandolin (Transparent Amber)

A solid carved German spruce top paired with a solid carved Alpine maple back and sides gives the Kentucky KM-252 the construction normally associated with pricier A-style mandolins. The spruce brings clean note articulation and a crisp, bright voice, while the maple body adds punch behind it. Kentucky's redesigned Artist series is aimed at serious players, and the transparent amber lacquer finish adds colour and lustre without hiding the wood.

Playability gets as much attention as tone. The slim Alpine maple neck keeps the action comfortable through fast runs and long sessions, and the radiused rosewood fingerboard is chosen for smooth fretting under the fingers. Solid tonewoods tend to open up with playing time, so the response and richness of this A-model should keep improving as the instrument ages. A padded ProTour BV-2520 gig bag with Kentucky logo is included for carrying it to rehearsals and gigs.
