A vintage masterpiece reborn.
The Kentucky KM-1000 Master F-Style Mandolin is designed to deliver the rich, vintage tone of early 20th-century mandolins, built to meet the high standards of modern musicians. Originally introduced in the late 1970s, this model became a favorite for players and collectors alike, offering unmatched sound, appearance, and craftsmanship. The KM-1000 is built using premium American spruce and maple, handcarved and graduated to recreate the unmistakable resonance of vintage instruments.
Traditional Craftsmanship and Modern Playability
This mandolin features a solid handcarved Adirondack spruce top and solid carved flamed Michigan maple back and sides, ensuring superior note clarity and punchy volume. The slim flamed maple neck offers smooth, easy action, while the premium ebony fingerboard enhances durability and visual appeal. A prewar-style ebony bridge and ivoroid body binding contribute to the vintage aesthetic.
