Kentucky Master F-Model Mandolin KM-1000 in Traditional 1920's sunburst Product Details & More! The KM-1000 Kentucky Master Model Mandolin was introduced in the late 1970s in response to players and collectors requests for a mandolin that duplicated the best vintage instruments in every point of tone, appearance and finish. Kentucky Master Models are again being constructed to the same standard of quality. Only the finest American spruce and maple is hand-carved and graduated for the tops and backs. Deluxe 14:1 reverse tuners, Pre-war style ebony bridge and side-striped w/b/w ivoroid body binding all reek vintage. Take a trip back to the early 20s on the Kentucky time machine...it is surprisingly affordable.
