Kentucky KM-1500

The master model KM-1500 from Kentucky utilizes the finest, most highly figured Michigan maple combined with the whitest, most fine-grained Adirondack spruce. These solid woods are meticulously hand-carved and graduated—just as were the fabled originals of the early ’20s—to achieve the finest tone quality and volume possible in a new instrument.

The delicately shaded Cremona sunburst finish is as close to the originals as you will ever see. The elegantly gold-plated and engraved tuning machines and tailpiece are in perfect harmony with the understated elegance of the finish and workmanship. Perhaps the crowning touch of elegance on the KM-1500 is the traditional Vine inlay of abalone pearl, carefully inlaid just below the white pearl Kentucky logo.
