About this product

Product Information

The Kentucky Standard A-Model mandolins are priced within reach of any budget-conscious musician. These traditionally designed A-models offer a big, sweet tone and fast, easy playing action. Easy tuning is assured by the deluxe tuning machines and accurately placed frets. Other features include an elevated, 20-fret fingerboard, which frees up the top for maximum vibration. The neck angle allows the use of a higher, adjustable bridge in the correct vintage-style. The result is a sweet, powerful tone with volume to spare. These superb mandolins are suitable for every musician, from the aspiring student to the working professional.

Turning damaged mandolins into usable teaching tools
My reason for buying these Mandolins is to improve my luthier skills. The mandolins were advertised as un-repairable. It should probably read beyond economic repair. Since I am using them as a learning tool, I have removed the backs on two mandolins to devise different repair techniques. If you want to learn how to repair, this is an inexpensive way to learn. If you want to build a quality instrument from the parts, you will need expert experience. Overall, a good buy for the intended purpose.

Excellent mandolin that is durable, easy to play and has great sound.
This mandolin is an excellent instrument. It is well made, sounds great with excellent resonance, and is easy to play because of great action. I am very pleased with it. It was truly in mint condition, too. It was set up great. I added a set of Thomastik strings and the sound was even clearer and overall better. The case that came with it, was not a deluxe hard case. It is a hard case but without a deluxe lining. And that means the mandolin moves around in the case a lot. I may add a nice lining to help protect the mando when I am traveling to a gig.

Decent value
This seems to be a good entry level mandolin. The one we got used was close to being set up correctly. Needed and still needs a little bridge adjustment for height and position. One fret just above the octave seems to need filing.
