Default My new mandolin

I have had this Kentucky KM-505 about a week. I'm very happy with it. It came with a good set up and is easy to play.

Nice mandolin. I really like the headstock inlay on that one.

I find myself playing my mandolin more than my guitar these days. Hopefully you will too.

The KM-505 is one of the very best instruments that Kentucky makes. Certainly in terms of value delivered for dollar spent, it is THE best mandolin they make.

nice choice.
