Kentucky Artist A-Model Mandolin Model KM-505 in Vintage Amberburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mandolin is a beautiful instrument. It is soft, stirring, and easy to play. Even though the mandolin is a 100 star, I had to rate it a 3 because I would not reccomend buying it from amazon. My reasons:
1) It comes unassembled- and personally I don't want to pay someone to set it up after I've had to pay for the entire instrument
2) It is packaged in simply a box and a tiny thin wrapping of foam
Basically, my instrument arrived with the neck snapped, and the strings coiling off it. I had to send it back, and was very dissapointed to see the UPS had crushed the box (and even ripped a hole in it). While I do not at all blame amazon for my mandolin arriving destroyed, it was completely improper packaging for a 400$ instrument. I bought the same mandolin from the 'mandolin store' online, and it arrived in a free hardshell case.
Again, amazon is carrying a lovely instrument, however I do not reccomend buying it from this store.

Kentucky Artist A--Model Mandolin Model KM-171 in Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 12 year old violin-playing daughter hasn't put this mandolin down since she received it nearly a month ago!
Seems to be well made with nice details and very good sound. If it holds-up, it's a winner!

Kentucky Artist A-Model Mandolin Model KM-174 in Burgundy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Lovely tone, attractive model. Great buy, even though mine arrived scratched, and as I needed it and am traveling I will cope. Bear in mind it does NOT come set up - you can try to tune it and position the bridge yourself, or find a friendly luthier to do it for you (mine charged me $20, which is well worth it IMHO).

Kentucky Artist A- Model Mandolin (Burgundy) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It may be a little early to rate this instrument, since I only acquired it about two weeks ago. But I've played it at every opportunity, and have already used it in a gig. I am very happy with this mandolin. It isn't really a rock-bottom entry-level instrument, but it isn't a real high-end collector's item either. What it is is a well-made piece of work, with some things you won't find in the real rock-bottom instruments that are out there. It has solid top, back and sides, and adjustable truss rod, a radiused fretboard, and a burgundy finish that makes it a little different from all the blond and sunburst mandos out there. And it sounds great -- it's loud enough to be heard, and it stays in tune from one song to the next. I'm a novice as a mando player, but have played guitar for a number of years, and it's easy to tell this is a pretty nice instrument.
It was shipped with the strings loosened and the floating bridge not installed, so I had to set it up and tune it. But once I was done with that, it was ready to go. It comes without a case or gig bag, and without a strap, so those things needed to be purchased separately.
