Kentucky carved tops deliver the knockout punch.
The KM-160 Kentucky Mandolin has the cutting power required for solo and ensemble work. The basis design elements of this series have continuously evolved and improved over Kentucky's 30-year history. The body shape has been refined for maximum percussive effect. Your chop might just shatter not only your own windows but possibly your neighbors as well!
The slim, fast neck is constructed of a single piece of maple and is reinforced with an adjustable truss rod. The neck is attached to the body with a complex dovetail joint for maximum security and sound transmission. The bridge is adjustable for easy adjustment of string action. Tuning is quick and precise with the M120, 14:1 ratio Gotoh tuners. The snakehead peghead shape is overlaid with Indian rosewood and inlaid with pearl and abalone in the unique Arrowhead design.
Features
- Solid, hand carved and graduated spruce top
- Solid, hand carved and graduated flamed maple back and sides
- Solid one piece maple neck with adjustable truss rod
- Nitrocellulose lacquer finish available in three color options
- Rosewood headstock overlay with Mother of Pearl Inlays

Comments about Kentucky KM-160 Series Standard A-model Mandolin:
After checking out others reviews of this model Kentucky mandolin, I purchased it from Musicians freinds. It sounds wonderful, but you have to set it up, this should be something everyone learns to do. After setting it up, and intonation was on spot, I was quite happy with sound and action. Very Nice sound and will enjoy this for many years. There was some finish blemishes on the back, but you really don't look at the back...

- Fast Service
- Full Rich Sound
- Well Contructed

- None

Comments about Kentucky KM-160 Series Standard A-model Mandolin:
I had tried a friends Mandolin and after a few weeks decided to get my own. The finish is excellent and although it didn't come setup, it was pretty easy to get the intonation spot-on. The original strings didn't sound all that great, but a new set of Elixir lite nanoweb strings got it singing. The tone has improved over time also due to the wood curing. This is definately a keeper.
Comments about Kentucky KM-160 Series Standard A-model Mandolin:
I searched hi and low for just the right buy this year. This is my first mandolin, but have done my home work. Out of the box it was beaut!Once tuned, I never could have imagined the explosive sound and viberance this instrument displayed. Once the bridge was set in place, no further adjustments were needed. Some may want to lower the preset height on the bridge to get lower E and G strings, but I've left mine alone for now. I am VERY pleased with workmanship. All my fellow musicians that have touched and played it cannot beleive the deal I got. This baby gets easier and sweeter everytime I use it. Just one warning..it is loud! For a starter mandolin, this is the one. I may never feel the need to upgrade as I assumed I eventually would. If I do, this one has earned a spot in my musical collection forever!
Comments about Kentucky KM-160 Series Standard A-model Mandolin:
I thought this mandolin might be a good option for me for the reasonable price. Out of the box, when tuned to pitch, the neck cracked and broke at the nut. I'm not sure if this is just a bad one, but I'm not getting another.
