Description
The new master model KM-1500 from Kentucky uses 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 new KM-1500 is the traditional Fern inlay of
abalone pearl, carefully inlaid in just below the white pearl Kentucky
logo.
