Vincent BarrasShare
The Kentucky KM-700 is a hand-carved F-style mandolin built with premium tonewoods and traditional craftsmanship, offering strong projection and a rich, balanced voice suited to bluegrass and folk players. Its classic sunburst finish, detailed inlay work and lightly graduated top give it both stage-ready presence and impressive tonal depth. A refined instrument made in 2013, it delivers the lively response and character expected from a high-grade Kentucky mandolin.
