This Centennial mandolin will feature a special pearl-inlaid likeness of Bill above a banner commemorating this hundred-year milestone and his signature in gold. it will be hard to find a better F-model mandolin on the market today that represents the quality and value of America's new Favorite. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bill Monroe’s birth and extraordinary life, Saga Musical Instruments introduces the Limited Edition Kentucky Master F-model Mandolins. Like other Master Model Kentucky Mandolins, the body of the KM-1050 features a hand-carved and graduated Adirondack spruce top, and a back, sides and slim comfortable neck made of select Northern maple to assure the best tone possible. This catalog of from Saga shows the Kentucky mandolins that were made at the Kasuga factory. Saga Musical Instruments is a manufacturer and wholesale distributor of stringed instruments, particularly fretted instruments and members of the violin family, and parts and accessories for them.They own twenty-two brands, fifteen are listed below. All combine to make for a mandolin with a playability that is unmatched. I always have to chime in on 1980s Kentucky mandolin discussions. These features include an ebony fingerboard with a compound radius, a wider nut and saddle for more comfortable string spacing, frets that are taller and wider than those found on vintage instruments, and a skillfully scooped fingerboard extension with inlaid nickel-silver fret markers to retain a traditional look.
Mandolin players, especially those proficient in playing other fretted instruments with wider string spacing will appreciate the new KM-1050! At first glance, this new master-level mandolin shares similar specifications to the popular KM-1000, but looking more closely you will discover a few more player-friendly features first pioneered by Saga and Kentucky mandolins in the late 1970's as a result of collaborations with the best mandolin players of the day.
