KENTUCKY KM-800?

[WHITE1989]

I HAVE A KENTUCKY KM-800 THAT I BOUGHT OFF OF A GUY ON EBAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS MANDOLIN? I AM LOOKING TO SELL IT IN THE FALL AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WORTH.

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES, BUT I CHECKED THE ONE ELDERLY HAS AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THE SAME MANDOLIN. THE SERIAL NO. ON MY MANDOLIN IS 9880005 IF THAT HELPS. MAYBE MINE IS AN EARLIER VERSION.

New list price is $1195, Elderly sells them for $875. There is a complete description on the Saga web site.

Hope this helps.

What info are you looking for? I have one, bought recently. Elderly's that sells for $875 is a second. Mine has nice flame on the back and neck. These are all solid wood, maple back and sides, spruce top, rosewood fingerboard.

Take in to note these don't include the all new 800 MIC mando.
