This is my Kentucky 250s that I bought several years ago. I wish I knew a year on it. I played it for about a year, and then gave up on it because the action was so bad that it was virtually unplayable. Later I paid a local luthier $70 to set it up for me and now it has great action. I think it has an incredible tone. I got it for around $200 new on closeout at musician's friend.
I hadn't played much until this winter when I found Thile's bach video on youtube. That inspired me to put more effort into it and I have learned several songs since December via youtube and this site in the song-a-week group videos.
I think it's really a great instrument. Great tone, and pretty easy on the eyes. I'd like to have figured wood and such, but the sound makes me forget all that. Anyway, here she is:
