Re: Praise for the Kentucky KM-150
Guess I’ll revive this thread. I bought a km 150 from Guitar Center ( open box great price) after an aborted attempt at getting a Washburn m1S which I returned. Bought as a travel/jam/beater. Having purchased from GC, I fully expected it to have set up issues. I had all my set up tools ready. Nut-even and correct height, 12th fret string height perfect. No high or sharp frets. Neck straight. Intonation was flat-moved the bridge a bit and voila-set up complete. So, it played well- it’s a flat fretboard which I prefer. Tone wise even with the stock strings was surprisingly good. Once I found the right pick and played it a while it woke up and I was surprised how good it sounded. I gathered from the serial number that it was made in 2022. No blems. Couldn’t be more pleased. If you’re in the market for a starter, beater, etc this is a good way to go. YMMV.
Thanks
Several mandolins of varying quality-any one of which deserves a better player than I am.......
