    Default Kentucky KM-252 or KM-270 $333 with case

    Here's the best deal I've seen on these great Kentucky models. They do come from Musicians Friend, so be prepared to do your own setup.
    With coupon code "COOLOFF" 15% off the mandolins are $293.

    Your link for the case sends me to an empty shopping cart.

    Coupon code for 15% off expired.
    8% off code "8off89" brings the mandolin to $317. Still a great deal.

    My KM270 came used but with the same squawks I've seen on new lower-end Kentucky mandos so I suspect a setup was never done.

    Expect to have to fit the bridge to the top (& having a radius added to the saddle to match the fretboard is a bonus), the frets will likely need some attention, and the truss rod adjusted for proper relief. Pretty simple stuff and it's a great instrument for the price.

    My opinion - the KM272 is an incredible quality-to-price value. Highly recommended.
