Kentucky KM-5000 Master F-model Mandolin

Discontinued

KM-5000


It's like traveling in time back to 1923 when you purchase the Bill Monroe Model KM-5000! We've recreated this fabulous mandolin with the finest woods, subtle Cremona sunburst finish (of spirit varnish—like the original) and we include a repro oblong case and cover and a Certificate signed by Bill's son, James!
