"The Kentucky KM-606 takes the classic F-5 design and strips away every cosmetic feature leaving nothing but the elements that make for a great sounding mandolin. The top is hand carved German spruce and the back and sides are Alpine maple. The maple neck has a slim, comfortable feel and the reduced ebony fretboard is fitted with 22 nickel-silver frets. The top, back, neck and headstock are unbound and the finish has simple chocolate brown color." -Kentucky

Comes with a nice Gator Case! This instrument is in good shape overall. There are a few cosmetic blemishes, some rashing around the edges, and a nick on the bottom side. Other than that, it sounds and plays fantastic.  This is a mando that punches well above it's weight. Comparable to much nicer instruments. It is nice and light at 2LBS 8oz and is a goregous 'F-Style'.
