Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Kentucky’s KM-120 Army-Navy Special-Edition is a right-handed A-style mandolin with a flat top and back, built around solid mahogany for the top, back, and sides. Its mahogany neck carries a rosewood fingerboard, while a bone nut and non-adjustable compensated rosewood bridge define the string path. Nickel-plated open-gear tuners with white plastic buttons and a nickel-plated tailpiece with removable cover complete the hardware. The natural matte body finish keeps the presentation simple and direct.
