Mandolins with radiused fretboards

[Dr.Lee]

Greetings and thanks for letting me be a part of the Cafe ! Other than Eastman's and Michael Kelly's, are there any other mandolins under $1000 with radiused fretboards ?
I have an Eastman 305 and I like the radiused fretboard. I am already planning my next mandolin. MAS and all that !

Thanks,
Dr.

Hi Dr Lee - welcome to the Cafe!

Some of the Kentucky’s have radiused boards, but you need to check the specs for each one, as some are flat.

My Kentucky KM250 has a radiused neck. Well under $1000

Sorry I meant to say F style.

The only other brand I can think of is J Bovier. I believe this model to have a radiused board.

The challenge will be finding an upgrade to your MD305 for $1K, particularly an f-style. The advice I would offer but not follow is to save up for a significant upgrade rather than buying multiple contenders in the same weight class.

That sounds like good advice. Thanks. I’ll keep you posted.
