    Default New to me Kentucky KM 1500

    Hello all
    I have a new to me Kentucky KM 1500 serial number 88704 in writing not typed. I gather it was manufactured in 1988? Anything else anyone can offer for information?
    Thanks

    As I comprehend the numbering system, yes, 1988. I believe all Kentucky models from the KM-1000 on up were constructed by a small shop of craftsmen (3 or 4?) during this period, so one could consider them to be "hand crafted". If you search the forums for "KM-DAWG", you will likely find more specific information about the high-end Kentucky mandolins of the 1980s.
