  • Description: We really can't think of anything else that's both as nice and as affordable an F5 as this model. The flagship of the Kentucky line really IS that much nicer than any other Chinese-built instrument we've ever encountered. The fit and finish are flawless, the top and back carving work is meticulous, and the woods used in its construction are top notch. Quarter sawn Adirondack spruce top with no run-out and perfectly even grain, flamed flat-sawn Michigan maple back, sides, and quarter sawn highly flamed neck. Ivoroid bound ebony fingerboard with pearl dot inlays, and perfectly carved binding nubs at the end of each fret. Bound headstock with pearl and abalone flowerpot inlay and logo. Ebony adjustable bridge, pearl nut, silver-plated engraved tailpiece and matching silver plated Gotoh vintage style tuners. Vintage Cremona sunburst Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Soft V neck carve, 1-1/16" nut width, 13-7/8" scale. This instrument is easily comparable to any high-end North American made F-5 in all aspects.
