I traded for a 340 a couple of years ago to have a 'beater' that i didn't have to worry too much about ... and i gotta tell you, Kentucky's A models are the most 'bang for the buck' in the $200-$400 price range hands down!
Re: Kentucky KM-250S. It’s really hard to tell just from what information you have. That model went through a lot of changes through the years. In the 1990s they were Korean made and had a solid spruce top with laminated back and sides. When production moved to China they became all solid woods.
The main differences will be that the KM-250 Mandolin uses slightly higher grades of woods, upgraded tuners and has a radiused fingerboard. Whether or not the flat fingerboard on the KM-150 is a disadvantaged, is really more of a personal call.
The Kentucky KM-250 is an ideal first time bluegrass mandolin, offering a good punchy sound due to it's solid maple back and sides and solid spruce top.Playe...
16 lip 2014 · Kentucky KM-250 Mandolin Reviews. Submitted by Muscle Tone (see all reviews from this person) on 7/16/2014. Where Purchased: Murphy's Music. Year Purchased: 2014. Price Paid: $249 ($US) (bought USED) Sound. This mandolin suprisingly has a very balanced sound. Mostly on the brighter side, but can really bark on the middle and bass strings as well.
1990s Kentucky KM-250S Mandolin (Serial No. 12200) Excellent condition. There is no accurate serial number list of Kentuckys, so the date is an educated guess. It might be older. Nice clean Kentucky A5 style mandolin with the snakehead heaadstock, solid spruce top and laminated maple back and sides. Rosewood bridge and fretboard.
Up for sale is a wonderful sounding and easy playing Kentucky Mandolin KM-250S. The S means all solid woods; the top is solid spruce and the neck, sides and back are solid maple. No plywood! The color of this mandolin is absolutely beautiful.
