The 1984 Kentucky KM-Dawg is a rare, highly collectible mandolin designed in collaboration with David Grisman, John Monteleone, and Eiichi Sumi. Featuring a carved spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, and Monteleone-inspired scroll body, it’s one of only about 40 made during the Sumi era. Renowned for its rich tone and craftsmanship, this example includes a Superior hardshell case. 

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
