Michael Kelly is an American guitar, bass and mandolin manufacturer, based in Clearwater, Fl. For years Michael Kelly Guitars has been known for building instruments that put sound first and yet often also offers show stopping looks. Michael Kelly is committed to offering products that have unique looks, playability, tone and value. Pick up any of their instruments and you will clearly see their focus! The Michael Kelly Mandolins clearly excel from that pedigree.
Michael Kelly is proud to offer the widest variety of mandolins available. Since we own our own factory, every Michael Kelly mandolin is built with care to produce the best tone possible. All Michael Kelly mandolins, from the least expensive to the most, feature solid wood construction. Michael Kelly mandolins are truly "Built on Sound".
The Legacy Plus has all of the key features required for the best possible mandolin tone. We start with a solid spruce top that we hand carve and graduate for that classic f-style mandolin bark. The back and sides are also solid with North American maple.
The Legacy plus also has a premium ebony fingerboard for another tonal advantage. As with all Michael Kelly mandolins the Plus is constructed using a classic dovetail neckjoint for maximum tonal resonance between the neck and body. The Legacy Plus also has high quality Grover tuners and a radiused fingerboard making it easy to play. Be sure to hear the Plus for yourself.
