Kala Solid Spruce Top Koa Gloss Acoustic Electric Ukulele

A cousin of the Hawaiian Koa Gloss line, the Kala Solid Spruce Top Koa Gloss Acoustic Electric Ukulele line pairs an Engelmann Spruce top with Hawaiian Koa back and sides, sealed in a gloss finish to bring out the grain of the wood. The Spruce top provides a complex, open sound with loud projection that pairs with the bright, midrange tone of the Hawaiian Koa back and sides.

Kala is making ukuleles at the peak of professional craftsmanship, and giving them the utmost playability. This excellently crafted uke features a concert body with cutaway, a spruce topped Hawaiian Koa body and outstanding Fishman electronics. This instrument is for the advanced ukulele player or the guitar player crossing over into ukulele territory.

Concert Body with Cutaway
Recognized for its classic ukulele look and sound, the concert size uke produces recognizable tones. The size of the Kala Solid Spruce Top Koa Gloss Acoustic Electric Ukulele and the sound it produces, are smack in the middle of the ukulele family. The cutaway design is easily held and played by anyone, and allows bigger hands to move all the way up the neck.

Spruce Topped Hawaiian Koa Body
Often considered the standard wood for ukulele construction, this uke is shaped from Hawaiian Koa. It features an Engelmann spruce top for vibrant sound. Much like on a guitar, the spruce of the Kala Solid Spruce Top Koa Gloss Concert Cutaway acoustic-electric ukulele helps increase the tone and volume for optimal sonic projection. The neck is carved from mahogany and capped with a Pau Ferro fingerboard for smooth playing and bright, midrange tone.

Outstanding Fishman Electronics
As if this ukulele wasn’t cool enough, the onboard Kula Pick-up from Fishman electronics give you the option to plug in and let it ring out loud. The Kula features a Sonicore pickup with onboard preamp. You can adjust the tone coming through the pickup with the volume and 3-band EQ control knobs. It also has a built in digital tuner on the control panel. With this system, you’ll be ready to play anytime, anyplace.
