Kala Tenor Guitar

I have owned several Kala ukuleles over the years, in all shapes and sizes. I often play music with friends who play guitars, and even with a pick-up and amp, the uke is hard to hear. That's no longer the case, as the Tenor Guitar is equipped with steel strings that project with a beautiful, chimey resonance. I restrung mine in a traditional GCEA format, so I was able to play the day I had it. Its a true bargain, stays in tune, and I like the classic look of the spruce top. I love the sound of this guitar so much, I'm considering adding a 2nd, in a different tuning....

I use this tenor guitar as an octave mandolin with four strings, I also use nylon strings. and there is no loss of good tone quality in the change from steel to nylon. The build and finish rate is just super given the price point, you couldn't ask for more. I've done my share of personal set up and touch up tricks as I've been a guitar repairman for over 50 years. The size and scale length make this guitar full of possibilities. Glad I bought it, Kala lives i Petaluma Ca. and I lived there for many years................................you can't go wrong with this company ! Brandt Larsen

This guitar is very well finished, has excellent tone, and playability was great right out of the box. The scale length is a little shorter than traditional tenor guitars, but that is really not a negative. Also, the padded gig bag that it ships in is better than most you can purchase for a tenor guitar!

Very good quality for the price. The fit and finish as good as a mini martin or baby taylor. It is small think parlor sized guitar. With its well padded gig bag it travels well. Its small scale fretboard comes in handy when playing in fifths. It can also be tuned to an open G which can make strumming real easy. I was real sorry to have to sell it a few months ago for some much needed cash. It seems to be out of stock now, and I am having to make do with a more expensive and lesser tenor. If you can find one get it you will not be sorry.

As they say, it works much better tuned in fifths. Specifically designed for that tuning.
