Blem Disclaimer

A “blem” instrument refers to an instrument that is completely functional and playable, but has one or more cosmetic flaws. This can range from a slight scratch or scratches, to a ding on the headstock, discoloration, or other visible flaws. The instruments in this section have blemishes and therefore are being offered at a discount. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, please contact us within 10 days to return it for a refund. Cost of shipping applies.

The Archtop line has a classic jazzy look that is embellished with stylish F-holes. Inspired by authentic vintage styled guitars, we’ve turned our favorite concepts into beautiful ukuleles. One of many factors that sets our Archtops above all other F-hole style ukuleles on the market is in fact the arched top. Originally, a key feature of violin and now guitar and mandolin, an archtop instrument is a work of art. Not only does it take a skilled luthier to create, but it makes a louder punchier instrument. We’ve taken time and care to create the most authentic and superior ukulele of its kind.

Lovely little instrument!!

Firstly, this is the second “blemished” instrument that I have bought from Kala and I couldn’t figure out what the blemish was either time. This arched top tenor is both beautiful to look at, but more importantly, beautiful sounding. It projects pretty well unplugged and has lovely tone. It’s neck has excellent action and intonation throughout. If you have the opportunity to buy a Kala from the blemished sale, don’t hesitate, you will be glad you did!!
