A true local timber, expertly built — the Kala KA-SAB-T-CE puts Australian Blackwood front and centre.
This Limited Edition tenor ukulele from Kala is built entirely from solid Australian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) — top, back, and sides — one of the most prized tonewoods for its striking figure and warm, resonant voice. It's a standout instrument both visually and sonically, and a fitting choice for a store built around genuine, quality gear.
The cutaway body gives easy access to the upper frets, while onboard Fishman Kula electronics mean you can plug straight into an amp or PA without fuss. A slotted headstock and vintage-style Kala tuners with butterbean buttons round out the classic, handcrafted look.
