Kala Solid Cedar Top Acacia Tenor Cutaway Ukulele
Kala Solid Cedar Top Acacia Tenor Cutaway Ukulele w/EQ | Fishman Kula Matrix
Instrument Type: 4-string tenor acoustic-electric ukulele with Venetian cutaway
Neck Specifications: Solid mahogany neck with a comfortable standard profile, high-gloss finish, and stable set-in neck joint
Body Material: Solid cedar top, laminated acacia back and sides, real rosewood binding, head-turning abalone rosette, and high-gloss polyurethane finish
Pickup Configuration: Under-saddle pickup linked to a side-mounted Fishman Kula preamp system with integrated volume and tone routing
Hardware & Bridge: Rosewood bridge, black Graph Tech Ratio precision geared tuning machines, and factory-installed standard strap button accommodations
Scale & Nut Width: 16.875-inch (428mm) scale length, 1.4375-inch (36.5mm) Graph Tech NuBone nut, and 18 frets on a rosewood fretboard with white dot inlays
High-Performance Ergonomics and Resonant Tonewood Architecture
Advanced Tenor Cutaway Geometry and Rosewood Trim Boundaries
The physical foundation of this model bridges vintage tracking comfort with elite performance tolerances. Built on an optimized tenor scale framework, the body incorporates a smooth Venetian cutaway that sweeps down from the upper shoulder. This structural design lets the performer's hand navigate cleanly up to the 18th fret without colliding with raw body binding, expanding upper-register tracking capability for complex melodic arrangements. The body perimeter is securely trimmed in real rosewood binding and accented by a premium abalone rosette, reinforcing the high-gloss acoustic assembly against climate shifts while focusing sound reflections directly out of the top board.
Select Solid Cedar Soundboard and Figured Acacia Backing
The body architecture utilizes a solid North American cedar soundboard finished in a brilliant mirror-gloss coat, paired with resonant acacia back and sides. Renowned for its immediate touch responsiveness and soft, lush tone, the solid cedar top is specifically optimized for fingerstylists, delivering a warm acoustic footprint stacked with rich harmonic sustain and natural, loud projection out of the box. The acacia back and sides complement this by tightening mid-range frequencies, providing all the structural balance and crisp articulation needed to slice through a dense live mix without introducing muddy sub-frequency crowding.
Advanced Projection Dynamics and Integrated Utility Electronics
Under-Saddle Energy Coupling and Graphic Equalization
Sonically anchored by the cedar soundboard, the onboard electronics introduce an expansive performance profile optimized for direct line-level sound reinforcement and zero-latency studio tracking. Positioned securely beneath a compensated Graph Tech NuBone saddle, the high-sensitivity pickup captures raw acoustic movements and individual string vibrations with exceptional, non-compressed fidelity. The signal path links natively to a premium side-mounted Fishman Kula preamp system, which houses an onboard 3-band graphic equalizer. This multi-band configuration gives musicians direct tactical control over independent bass, middle, and treble tone sliders to sculpt their frequency voice in real time before hitting house direct boxes or mixing consoles.
Black Graph Tech Ratio Tuners and Balanced Mechanical Seating
The tuning infrastructure relies on a premium set of lightweight, black Graph Tech Ratio tuning machines mounted onto a standard profile headstock. These specialized tuners deploy a unique internal gear ratio calibrated specifically for each individual string string-weight, allowing for lightning-fast pitch adjustments and rock-solid tuning stability when driving factory-installed Aquila Super Nylgut strings. A discrete surface-mounted battery compartment provides rapid access for power adjustments without requiring invasive hardware removal, while an integrated digital chromatic tuner automatically mutes the output signal when engaged to guarantee quiet on-stage tuning routines.
