The Kanilea K-1 GL6 Natural is a six-string guitalele, blending the tonal warmth of a nylon-string guitar with the compact form of the ukulele. Its solid construction features Select Grade Hawaiian Koa for both the top and body, a premium tonewood delivering rich resonance and projection. The solid mahogany neck offers stability, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge contribute to smooth playability and durability.
The instrument is finished with a UV-cured gloss on the body, designed for enhanced aesthetics and longevity, while the neck has a silky smooth finish for comfort. Standout features include Kanileʻa's TRU-R Bracing System, meant to improve tonal clarity and sustain, as well as a radiused back for better projection. The white Mother of Pearl inlay markers and Kanileʻa Crown Headstock design add elegance.
Equipped with Kanileʻa Open Geared Chrome tuners and a combo string set of Worth Fluorocarbon and GHS Phosphor Bronze, it ensures precise tuning and a balanced tonal output. The K-1 GL6 comes with an Oha Gig Case, providing protection for this high-end, Hawaiian-crafted instrument.
