The Kanileʻa KPA GL6 Core SN. 29107 is a 6-string guitalele designed for players seeking a crossover instrument between a ukulele and a guitar. Crafted entirely from Deluxe Grade Hawaiian Koa for the body, this model delivers both visual elegance and robust tonal resonance.
The neck is made from a single piece of genuine mahogany and is paired with an ebony fingerboard and bridge for durability and a smooth playing experience. Adorned with Pāua Abalone inlays on the logo and position markers, the instrument is both visually striking and professional-grade. Additional features include tortoise plastic binding and a thick Pāua Abalone rosette.
The KPA GL6 utilizes Kanileʻa's TRU-R Bracing System for enhanced sound clarity, while the radiused back improves acoustic projection. The open-geared Chrome tuners with a precise 16:1 ratio ensure stable tuning. The UV-cured gloss finish on the body and silk finish on the neck enhance the overall playability and aesthetic appeal.
This guitalele is strung with a Worth Fluorocarbon and GHS Phosphor Bronze GL6 string set, providing a well-balanced tone for various musical styles. The instrument comes with a premium carrying case for added protection and portability during travel.
