Kala Ka-Eby-Te With Gigbag Tenor Striped Ebony Series

Striped Ebony: Natural Aesthetics at the Heart of the Kala Range

With the Striped Ebony series, Kala highlights an organic visual identity: a dark, satin, and very "authentic" finish, enhanced by the maple binding and rosette. This approach targets musicians who want an instrument with a strong style, without glossy varnish, while maintaining a neat and modern presentation.

For Which Musician and Styles?

This Tenor electro-acoustic format is particularly suited for beginner to intermediate musicians looking for a comfortable, versatile, and easily amplifiable instrument. The tenor size generally offers more ease for wide stretches and a noticeable sound presence, ideal for vocal accompaniment, acoustic pop, light folk, reggae, or fingerpicking. The Aquila Super Nylgut strings provide a soft and reassuring feel, perfect for developing right/left hand coordination.

Sound

The ebony top contributes to a precise response, with a well-defined attack and a sense of clarity in articulation. The satin finish promotes a pleasant touch and natural handling, while the GraphTech NuBone nut/saddle pair helps efficiently transmit string energy, supporting clarity and balance across the entire range. Once plugged in, the electronics with the UK-300TR preamp allow for a usable amplified sound, convenient for playing in a band or on small stages.
