Kala Solid Spruce Top/Ebony Tenor CW EQ

A "solid spruce + mahogany" combination designed for balance

The "Solid Spruce Top Mahogany" series focuses on a highly appreciated wood duo: solid spruce for clarity and dynamics, paired with mahogany for softness and richness in the midrange. Visually, the contrast between the light top and the understated elegance of mahogany gives an instrument that is both simple, refined, and timeless.

For whom, and for which styles?

This electro-acoustic tenor format is aimed at both serious beginners and intermediate musicians seeking an inspiring and versatile instrument. It is particularly suited for vocal accompaniment, light fingerstyle, pop/folk rhythms, and acoustic atmospheres where definition, playing comfort, and musicality are desired, with the option to plug in when volume needs to be boosted.

The sound

The solid spruce top delivers a quick response, clear articulation, and a wide dynamic range: fingerstyle playing stands out with precision, and pick attacks gain presence. The mahogany back and sides add roundness, warm low-mids, and a balanced tone across the entire register. The GraphTech NuBone components (nut and saddle) contribute to efficient vibration transmission, enhancing clarity and stability, while the satin finish provides a more "natural" feel under the hand.

Recommended compatible accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, plan on a set of Aquila Super Nylgut strings identical to those factory-installed. A gig bag is available as an option for transport (make sure to choose a model suitable for the tenor format).
