Kala Solid Spruce Tenor Guitar – with Gig Bag

The Kala Solid Spruce Tenor Guitar is the perfect crossover instrument for both ukulele enthusiasts exploring guitar and guitarists looking for something fresh and compact. With its shorter scale length and lightweight design, it’s easy to handle for players with smaller hands, younger musicians, and anyone who enjoys fingerpicking or strumming with comfort.

Featuring a solid spruce top paired with Pau Ferro back and sides, this tenor guitar offers a striking visual contrast and a crisp, rich tone with excellent clarity and projection. Traditionally tuned to C-G-D-A, it also holds alternate tunings and open tunings beautifully, making it versatile across folk, bluegrass, and modern styles.

The tenor guitar has a long, eclectic history as a 4-string instrument in traditional folk and bluegrass, and it remains popular today thanks to artists like Warren Ellis and Neko Case. Kala’s modern take on the tenor guitar preserves this heritage while making it accessible to a new generation of players.

Each Kala Solid Spruce Tenor Guitar comes with a protective gig bag, making it stage- and travel-ready straight out of the box.
