B-stock Kala KA-SCAC-C Solid Cedar Top Acacia Back and Sides Concert Ukulele
The new KA-SCAC-C concert ukulele with a solid cedar top and acacia back and sides really impressed us here at the Southern Ukulele Store. Kala keep coming up with absolute belters!
This listing shows the actual b-stock KA-SCAC-C Kala concert ukulele you will receive. This one has a couple of cracks in the gloss where the neck meets the top bout (see pics). This by no means affects the playing or structural integrity of the instrument itself and is purely a cosmetic issue.
The Kala KA-ACP-CTG has long been the benchmark other brands have worked against when designing the perfect affordable concert ukulele. The combination of cedar and acacia is not revolutionary so much as it is an evolutionary chapter in the history of the ukulele. If you want a confident sound suitable for complex noodling, fingerpicking, classical or just a good loud strummer; Kala have had this model up their arsenal.
Switching the red padauk binding to a darker, more elegant looking rosewood is a lovely touch as well that gives the ukulele a more grown up feel to match the sound it produces.
With the paddle headstock comes the geared/friction tuners from Graphtech which are outstanding, lightweight tuners capable of giving an instrument an entirely different feel. It all sounds a bit emperors new clothes but once you try one for yourself, you will wish all your ukuleles had these tuners!
Finally, Kala have changed the neck and headstock to satin but kept the body as a high gloss so you get the feel of a lived instrument and the sound and brightness of a spangly bright new one at the same time.
