Custom Kanile’a Tenor Ukulele

Beautiful Custom Slotted-headstock Kanile`a Tenor Ukulele handcrafted by luthier Joseph Souza of Kailua, Hawaii. Kanile`a instruments are highly sought after, especially the custom models and continue to be loved by weekend musicians, recording artists, and recreational players alike.

This beautiful custom Kanile`a is handcrafted from rare and desirable premium tone wood, birdseye maple back and sides with master grade Hawaiian curly koa soundboard. The fingerboard and bridge are crafted from premium ebony wood. The instrument has a fourteen fret joint to the body and nineteen overall frets to the soundhole, a gorgeous ebony wood top and back binding with elegant paua shell top purfling and matching rosette. Hawaiian ‘Honu’ or sea turtle inlay on fretboard for aesthetic appeal. Slotted-headstock and open-geared Grover tuners for precise tuning. Nubone nut and saddle, and gorgeous and durable UV cured high gloss finish.

This instrument is a phenomenal player ukulele. The uke is also remarkably light for a slotted-headstock and extremely well balanced. The joints are clean and all seams are tight. The body as a whole seems to resonate and not only the soundboard. You can feel the instrument vibrate with each chord picked or strummed.

Fishman pick up for quick plug-n-play. Beautiful tones, great sustain, excellent projection from a very rare custom Kanile`a tenor ukulele from one of the world’s best tonewoods.
