Kohala Deluxe Solid Top Concert Acoustic Electric Ukulele - 2025 Version

This is a previous-generation model — new old stock, at a clearance price. Brand new and unplayed; the specs below are that generation's.

Acacia has long been one of the most popular tonewoods used on higher end ukuleles and it's easy to see why. Visually striking and tonally rich, each piece of acacia has its own characteristics, making each instrument built with it unique. For our Kohala Deluxe series, we have paired the all acacia body with abalone style purfling and rosette and flame maple binding. The installed UK-500T pickup system includes a built in tuner with 3-band EQ and is powered by included lightweight CR2032 batteries. As with all Honolua Ukuleles, it includes premium features designed to produce the best tone possible at an affordable price, including solid acacia top for greater volume and better tone, bone nut and saddle for better clarity and sustain, quality open gear tuners and eco-friendly wood selections.

The course that comes with it is the reason this one doesn't sit in a corner. A better instrument makes practising more enjoyable; the free Honolua Starter Course is what tells you what to practise, and has you playing songs your family will recognize within days of opening the case. Six sections built for someone who has never played, and sixteen play-along songs once you've finished them. Go at your own pace, and keep it for life.

Kohala Series

The Kohala has all of the aesthetic upgrades of the Mano, including solid top, maple binding, gold tuners, and dual strap pins, but it's built with acacia wood instead of mahogany. Acacia is revered for its beautiful, full tone and we've added abalone-style trim around the body.

Size — Concert

Currently the most popular body size, the concert ukulele is slightly longer, and the body is slightly bigger than the soprano, at 24". This provides a bit more space for fingers on the fingerboard. It will sound quite similar, tonally, to the soprano, but the slightly larger body will produce a little more volume and depth thanks to the larger resonating chamber. We suggest the concert model for anyone seeking the traditional ukulele tone, but who may be a little more comfortable with a bigger body.
