Kala Jazz Archtop Sunburst KA-JTE/2TS Ukulele
RatingsThe jazz archtop, with its sunburst design and f-holes, is Kala's most distinctive ukulele. It's looks have made it massively popular (with more than a little help from its use by Christofer Drew Ingle). Along with the quality of the build, it makes it a good uke to pick up.
The archtop comes with a pickup and is only available in tenor size.

One Comment
I own this instrument. I like the radius on the fretboard, and the clear, balanced, articulate sound. It is missing the fullness on the bottom end that my other tenor has, but it is a great choice when I am playing uke in the jazz trio. It cuts nicely. I bought a pick guard for it on ebay that looks great and doesn’t interfere at all with playability. It is fun when the trio plays and we all have f-hole instruments–gibson archtop, upright bass, and uke!
