Common questions
Is the Kala SSEBY-B-CE solid wood or laminate?

Does the Kala SSEBY-B-CE have a pickup?
Yes. The Kala SSEBY-B-CE has a built-in Fishman Kula preamp that runs on a 9V battery, plus a cutaway for reaching the higher frets.
How is the Kala SSEBY-B-CE tuned?
The Kala SSEBY-B-CE is tuned D-G-B-E with a low D, the same as the top four strings of a guitar, so guitar chord shapes work on it.
What is the difference between the Kala SSEBY-B-CE and the SSEBY-B?
Both have a solid spruce top with striped ebony back and sides. The SSEBY-B-CE adds a cutaway and a Fishman Kula preamp; the SSEBY-B is acoustic only.
Where is the Kala SSEBY-B-CE made?
The Kala SSEBY-B-CE is made in China.
Who is the Kala SSEBY-B-CE for?
The Kala SSEBY-B-CE suits guitar players moving to ukulele and anyone who wants a deeper ukulele voice, since it is tuned like the top four strings of a guitar. Its solid spruce top gives a bright and clear sound with more volume and depth than an all-laminate ukulele. The built-in pickup lets you plug into an amp or PA for gigs, open mics and recording.
