Your Local Hawaii Music Store for Guitars, ʻUkulele & Stringed Instruments

Whether you're picking up your very first instrument or you've been playing for decades, having the right music store makes all the difference. At Kanileʻa ʻUkulele & Guitar in Kāneʻohe, Hawaiʻi, we've built our store around one simple idea: create a place where stringed instrument players can find everything they need under one roof.

We started as an ʻukulele manufacturer in 1998, handcrafting Kanileʻa ʻukulele here in Hawaiʻi. Over the years, musicians continued asking us for more. They wanted guitars. They needed strings. They needed amps, pedals, cases, straps, and accessories. They wanted a place where they could compare instruments side by side and get honest advice from people who actually play them.

Today, that's exactly what we've become.

Premium Guitar Brands

We're proud to carry some of the most respected names in the industry, including PRS, Fender, Takamine, and Ernie Ball.

Whether you're searching for your next electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, or a guitar built for the stage, we'll help you find the instrument that feels right in your hands.

Hawaiʻi's Home for ʻUkulele

Of course, ʻukulele are still at the heart of everything we do.

As the makers of Kanileʻa ʻUkulele, we're able to offer one of the largest selections of Kanileʻa instruments anywhere in the world. We also carry our family of brands, including Islander, Oha, and Oli, making it easy to find an instrument whether you're just beginning or looking for a lifetime instrument.
