Refined

The Diamond ʻUkulele is a masterpiece of precision and symbolism, brought to life by the unique Kailua Beach Sand inlays that adorn its fretboard, side markers, and logo. The crowning jewel is the diamond inlay at the 12th fret, inspired by Kaimana Souza’s shoulder tattoo, a reflection of his connection to his name and his Hawaiian heritage. These sand inlays are more than decorative—they embody a piece of Kailua, grounding the instrument in the beauty of its birthplace. With every touch, the Diamond ʻukulele radiates refined craftsmanship and a profound sense of place, making it not just an instrument, but a personal connection to Hawaiʻi’s spirit and culture.

Innovative

The Diamond ʻUkulele sets a new standard with its ultra-thin Cobra Slotted Headstock, a true marvel of design and engineering. Developed in collaboration with world-renowned tuner manufacturer Gotoh, this exclusive headstock is not only sleek and lightweight but also delivers exceptional functionality. The precision tuners are crafted specifically for Kanileʻa, ensuring a flawless fit and effortless adjustments.

What sets this design apart is its straight string alignment off the nut, which creates even string tension for improved tuning stability and enhanced resonance. The thin profile of the headstock reduces weight while maintaining durability, allowing for a perfectly balanced instrument that’s a joy to play. This groundbreaking design showcases Kanileʻa’s dedication to blending innovation with tradition, offering a truly unique ʻukulele experience.
