Each year’s Platinum ‘Ukulele represents the pinnacle of our innovation and serves as a platform to debut all-new designs and capabilities. From our bevel cutaway to TRU-Relief, every major Kanile’a innovation has made their first appearance on our Platinum series ‘ukuleles before being used as standard features in other instruments. The Platinum series represents the highest elevation of Kanile’a each year, and is a showcase for our future.

With the launch of the KG-5 Guitar, developed with the full suite of innovations first explored in our Platinum series instruments, we designed the 2024 Platinum to celebrate our path to this moment. From the new Platinum headstock and custom fretboard purfling to the Master Grade Koa body with TRU-Relief and Komo ‘Ekolu side sound port, each detail matches the KG-5 to create a truly stunning pair of instruments.
