KG-1 Guitar

The Kanileʻa KG-1 Guitar is a testament to Hawaiian craftsmanship, offering a perfect blend of elegance, innovation, and superior sound quality. Built with solid Hawaiian Koa for the front, back, and sides, this guitar delivers a warm, vibrant tone while showcasing the stunning natural beauty of koa wood grain. The single-piece genuine mahogany neck, along with the ebony fretboard, bridge, and headplate, ensures lasting durability and a smooth, comfortable playing experience.

Designed with a refined OOO body shape, the KG-1 Guitar provides exceptional sound projection and tonal balance. White Mother of Pearl inlays adorn the headstock, front, and side position markers, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Gotoh Black Locking Tuners guarantee precise and stable tuning, while the UV-cured natural, silk, or gloss finish accentuates the wood's natural beauty and offers a comfortable playing feel.

Equipped with Kanileʻa exclusive TRG Bracing System, this guitar achieves remarkable resonance, sustain, and tonal clarity. The graphite-infused TUSQ nut and saddle further ensure accurate intonation and smooth string action.

Comes with a premium carrying case.

All Koa Voice

Built from solid Hawaiian Koa, the KG-1 delivers a warm, balanced tone with rich midrange and natural clarity. Each piece of koa brings its own unique figure and voice, making every instrument truly one of a kind. It’s a sound that only deepens and matures over time.

Built to Resonate

Kanileʻa’s TRG-X Bracing system enhances the guitar’s natural resonance and sustain. Notes ring out clearly with strong projection and balance across the frequency range. The result is a responsive instrument that feels alive with every strum.

Refined Simplicity

The KG-1 embraces a clean, understated design that highlights the natural beauty of Hawaiian koa. Subtle appointments and thoughtful details keep the focus on craftsmanship and tone. It’s a timeless look that never goes out of style.
