I can't seem to find one on their website, only an all solid Mahogany. Seems odd they wouldn't make one, yes?
Does Kala make a solid Mahogany top, laminate side/back tenor ukulele?

Had a friend who had exactly that, in a baritone, which makes me think it's VERY likely to be a part of their tenor line!!

That's were I've gotten my Makala Pineapple (a special order) and Concert ukuleles and the two Ukadelics I bought for gifting. All that to say I'm now a loyal customer.

I can't seem to find one. There are plenty of "all mahogany body" options, though.
The only solid mahogany top / laminate side and back one I can find is the Cordoba 20TM but there seems to be a lot of mixed reviews. In case anyone is wondering, I don't want the maintenance issues I would have with all solid construction.

Hi, optofonik,
"There are plenty of "all mahogany body" options, though."
I can't help but notice that it does not say all SOLID mahogany body," which it should if it is all solid construction... have U tried caling someone at Kala?

Probably should do that. At $165 msrp for a Tenor I can't imagine anything other than a laminate top. The Cordoba, aimed at a comparable market, has a msrp of $215. At this general price point I wonder how much it really matters.

The new Gretsch has a solid mahogany top and laminated body, and HMS gives them good reviews. Probably the same as the Cordoba and Ohana's.

According to the Gretsch website specs the "Standard" is all laminate and the "Deluxe" is all solid. HMS does give them good marks, however.

Yep. I got an Ohana TK-20 from Mim and love it. Solid Mahogany top with mahogany laminate sides. Great sound for the price.
She usually has a couple on hand. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIM-Ohana-T...147?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a26009a53
Good luck

Went for a Kala Solid Top Golden Acacia on sale at HMS. If that's not a keeper, I'll look into the Ohana TK-20. Thanks everyone.
