I had been enjoying my mahogany top Kala and decided to go all the way with a solid mahogany Pono. Both are baritones.
I was really surprised today to receive the Pono and find that the Kala sounds much fuller. The only adjustable difference I really noticed was the strings on the Pono are much more tense. So I swapped them. Same result.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with wood top/laminate body beating a solid wood instrument? The difference is unbelievable.
Honestly I’m bummed because I was psyched to upgrade and get that coveted Pono name on the headstock.
