I am very happy with my Kala KA-TG Tenor, which I got locally including a chromatic tuner for $109 out the door after taxes. Its got great tone (to my beginners ears) and nice easy to play action. I did have a slight problem with a fret at first, but fixed it, and I am sure the dealer would have exchanged it if I hadn't. Mine was on sale and did not come with a case.
