John Kitakis

Ko’olau Guitar & Ukulele Company

John Kitakis bade adieu to mainland USA in the ’70s to settle in Hawaii (tough choice!), where he eventually met his wife, raised a family, then incorporated them into his stringed instrument business, Ko’olau Guitars and Ukuleles. He has been a Guild member nineteen of the last twenty-four years.
