Selling my Kamaka white label tenor, good condition with no cracks or major dings, just minor wear and strum marks. I don't know what year it is or its history, bought it from a private party a couple years ago. It is loud and clear and resonant like aged koa should be. The tuners are stiff to turn but I got the hang of it. The A string gets plinky above the octave, but first 11 frets on the A are good. It is priced so you can get a set-up if you want it but I've been happy using it as is. Price includes hard shell case but not the strap. I am down-sizing my uke collection, keeping a couple that have electonics, also my Fluke for travel.

This is a fantastic price for a tenor; had I not recently purchased a white whale of a vintage deluxe model for a total steal, I’d have considered this one. Love it!
 
Do you know approximately what year this is from?

I don't. I know white labels were made from 1969 to 2001. I believe the earlier models had serial numbers and some had smaller tuners than mine, so late 70's to 2001. Maybe somebody else can chime in here.
 
My baritone which I was told is from the 70s has black (maybe ebony) but and saddle, and has friction tuners that look a little different. Mine doesn’t have the “washer” looking bits when it attaches to the headstock. Maybe that means yours is a lot newer! Hard to tell on these things…
