I used to own their solid top acacia model, therefore I have the same doubts.
I checked and it says this:
Size: Tenor
Top: Solid Spruce
Back & Sides: Solid Ovangkol

Though it's way overpriced compared to the solid Koa Gretsch I posted earlier, and due to to the Gretsch deep body I have yet to find a Kala that comes close in tone and playability.
