GL1 Guitalele Mini Acoustic Guitar, Black

wow what an exciting instrument.Body is about the size of a tenor ukesounds very uke, but plays like guitar. I bought this for my son who is a beginner and it is literally perfect for him.The fret board and instrument size make it easy to use for all sizes.Plus its a yamaha so great quality great functionality and great value for money

I bought this as a travel / practise guitar as I don't like taking my Ramirez out of its case unless necessary and the Guitalele is about the cheapest on the market. It's a lot of fun to play and is good for practising whilst watching TV, oh and girls think it's cute. I have now changed the nut for a full size and changed the saddle and cut grooves in it so it's full width there too without changing the action height. I'm going to put a tenor ukelele rosette on it and eventually some black treble strings, cause it does look good. I have temporarily put some D'Addario extra high tension strings on it (leftovers) as the strings it comes with go out of tune really quick. It now sounds better and plays better (ok the strings are a little too wide apart for the neck but I cope), and I do enjoy tinkling on this when not playing my main guitar. I figure it's good for learning all the notes from fifth fret onwards (on full size as this is tuned in A), and it's good for repetitively going through scales, arpeggios and tremolo technique etc... I do play tunes on it too, but personally for me it's better for practise of technique. If you leave the set up as it is, it will tighten up your technique, it makes a full size fretboard look huge so you do begin to realise how much room you actually have to play with. So quite a few good things about it, I'd give it five stars if it sounded better, but for 50 odd quid I'll enjoy it for some time.

An impressive little guitar that bridges the gap between tenor ukulele and parlour guitar. A sweet tone and fairly good intonation for a tiny 6 string instrument.The best travel sized guitar available on the market for portability and playability alike.

Great little guitar.good sound for its size.but it's not loud so great for practise and play if you live in a flat.cuz however much you love your guitar playing your neighbor's won't be as enthusiastic if they can hear it all night long.tuned mine as a guitar eadgbe and sounds better than the recommended tuning.because the fretboard is only a foot long is great for hand eye coordination. But having said that the frets and strings are alot closer together so more Accurate finger work is needed.i also like the matte finish.very very happy with everything.fast delivery and well packed too.

I bought this with the aim of teaching a seven year old some basic chords. I realised my mistake as soon as I unboxed. It has a regular sized neck and isn't the same as a junior size guitar.Saying that, it's a really good guitarlele. It's well made and has a great sound. We will just have to persevere and do what we can, whilst her hands grow!

This thing is so much fun to play, I love it. First time leaving a review for anything, I can't recommend it enough. Tuned down to G instead of the factory A, gives a little more slack on the strings and plays more like a guitar. Messed around playing blues, some classical pieces, had it in various open tunings and it just plays like a little guitar!

Superb value musical instrument. If you want a guitar that you can't put down buy this. Great for practice and a delightful sound to jam along with your mates, in order for your keys to match a regular tuned guitar will have to sport a capo on the 5th. My only gripe is the frets are too small for my large fingers!

I like the sound of a ukulele and already own guitars so bought this quirky little instrument for a bit of fun. It’s well made and the tone is pleasant to the ear. It’s small enough to pack for travelling too. Only suitable for smaller hands/slim fingers.

ウクレレとギターのいいとこ取り、まさにギタレレですね。少し胴厚が厚いですが、テナーサイズのウクレレのように脇に抱えて演奏できます。この価格の楽器としては十分に満足できるクオリティーだと思います。とても気に入りました。弦を交換すればもっといい音になるのかも知れませんが、元の弦の響きも良いです。早速、外に持ち出して演奏を楽しみました。軽やかで透明感も感じられるサウンドでいつまでも弾いていたくなります。

As expected of Yamaha, the GL1 guitalele is a high quality product that is definitely worth the price. Straight out of its nice carrying case, the instrument is ready to play as soon as you tune it. Great build, Soothing sound, and comfortable to grip, the Guitalele is great for beginners, children, and even adults who are just trying a more portable option for a guitar.

I bought this for my son to learn guitar. He was learning ukulele and I want him to transition to guitar so I got this. After using it for 2 months, I have tuned it to guitar tunes so it's small enough for him to use it as a guitar. This was a great purchase and the seller was super nice when I had difficulties. 5 star to both seller and product.

Dimension 4/4 un peu petite. Ais c'est ok pour certains ...

Die Guitalele ist praktisch für unterwegs und klingt überraschend sauber und voll, wenn man sich mal an die (für einen "Normalgitarristen) engen Bünde gewöhnt hat und alles sauber greifen kann. Das Griffbrett ist bis zum 14. Bund geschmeidig bespielbar, darüber muss man sich mit dem Korpus arrangieren. Das ist kein Kritikpunkt, da von vorneherein ersichtlich und warscheinlich eher relevant, wenn man die Guitalele wie eine Gitarre stimmt (E,A,D,G,H,E) und spielt, was der einzige(!) Modus ist, den ich getestet habe. Einziger Kritikpunkt für mich, der die ansonsten gute Haptik stört und daher auch zu einem Stern Abzug führt: Die Bundstäbe sind an ihren Aussenkanten relativ scharfkantig. Das gleiche gilt für die Ecken der Befestigung des Stegs. Hier ist für Yamaha noch etwas Luft nach oben (eventuell für die GL2...?). Auf hohem Niveau gemeckert, wäre ein Gurt an der Tasche wünschenswert.Alles in Allem ein scheines kleines Instrument. Würde ich wieder kaufen...
