Yamaha Gl1 Guitalele Review: The Best Travel Guitar Ever!

[@eolden7749]

Yamaha does make very good finished instruments. Very plain Jane. Makes you want to put stickers on it.

I have heard that you can string a Guitalele and tune it just like a regular guitar. This is accomplished by using strings suitable for a 1/4 size guitar. (Fractional FG114) LaBella sells a set of strings suitable for this. My wife recently started playing the ukulele and I have been play guitar most of my life and thought the Guitalele would be a fun instrument to play along with her and perhaps later on change to regular guitar tuning. I just ordered the Yamaha yesterday and look forward to some good times with it. 🙂 Good Video

The solid wood top looks like the back

... and it's laminate!

I have one, like it a lot. Good quality for the money. BUT if you buy one get a safer bag.

[@AgavePiper]

Awesome! Thanks for the review

Does the case have backpack straps on it? you only showed one side :(

[@smsedlak8856]

Don't like the gig bag. Instrument excellent!

[@rickberry899]

Does the GL1 have a truss rod? Thank you.

👍👍👍

[@reflexreaction3797]

well, obviously the other, related drawback is the trebly sound, compared to full size.

[@TheRealestIdealist]

That’s more of a preference than an actual drawback, because uke players specifically want that sound.

you forgot to just ... play it! -.-
