Yamaha GL1 Tobacco Brown Sunburst Reviews

Not a toy.

Great instrument for just picking up and playing.

Surprised!

Buying an instrument unseen and unplayed is always a risk but my wife's birthday was coming up and we were in lockdown because of COVID-19 and had no access to music shops. As Yamaha have a good reputation I thought this would be good enough to determine if it was worth getting a quality one a quality one later if she liked it and cheap enough to not hurt if it just didn't suit her.

I was simply not expecting it to look, feel or sound as good as it does.

Travel mini-guitar

It works great as a mini-guitar for traveling. Tuned it EADGBE by lowering each string and putting a higher gauge E string as a low-E. Obviously the Guitalele is nowhere near as loud as a dreadnought, but it is great for by the campfire or anywhere on the road and it stays in tune perfectly.

The best !

I 've got one of these as a gift couple of years ago and immediately fell in love with it. After a while wanted to upgrade to 300$ one because of electronics and just my own curiosity.

Got the expensive one and returned it, ordered back another YAMAHA and saved 250¤.

There's absolutely nothing bad about this great little instrument, and if you need to plug it in, get a external clip on pickup for 10¤.

i will probably get few more to live them at my folks, car, beach house etc...
