Lovely tiny little guitar

You want the classic guitar experience, but can't be bothered to take the big Guitar? Then have some fun with this tiny thing, great price, great quality, really enjoyable sound, just wish it had a Piezo Pickup like my Ukebass, probably going to order a kit and modify my Ukeguitar.

The UkeBass and UkeGuitar now tend to live right beside me on my sofa, for easy grab and play when I have an Idea, just remember that the Ukeguitar plays as if you had a Capo on the 5th fret of a classic guitar.

cheap but good!

it's a good toy, a little too simple in details and in varnish, I would expect at least a rosette around the hole ...

highly recommend aquila red series strings (keeps the tuning in A and the sound became deep and full)

Tuners works quite well... and the woods are touch-pleasing. you cannot expect more at this price.

Fun instrument to play

This Guitalele was a gift, so I played it only few days.

Cons: build quality is a bit worse than what one might expect seeing photos of Yamaha GL1. No color and no lacquer on a few spots on the back of the body and overall finish could be much better.

Pros: very playable instrument and a lot of fun to play. Sound is OK. It is lightweight and easy to carry around.

Even though build finish is subpar, I would recommend this instrument.

erg tevreden met deze guitalele!

Erg goede guitalele voor een beginner. Zeker in vergelijking met de prijs ervan! Mooie klank en afwerking.

Why do I have this only now?

It's just a lot of fun to play, it has it's own tone characteristic being all solid wood and I could even record sounding pretty decent. Since it's so small it turns out to be the one which is picked up all the time and played on the most.

low quality strings

my G string was worn badly after 2 days of playing, everything is fine other than that. recommend purchasing extra strings to replace to the original ones
