Yamaha GL1 Guitalele

I bought this guitalele a few years ago not knowing what to expect. Turns out that it is a really nice practice guitar, it is easy to bring on travels or use when sitting in front of the computer etc. I also have a Harley Benton steel string acoustic guitar but I reach for this one much more often.
It?s also ideal to buy for a kid learning to play the guitar (or someone with smaller fingers, like me), since the reachability is a lot better than on an ordinary guitar. Also, the value is excellent, you do not need to spend a lot to still get the ability to practice your dexterity and fingering etc.
Do mind that the tuning is different than on a normal guitar, the low and high notes are A instead of E. It might be possible to tune it to standard tuning, perhaps you need different strings for that though (have not tried it myself). Steel strings might be nice, it comes with nylon strings.
All in all, this is definitely not a toy and I recommend buying it for anyone looking for an affordable, easy to play guitar that is also easy to bring with you when you are travelling.

I bought this little guitalele a few years ago to bring along on a trip. Figured I didn't want to spend too much money on it, but didn't want to waste my money on something barely playable either.

Since then, it's still found its way into my hands quite often and has tagged along for numerous other trips.

For the price, you get something that plays well and will last. There are some intonation issues in mine, but open chords are hassle-free. The intonation could probably be fixed with a bit of work.

All in all, definitely playable and certainly better than the useless stuff you'd find in a toy store!
