The Yamaha GL-1 Guitalele blends the portability of a ukulele with the familiar feel of a 6-string guitar, creating a fun and versatile instrument perfect for travel, practice, or casual playing. Tuned to A (A–D–G–C–E–A), the GL-1 plays like a guitar with a capo on the 5th fret, making it easy for guitar players to pick up and start playing instantly.
Featuring a spruce top with meranti back and sides, the GL-1 delivers bright, clear tone with surprising projection for its compact size. The nato neck and rosewood fingerboard provide smooth playability, while its lightweight body makes it ideal for musicians on the go.
Whether you’re a guitarist looking for a travel companion or a ukulele player wanting extended range, the Yamaha GL-1 offers reliable craftsmanship, lively tone, and endless fun in a compact package.
