Yamaha GL1 Guitalele Guitar Uke - Black

The Yamaha GL1 Guitalele is a versatile hybrid instrument that combines the fun, portable feel of a ukulele with the six-string range of a classical guitar.

It’s an ideal choice for ukulele players curious about the guitar, parents introducing children to music, or anyone searching for a reliable travel guitar that doesn’t compromise on sound.

Compact Size, Impressive Sound

Despite its small build, the Yamaha Guitalele delivers a full and resonant tone. Built with a spruce top and meranti back and sides, this instrument offers warmth, clarity, and excellent projection.

The carefully selected tonewoods provide a balanced sound profile, making it suitable for everything from delicate fingerpicking to lively strumming.

Designed for Beginners and Travelling Musicians

Similar in size to a baritone ukulele but tuned like a guitar (A to A), the GL1 makes the transition between instruments seamless.

Its lightweight body and reduced scale length make it easy to handle, perfect for young learners, players with smaller hands, or musicians looking for a portable guitar to take on the road.

Smooth and Comfortable Playability

Crafted with a nato neck and a sonokeling fingerboard, the GL1 ensures smooth fretting and comfortable playability.

The shorter scale length encourages precise finger placement and easy chord changes, helping beginners build confidence while giving experienced players a natural feel when switching between ukulele and guitar.

Stylish Finish and Extra Protection

The Yamaha GL1 is finished in a classic black finish with a protective lacquer coating, offering durability against humidity and everyday use while maintaining a polished, stylish look.

To keep your instrument safe on the go, it also comes with a Yamaha-branded gig bag, adding convenience and extra protection for travel or storage.
