Yamaha GL1 Guitalele Guitar Uke - Tobacco Sunburst

The Yamaha GL1 Guitalele is a unique cross between a ukulele and a classical guitar, delivering six-string versatility in a compact and lightweight design.

Blending the playability of a uke with the rich tonal range of a guitar, it’s the perfect option for curious ukulele players, parents encouraging children to learn music, or anyone in need of a dependable travel guitar that sounds far bigger than it looks.

Small Body, Big Sound

Do not underestimate its size. The Yamaha Guitalele Tobacco Sunburst is fitted with a spruce top and meranti back and sides, producing warm resonance with impressive clarity.

These high-quality tonewoods produce a balanced voice that handles both gentle fingerpicking and dynamic strumming with ease, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of musical styles.

Perfect for Learners and Travellers

Comparable in size to a baritone ukulele but tuned like a standard guitar (A to A), the GL1 bridges the gap between the two instruments seamlessly.

Its reduced scale and light body ensure comfortable playability, especially for beginners, young students, and players with smaller hands. For travelling musicians, this compact guitar is a reliable partner that slips easily into your luggage.

Effortless Playability

With a nato neck and a smooth sonokeling fingerboard, the GL1 offers an enjoyable playing experience.

The shorter scale length aids accurate finger placement and makes chord changes easier. It gives beginners confidence while allowing experienced musicians to transition smoothly from ukulele to guitar.

Elegant Finish with Built-in Protection

Finished in a vintage-esque Tobacco Sunburst lacquer, the Yamaha GL1 looks every bit as good as it sounds.

The durable coating guards against wear and humidity while giving the instrument a refined, vintage-inspired style. For extra peace of mind, a Yamaha-branded gig bag is included, ensuring your guitalele stays safe whether you are storing it at home or taking it on the go.
