Guitalele Yamaha GL1 PB Persimmon Brown

Half guitar, half ukulele, the Yamaha GL1 PB guitalele is 100% fun. With Permission Brown finish. This nylon six-string mini guitar has the dimensions of a baritone ukulele and plays like a standard guitar with the known chord positions, as the tuning is a fourth higher than the traditional guitar tuning: A - D - G - C - E - A. In other words, it's like playing a guitar tuned normally but with a dash on the fifth fret.
 
Yamaha ensured that, despite its reduced dimensions, the Yamaha GL1 PB guitalele had the sound of a great instrument, using very affordable materials and the best construction techniques. For the top he chose spruce (spruce) and meranti for the back and sides, a wood similar to mahogany. This guarantees the Yamaha GL1 PB not only structural integrity but also good sound definition and sustain.

The neck is in nato, a hard and resistant wood, with a rosewood fingerboard, the same material that the bridge is made of. Although the frets are closer together than on a full-size guitar, the Yamaha GL1 PB guitalele is very comfortable and fun to play whatever the size of your hand, whatever your level.

It is an ideal instrument for beginners to the six strings, as well as for travelling, to have on hand in a festival tent or to practice and develop the technique of more advanced musicians. And, because it is in a different tuning, it can be an interesting complement for creating new sounds in your music, solo or together with traditional guitars.

The Yamaha GL1 PB guitalele comes with a custom-made bag for carrying everywhere and for safe, protective storage when not being played.

Yamaha is one of the largest manufacturers of musical instruments and one of the most recognized brands by musicians and the industry for its high quality products. The Yamaha GL1 PB guitalele is the result of knowledge transmitted through generations, under the supervision of master builders in the manufacture and in the transmission of skills to the brand's workers, who apply their knowledge in the manufacture of string instruments every day, in all the process steps.
