Yamaha GL1 Tobacco Brown Sunburst

Buying an instrument unseen and unplayed is always a risk but my wife's birthday was coming up and we were in lockdown because of COVID-19 and had no access to music shops. As Yamaha have a good reputation I thought this would be good enough to determine if it was worth getting a quality one a quality one later if she liked it and cheap enough to not hurt if it just didn't suit her.
I was simply not expecting it to look, feel or sound as good as it does.

I 've got one of these as a gift couple of years ago and immediately fell in love with it. After a while wanted to upgrade to 300$ one because of electronics and just my own curiosity.
Got the expensive one and returned it, ordered back another YAMAHA and saved 250¤.
There's absolutely nothing bad about this great little instrument, and if you need to plug it in, get a external clip on pickup for 10¤.
i will probably get few more to live them at my folks, car, beach house etc...

It works great as a mini-guitar for traveling. Tuned it EADGBE by lowering each string and putting a higher gauge E string as a low-E. Obviously the Guitalele is nowhere near as loud as a dreadnought, but it is great for by the campfire or anywhere on the road and it stays in tune perfectly.

Great instrument for just picking up and playing.

Yamaha quality and Thoman reliability.Perfect package and fast parcel.Sounds perfect like ukulele but you can play like guitar.amazing.
