Yamaha GL1 Mini 6-String Nylon Guitalele Black

My 14 year old loves it. She takes it to school for guitar class instead of the full size. She only wanted black so paying $40 extra for black was obnoxious. She does love the way it looks.

Speedy delivery weeks ahead of time. Best quality product!. My dad loves it! Highly recommended! ^_^

I own this same guitar in the tan wood color and it is much better quality for some reason. This one (the black version) had glue inside the sound hole that I literally had to scrape off with a thin metal letter opener. Some of the wood edging inside the sound hole also looked jagged (not smooth) and there were some wood shavings inside the guitar that I had to shake out. The top paint finish looks great everywhere except the base of he neck, where there are some spotty areas, almost like a piece of fabric touched the paint when it was wet and took some of it off. Now, of course, if you just plan on throwing this guy in the back of your car for a weekend camping trip or something, none of this will bother you.

This is a very cool and convenient instrument. It’s super easy to hold and came with a decent setup. It’s great if you want to bridge the gap between guitar and ukulele. Great for practicing in tight spaces. Great to be able to make regular guitar chord shapes with a ukulele sound. I’ve always been a fan of Yamaha’s quality for the price point. I agree with another reviewer since I ordered two of these at the same time, one natural color and this black one. The natural colored one seemed like it had a better finish and overall looked like a better instrument. I ordered the natural one as a gift and now wish I ordered myself the same one. I got the black for myself since I have a Yamaha folk guitar in black and thought it would be cool if they matched. However my guitar is a glossy black and this is flat black. The nut on this one was slightly smaller than the neck so you can see bare unpainted wood on each side of the nut, you wouldn’t notice that on the natural one since it would blend in better. The neck looks like it was cut crooked. I just should have purchased two natural colored ones. I actually paid extra for the black and that hurts a bit. However don’t hesitate to get one, they are great fun for the price. It also comes with a nice gig bag. Mine came straight from Japan and arrived two weeks early which was a welcomed surprise.PS I gave it a low star review because of the bad condition mine came in.

Child toy, untunable

I brought this guitar as gift for my daughter. She’s happy)
