A compact six-string guitalele that combines the portability of a ukulele with the familiar feel of a nylon-string guitar.
- Portable guitalele design tuned higher than a standard guitar
- Nylon strings provide a warm, comfortable playing feel
- Compact body size makes it ideal for travel and casual playing
- Built with traditional Yamaha acoustic craftsmanship
- Natural finish delivers a clean and timeless acoustic appearance
The Yamaha GL1 Guitalele blends the compact portability of a ukulele with the six-string familiarity of a classical guitar. Tuned to A at the 5th fret of a standard guitar, the GL1 offers a unique playing experience that feels instantly approachable for guitarists while remaining fun and accessible for newer players.

Its lightweight body and smaller scale make it an excellent companion for travel, songwriting sessions, practice, or casual playing at home. The nylon-string setup also provides a softer playing feel and warm acoustic character that works beautifully for relaxed acoustic music and creative experimentation.

Whether used as a travel instrument, songwriting tool, or introduction to guitar-style playing, the GL1 delivers Yamaha’s reliable build quality in a compact and inspiring format.
