Review: Such Fun! - I read the reviews for this little thing and I have to disagree with the person who said that this was a toy. It most certainly isn't. This guitarlele has a sweet sound with a surprising amount of sustain which some players won't like so much, but I do. It's well made and feels solid. The tuning heads feel sturdy and it holds its tuning very well. The intonation is very good although it does become increasingly more tricky to play further up the neck due to the small fret spacings. I have sausage fingers and will often hit a bum note if not very careful. It really is a fun instrument to play and easy and comfortable to hold. I have a problem with my shoulder which is why I bought this and it's very comfy. The sound is more guitar like than uke but if you play further up the neck the more ukey it becomes. I would not recommend this for a beginner because of the cramped frets, but if you have some playing experience you will really enjoy this little wonder with its bell like tone and ease of transport. It would make a super travel guitar.
Review: A nice little guitar for the price - At this price level I had low expectations, but having respect for the Yamaha brand I took a chance and ordered the guitar, half expecting to send it back it it proved a disappointment. It didn’t disappoint at all. As an experienced player of various full size acoustic guitars I must admit this little guitar is surprisingly well made and pleasant to play for such an economy price. TBH I didn’t buy it for myself, it was supposed to be an alternative instrument for my Ukelele playing partner to progress to. She didn’t like it, because two extra strings aid a step to far for her. Ah we’ll never mind I tried. Also I hope to use it to teach guitar to my 8 year old grandchild but haven’t introduced it to him yet. The body size is ideal for him, and the classical type nylon strings should be easier for him. However the neck width is about the same as a full size guitar and flat rather than radiused, which is not ideal for small hands. Also due to the necessarily short neck the tuning cannot be standard EADGBE like a full size so that’s an obstacle to learning the fretboard for later progression to a full size guitar when he’s older.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kid of strings needs to be used for this guitlele ? Please give me the link, so that I can by.**
A: I've fitted a set of Ernie Ball Ernesto Palla Nylon Black and Silver Classical Tie On Set and they are perfect.
They took a little playing to settle in but now they are fine.

**Q: Can the guitalele be tuned to E?**
A: I have to say, as an experienced player, I have had no problem keeping this in tune like a standard guitar EADGBE.  It took a while for the tension to settle in but it's fine, the intonation has stayed good.  I took sensible precautions by tuning it down gradually, and I don't expect to be able to alternate these very different tunings. Obviously there is less tension in the strings now but it is not causing me a problem.  If your style requires higher tension then consider buying different strings.

**Q: Good for a 4 year old beginner?**
A: I would think that the neck/fret board would be too wide for small hands.

**Q: Wanting tp pack in my (large) suitcase. Can someone give me the dimentions from largest width to length please**
A: Its dimensions are: scale length (nut to saddle) 432 mm (17"); nut width 47.6 mm (1 7⁄8"); body length 698 mm (27 1⁄2"); body width 229 mm (9"); body depth 71.4 mm (2 13⁄16").
