Yamaha GL1 Nylon String Guitalele Persimmon Brown

The Yamaha GL1 Guitalele in Persimmon Brown is a unique hybrid instrument that blends the portability of a ukulele with the playability of a classical guitar. Designed as a compact 6-string nylon instrument, it delivers a warm, mellow tone while maintaining familiar guitar chord shapes, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced players.

With a short 433mm (17") scale length, the GL1 is easy to handle and perfect for travel, practice, or casual playing anywhere. It is tuned to A/D/G/C/E/A—equivalent to a guitar with a capo on the fifth fret—allowing guitarists to transition seamlessly while enjoying a brighter, more ukulele-like sound.

A spruce top enhances clarity and projection, while the meranti back and sides contribute to a balanced, resonant tone. The nato neck and rosewood fingerboard provide smooth playability and durability. Lightweight and compact, it comes complete with a gig bag for convenient transport and storage.

Perfect for travel, songwriting, or simply having fun with a versatile instrument, the Yamaha GL1 offers a distinctive playing experience in a stylish persimmon brown finish.
