NGL1D

So after the advice in this thread, Santa left a GL1 under the Christmas tree for me...

This is basically a capo 5 guitar- ADGCEA tuning.

I replaced the stock strings with Augustine Blues, and I'm loving it. Six strings definitely seems more comfortable to me than a ukulele. Here's a bit of fingerpicking (via my cellphone microphone) One of the nice things about the short scale is that I can comfortably manage long stretches for chords with bigger intervals than normal.

thats way cool .... gotta love that ...perfect travel guitar

hows the intonation up the fretboard?

i ask since i have a cheap one too ..NOT a yamaha though.... .sounds awesome in 1st 5 frets then goes way way out as one goes up the board pity or i'd use it way more

Very nice,

Until I realised what it was, for a moment there I thought you had freakishly huge hands ??? ?

My tuner tells me that the 12th fret is about 10-20 cents sharp- the stock saddle is plastic, and compensated for the C (G) string. If I play an open chord with the octave below ringing on the open string, it all sounds ok (to my ear, anyway).

Just a note for those who are looking- The Gator Tenor Uke bag (like this one from Takealot) fits the GL1 perfectly.
