Hi everyone,
I have 2 Guitaleles (sort of). One is the Yamaha GL-1, the other is a Strunal 1/4 size classical guitar, but with a scale length of 17" and tuned ADGCEa. It's actually really cool and sounds great (a little more guitar-ish than uke-ish). Anyway - I'm experimenting with strings on the Yamaha and the Strunal. Several people have recommended D'Addario J45s or J46s (classical guitar strings). They seem a bit fat for the nut slot (I'm trying them now) - but like I said I'm still experimenting.
Has anyone tried Worth tenor (clear or brown) strings on their Guitalele? I'm thinking this would make more sense for at least the CEa strings. Or if there is a post discussing Worth strings on Guitaleles please let me know.
On a side note, our local music shop has ordered a Cordoba Guilele for me to try (when it's available in August 2011).
Thanks!
