My curiosity got the better of me and my wallet.
I just received my Yamaha GL-1 Guitalele from Long & McQuade in Vancouver, Canada. I just followed the directions given by ChiyoDad on his blog. Ordering by phone was easy and the salesman, Jovahn, was very helpful. It took about 15 minutes to give them my shipping and payment info. The order was put in last Thursday and would have arrived Wednesday but UPS had trouble find the address. $99 US + $30 Shipping.
Apologies for the phone camera pictures.
The GL-1 (left)is next to my Ohana TK-35G Tenor (right) - similar in size and fits in the same case.
Total length = 28"; Body=12.5", upper bout=7"; lower bout=9"
12 frets to the body; 17 frets total
Position dots on the side only at 5 & 7 frets.
Satin finish. Lighter in color than shown in photos.
Fit and finish is good, well made.
The intonation seems to be right on even up to the 12th fret according to the FT-800 tuner. it has a compensated plastic saddle.
Now to find some music so I can be terrible on both the ukulele and the guitalele.
This is the first time I've posted pictures, yay!
