For those of you interested in exploring a guitarlele for not very much money, i can heartily recommend the Ohana tenor sized TKGL-20. Although the back and sides are laminate, the top is solid mahogany and it sounds very good to this steel string guitarist. It's tuned a fourth up from standard guitar tuning -- ADGCEA -- so the first four strings match up with a low G tenor ukulele. Check it out.
Note that Ohana has also released what they refer to as a micro guitar -- the TKG-20, also a tenor size, but tuned like a standard guitar, EADGBE. Presumably the strings are different, but i don't whether there are any other differences between the two models. For a tenor uke body with 17" scale, i would be surprised if the TKG -20 sounds nearly as good as the TKGL-20; has anyone tried one?
