Designed for excellence

The guitarlele is exactly what the name portrays, a mix between a guitar and a ukulele.

It’s the perfect half-way point for experimentation. With these features, you are provided with easy playability, no matter your ability. The guitarlele has been designed to accommodate anyone. The body’s design also allows for comfortable playing as it has a lightweight and compact structure, and its cutaway profile means you are able to stretch to the upper frets with ease.

Perform in comfort

Well-crafted from mahogany, the guitarlele’s neck not only allows for hours of comfortable playing, but also provides a quick and dynamic response. The wood also contributes towards the instrument’s stunning tones, as it gives off a warmth and resonance. Its mahogany neck is topped with a walnut fingerboard. The soft wood provides a luxurious feel as your fingers work their way between frets, and adds balanced and earthy tones to the guitarlele’s overall sound.
