Great addition to my ukuleles. Works well playing in my ukulele group. Sound blends great and puts guitar players at ease and eliminates need to learn ukulele chords.

Instrument projects sound through holes. A little muted ,but nice frequency response across the six strings. Course there is also a pickup for an amplifier. Warming up with a smaller instruments creates inspiration and ideas to be checked out on my full size guitar. Really nice concept here. I give it four stars with respect to my more expensive and full size growlers.

I love this guitalele! It's beautiful, well made, and plays very well.I tuned it a 4th up from standard guitar tuning (A-D-G-C-E-A) so it's like playing a regular guitar with a capo on the 5th fret. That means you can play standard guitar chord forms, but they will be higher. So if you play a G chord form, you are actually playing the chord C.This thing is awesome. A great way to get a ukulele sound while playing guitar chord forms. (I do also play ukulele, but i dont play as well or knkw as many chords, so this is a great alternative. )I plugged it into my Fishman acoustic amp, and the pickup works GREAT!Just a note: when the built in tuner is on, the pickup output is muted. I was quite impressed.The accessories that came with it are good. The strap is great and well sized. It came with an extra set of strings.Note that the strings for this are basically classical guitar strings, and they are labeled with the standard guitar tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E).

My hands are on the smaller side, and even the fret board action on the Taylor baby guitar (their smallest guitar) is still a bit of a strain for my left hand.In contrast, the action on this guitar is the best I’ve ever experienced. (I don’t perform, singing with a guitar has always been my creative outlet - however from my perspective, it would be a satisfactory travel back-up performance guitar in a pinch.) I specifically bought this guitar because of the positive reviews about how well it tunes, which I can also confirm, right out of the box.) Also love the bonus features like the integrated electric tuner and the fact that it’s an electric acoustic - it sounds great with the portable Honey Tone amplifier (also reasonably priced) I purchased for it, it complements the guitar perfectly. It’s even better than my old Martin Backpack guitar (which never quite sounded like a guitar, and did not have the great action of this guitar), which I passed on to my kid. This guitar exceeds my expectations, great quality for the price. Thank you!!

This was purchased for my Mother's 73rd birthday. We had bought this instrument in 2021 and she just loved it and wanted another for a backup. She originally was playing a ukulele so just want to move up a bit as we Jam together every Friday night and I play guitar.

Bought other competitors which I have had issues with, this one? Not so much. The neck is wider and the frets are larger than the competition making it perfect for the experimenting guitarist. Sounds amazing unplugged or plugged, and feels great to play. It is perfect to take away to our holiday home as it does not take up much room in the car, is awesome to play and copes with being tuned to standard guitar E (though sounds a little rattley) or standard A, in which it sounds beautiful.To be honest, I now play this for fun, more than my 10x more expensive guitars (unless I am practicing for gigs) purely for the sheer fun and joy factor. I love this thing!!

This guitarlele is fantastic. I had the acacia wood version, sadly it was stolen and I really missed it. I had to have another one so I found the ebony one and it has a slightly different sound and look. It is so unique and beautiful much better than in the photographs and it has a ebony fingerboard, these things are unheard of at this price point. I also have a zebra wood carmel guitalele and think they're well made and well setup. Another guitarlele that I have and recomend is the Yamaha GL1 that I keep tuned to A, it is smaller with a seveteen inch scale. Use the high tention classical strings on these instruments to avoid the "flubbly sting" situation. By the way I own many guitars and I've been playing for about 40 years. Right now this is my favorite.

It's hard to find anything wrong with this little guitar. I'm not a beginner. I write songs and play a guitar for 20 years and from my point of view that instrument is incredible.Basically, you get a smaller size classical guitar here. The size makes a difference, that pretty little thing is incredibly light, very handy and easy to travel with.Surprisingly, the smaller size does not affect sound as much as one would expect. That instrument is almost as loud as a regular size classical guitar. Playing it takes some getting used to as the distance between frets is shorter. If you have smaller hands you will be happy, because it's actually easier to hit chords than with a full size guitar. If you have large paws however, well, you might not like it as much as I do.About the sound: much depends on the way you tune it. With a regular E-E tunning and original strings, the sound of CB904G is very close to a regular guitar. The strings are a bit loose though, but still playable. They do not buzz, but you can tell it's all too soft.When you tune it F#-F# or G-G, however, it hits the sweet spot and things change. Strings are in perfect tension and the sound is stronger. Also, top two strings start to sound like something between a guitar and ukulele, sort of "woody" sound. Oh, and it spices things up nicely. F# or G is the way to tune Caramel CB904G.After a while I changed my strings to Hannabach 653059 for 1/8 guitar. They do sound better when tuned to E than the originals, as the tension is correct. However the three lower strings, E A and D, sound a bit shy.I have a feeling than there is an even better choice: Hannabach strings for 1/4 guitar (for a longer guitar), tuned to G. That's what I'm going to do, it should be just perfect for guitarlele.About the electric part and recording your songs through XLR cable: it is way better than I expected. It's not easy to record nylon strings and make it sound good, but in this case it works really well, for some reason. The recording is clear, full and sounds nicer than my electro-acoustic full size Takamine EG-260 with metal strings.Another surprise: Caramel CB904G sounds different when you play it in different styles. Strumming and fingerpicking style sound good. Fingerpicking (especially when tuned to F#) is sweet and mellow. However when you hit all the strings in a fast and energetic way, it suddenly sounds strong and impressive. The slight ukulele note gives it even more taste. It's hard to believe that such small instrument can produce such strong sounds.There are also few things to be aware of.The wood is really dry. If you're worried about it, try some guitar oil.The intonation is NOT perfect. If you tune E string perfectly, and press it on 12-th fret and play, you will not get a perfect E, it will be slightly higher. The variation is not much, it is acceptable and you can't really hear it. So not much of a problem, but you should be aware of it as there is no easy way to fix it.Adjusting truss rod is a good idea, as mine was way too loose. But it does not help with intonation.Also, you'll probably need to learn how to make stop knots on your strings.Oh, and for some reason I got only one CR-2032 battery in the box (two are required). I'm not sure I was even supposed to get the one I got, so I don't really care.All those problems are minor. But the good sides of that instrument are huge. It sounds good, it looks good, it feels good, it plays good.So if you want a small size guitar that sounds really well, if you want to record it too, I don't see a better choice. If you don't mind tuning it two or three notes higher than a regular guitar, it will be get amazing.All those high marks and good reviews are well deserved. I believe the Caramel company created an affordable masterpiece here.

I got this lovely guitalele after having the Yamaha and the difference is pronounced. This is a little bigger than a standard baritone uke and the sound is lovely, warm and resonant. I tune this guitalele G to G as that seems to be its sweet spot. E to E like standard guitar tuning is too flabby and A to A which is the normal tuning for a guitalele is too "tight" and dulls the top string markedly. So G to G seems just right. I will be buying the Aquila red guitalele strings when I restring because they hold E to E really well without the flab. This instrument is just fun to play. It lends itself really well to the Elizabethan sound but equally you can finger pick some folk or country styles and it sounds great. Plugged in it opens up even more musical doors especially if you have effects pedals. Add some reverb and delay and you're flying. As for the build itself, there are no sharp frets, obviously the neck is quite wide but not too wide. The tuning heads could be a bit better but they're not bad. The nut is fine no squeaks and pings when you're tuning up. The neck is nice and silky and finish on the body feels smooth. The fret board could probably do with a little linseed oil to bring it life a little more. I've been having a ball playing this. It's always about and you can just pick up and play anywhere. It will help no end with your practice.

This instrument has a beautiful tone for something so small, wonderful resonance. Plus it's a pretty instrument too. Lots of sound with the pickup, and great to have an on-board tuner. It took a while to get here, but very happy with it overall.

This is a super fun little instrument, and If your a guitar player you can tune it as a guitar and have a mini travel guitar. It's small so sound lacks a little, but its awesome you can play the bottom 4 strings just as you would a ukelele, or use all the strings with the same chord shapes as guitar and play it like a guitar. If you tune it as its supposed to be itll be like a acoustic with a capo on 5th feet. I've really enjoyed it!
