The Flight GUT850 is a really interesting instrument – it bridges the gap between ukulele and guitar beautifully. It's a fantastic option for guitarists wanting a smaller, travel-friendly instrument with a richer tone than a standard ukulele, or for ukulele players seeking a slightly more familiar chord voicing. The build quality is solid for the price point, making it a great value.

  • • While playable, the 45mm nut width might feel cramped for those with larger hands.
