Frequently Asked Questions
The guitarlele has a lower, richer tone due to its tuning and larger body size, offering a more guitar-like sound than a typical ukulele.
The 48 mm nut width is a bit wider than a standard ukulele, but manageable for most children and adults with average-sized hands – it's closer to a classical guitar neck.
Intonation is generally good, though very small adjustments might be needed to ensure perfect accuracy across the fretboard, which is common for instruments in this size range.
