GUITALELE is spelled without the ‘R’ in but sometimes with, as in ‘GUITA'R'LELE’. It is basically a Guitar-Ukulele Hybrid that includes a cross between a Classical Guitar and a Tenor Ukulele. One of the drawbacks of guitars is their unwieldy shape and size. The GUITALELE overcome these through its size and a built-in microphone that permits playing the GUITALELE as an Acoustic Guitar or connected to an amplifier. The GUITALELE is considered a Travel Guitar. In January 1997, Yamaha Corporation came out with the GL-1 GUITALELE.
