Which Guitalele? - Seraphine Sam - 03-12-2018
I want to get a guitalele and I'm torn between Cordoba and Gretsch.
Cordoba Guilele CE which is pretty pricy, Cordoba GP100 which is more affordable, most likely going for this if I choose Cordoba; then there's Gretsch G9125 which just looks so lovely~~
Anyone here has used any of them? Thoughts and advice please~
(I've never played one before, not good at the guitar but I do play the uke.)

Wow...very cool Sam ! I have a Fender Strat only. I never heard of a Guitalele. Does it still sound like a ukulele ?

Sorry Sam - can't help with this one. I don't know a thing about these instruments. Have you ever heard Gustavo Santaolalla? - he plays a charango.
My favourite two pieces of his;

https://youtu.be/EDOgjxzqQ5U - this piece just blows me away every single time I hear it. Exquisite simplicity.
