Lastly, a guitalele is great for those with small hands or even those who simply prefer the ease of nylon strings that usually come with a ukulele while having the full playing capability of a guitar. In Latin America, Brazil, Portugal, and Spain, this instrument type is often referred to as a kind of Requinto.

As we’ve mentioned, thinner gauge strings might be more suited to your guitalele but they are very similar. The main difference is the tuning, with a guitalele tuned to ADGCEA and a guitar tuning to EADGBE. If you are used to playing a ukulele with high G tuning rather than low G you will notice a difference in the sound of the higher registrar strings. Take a minute to adjust your ear to it before making any changes. Unlike the ukulele, G isn’t going to be your highest note, it falls in the middle of the range on a guitalele!

So here's the deal. Note that a guitalele is tuned ADGCEA, and a guitar of course is tuned EADGBE. The idea is this: You can play guitar songs on a guitalele as the guitalele strings are tuned in the same intervals, however, you need to be aware that the guitalele is tuned the same way as a guitar with a capo on the fifth fret. For the more intrepid amongst you, it’s a simple D.I.Y. job to reduce the height of the saddle on your fretted instrument. It would be remiss of me not to mention that I have read about some issues with paint chipping or flaking off on the painted models, but wouldn’t like to be overly critical in this respect without experiencing this fault myself.
