I don’t see the Yamaha GL-1 Guitalele on this list, possibly because it didn’t used to be available in the U.S. It’s a quarter-size guitar (the size of a tenor ukulele), with condensed frets and nylon strings. $100. People who own one (including me) think it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

I had this made for me in 1995 by Andy Manson who made guitars for Led Zeppelins Jimmy Page, Jethro Tull – Ian Anderson, John Paul Jones, Foo Fighters etc etc and it’s unique – first one he made that was cutaway and would fit in a Violin box!

Sadly I only used it 2 or 3 times and it’s sat in the case ever since!
I had planned to take it to hotels with me but when checking in I always had a handful of stuff and was too lazy to go get it!!

Now I have to sell it and I can’t put a price on the value – I suppose it’s how much a collector would pay for this rare guitar?

I’ve added the link so you can see it – http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/manson-cutaway-custom-built-traveler-guitar-uniquerare/84584737

You NEED to review the Lapstick guitar!! These are absolutely amazing short scale electric guitars, beautifully made & engineered. I’ve had one for about 3 or 4 years now & I absolutely adore it & in fact play it more than any of my other guitars. I believe its THE smallest proper electric guitar in the world, & mine plays like a dream. Fabulous customer support from the maker, Phil Neal, too. Have a search & see what you think, but I feel the owners of this website are doing an injustice to what I believe is the ultimate ‘travel’ guitar.

Where is the Amigo travel guitar made?
Are there any travel guitars not made in China?

Thanks Patrick, I’m very interested in getting my hands on one of these (Taylor GS Mini) or getting someone to submit a review. So I’m working on this. Anyone feel free to help me out.

By far the new GS Mini Taylor guitar is the best sounding travel guitar on the market. It comes with a gig bag that fits in overhead storage on airplanes, and this lil thing has the sound of a $2000 guitar.
