Gretsch-lele


Gretsch has a guitar-lele in its line up as well - the G9126 (List: $349). It's facing stiff competition from Ibanez (EWP12EWB: $329). The latter has a cut-away feature so it has more guitar vibes, especially with metal strings on board. We must not ignore Yamaha's GL 1 as well (List: $175) which is almost half the price. I am still struggling to play one of these, can't come to terms with the fact that it has to be handled like a ukulele; placing it on the lap is not how you deal with it. I simply can't hug & play this thing for sure. Coming from the guitar end of things, that not the job of my right hand.
