The Ortega Timber Series RGL5EB-CE guitarlele has a fully ebony body finished with a mahogany neck and walnut fretboard. Loaded with six strings, this mini-guitar has the same format as a baritone ukulele, and while the strings are tuned a little higher than standard (A, D, G, C, E, A), it's played in precisely the same way as a standard guitar. This mash-up-style model is great for guitarists seeking that typical ukulele sound without having to pick up a new instrument; is definitely small enough to serve as an excellent travel companion, or just as a more than worthy addition to any instrument collection. The Bigger Brother Just like the RGL5EB (a slightly smaller variation on the same theme), this guitarlele has been brilliantly finished with ABS binding, Ortega's own gilded machine heads, and an open pore finish to give the dark wood as natural a look and feel as possible. There are, of course, differences, since the RGL5EB-CE comes fitted with a MagusUke preamp and built-in tuner and volume and tone controls, making it fully stage-ready, and to finish, the deep and graceful cutaway ensures snug playing comfort and eased access to the highest frets.
