Yudelele- Travel Guitars

A year (or so) ago, I posted a link for these small guitars, not long after- mine arrived woohoo!!
Lol.. anyhow..I thought they deserved another plug, Yude seems like a good fella, doing good things and (from what iv'e seen of other travel guitars) he's come up with a ukelele sized guitar that actually manages to keep a big sound.

I'm not much of a musician, I don't think I could play more than a few recognisable riffs.. This may have been a good thing as trying to pick one of these up as a beginner and then learn in the 'traditional' - copy others- way could be tedious (as they are tuned higher) but physically they are easy to play and suit my 'style'..

Here is Yude's original clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veo-cdiSt4o


But for those who yawn at the soft melody of a classical guitar here ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8miO_g--dk :mrgreen:

:)

Now I need to convince him to attach the back with case locks (to store gear lol) and build a Yudeamp

Nice!

I'm thinking about ordering a Tranjo Express, but only for solo walks. Lol.

I look forward to hearing your Yudelele on the track sometime. :-)

Not really practical for bushwalking. Some of the electrics would be (if you could protect them in a pack).. little more than fretboards with pickups, paired with a personal amp would be ok..

I was set to buy a Martin, having played around with the backpacker but it really isn't 'backpack' sized either.
It had the nicest sound but nothing on Yudes lele :)
