Hand crafted in a small boutique workshop, the Cordoba electric Guilele-CE is a crossover instrument with the size, sound, and feel of an electric tenor ukulele but with six strings like a guitar. It is designed to be tuned up a 4th from standard guitar tuning — ADGCEA (low to high) — same as a guitar with a capo at the 5th fret. Because the scale length of the Guilele-CE is so much shorter than of a guitar, standard E guitar tuning is not possible on this instrument, even with an alternate set of strings.
The Cordoba Guilele-CE is equipped with an active two-band EQ undersaddle piezo pickup system, and a cutaway for added upper register access. It is built with a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a rosewood fingerboard, and a natural satin finish. This small six string is light, portable and a great travel option for guitarists on the go. It’s also a fantastic instrument for the ukulele player looking to explore the guitar, or for the adventurous guitarist searching for new sonic territory.
All travel guitars and guileles purchased on the All Strings Nylon website undergo a thorough setup performed by a professional luthier, Chuck Marfione, at no extra cost to our Customers. The setup includes the following steps:
- Inspect the instrument to ensure its cosmetic and structural integrity
- Level and polish the frets, and adjust the nut and saddle to achieve optimal action and eliminate string buzz
- Adjust intonation if deemed necessary
- Condition the fingerboard to protect it from dirt, perspiration, and drying out
- Inspect the tuning machines to ensure they turn smoothly
- Pre-stretch the strings to minimize string break-in
- Test the electronics if present
