I have a Yamaha guitalele, a guitar vesion of the uke. 0.7 metres long, nice sound, good resonance, sounds louder than you'd think. The intonation isn't perfect and moving cohrds upneck can sometimes be painful, but when I'm just doodling I usually don't notice. It's standard gauge nylon strings are the standard EADGBE tuned up to A.

I think It's fun to play it and I can easily kill an hour with it, and if you just want to start learning chords or 'get to know' a guitar-like instrument it could be an option. It cost me about 700 SEK, approx. 65 USD.
