I bought the GL-1 a year ago or so after watching hours of youtube videos of it. It definitely takes a little getting used to in terms of scale and neck size. I lowered the saddle, changed the strings to D'Addario normal tension nylons, and it's really a fun little toy. I love mine because it's small enough to easily take with when traveling and cheap enough I don't have to worry about beating it up. I later installed a MISI pickup in it and I was amazed, when this thing is plugged in it sounds completely different. When playing at home, I almost never play it unplugged anymore. The tone I can get through my amp is so warm even at higher volumes, throw in just a hint of reverb and it really sounds amazing to my ear. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about picking one up.

P.S. here's a couple of my favorite youtube vids of the GL-1:
