For the price, it's five stars. I have to re-tune the higher strings somewhat frequently, and out of the box, the high-E tended to buzz a little bit if one of the saddles wiggled itself into a funny position. However, Glarry is very forthright about their guitars being aimed at modders. A new bridge would solve both problems.

For the price, it's five stars. I have to re-tune the higher strings somewhat frequently, and out of the box, the high-E tended to buzz a little bit if one of the saddles wiggled itself into a funny position. However, Glarry is very forthright about their guitars being aimed at modders. A new bridge would solve both problems. An authentic Fender Tele bridge is only $50, and a top-of-the-line 6-way saddle is less than $60. If I did decided to replace the bridge, I would still have spent under $200 total, and there seriously isn't a guitar on earth of this quality that you can buy for that price. I opted to send Glarry a video of the buzzing sound, and they offered to pay a local guitar tech to repair it for me! Although, I was actually able to fix it myself, just by watching a video they send me. Saved me the trouble of the trip! Great customer service. The guitar is 100% gorgeous, and it sounds fantastic on a recording. Unplugged, the thing is practically as loud as an acoustic guitar. Put a high-feedback delay pedal on this thing, and you're ready to play some Pink Floyd.
