Beautiful guitar.
It took a while longer than expected to arrive. Free shipping plus holidays were probably in play here.
When it did arrive, I found that two strings, while intonated correctly at open and 12th fret, were off at lower frets.
Doing some research on line, this pointed to nut height.
After working on the nut a little, it sounds much better now.
I am torn on the review here.

If I was a beginner, and this was my first guitar, I'm not sure I would have known that the guitar itself was to blame for sounding off.
Comparing to my 'major label' guitar, there was at least an attempt at setup on this Glarry - none on the 'major label'
Both instances gave me an opportunity to learn more about doing a setup on a guitar - never too old to learn here.
Glarry did reply to an email offering to assist with cost of repair - I declined as it was not too expensive, and I learned.
Bottom line, it took a lot longer than other orders to arrive.
When it came, it needed work.
Glarry seemed willing to help with work.
After working on it, I really like the sound.
Would recommend to intermediate player who wants that semi-hollow sound, and likes to tinker.
