I like the finish of the body of the guitar - see through blue revealing some would pattern. Unfortunately, the body of the guitar does not make it playable. The pick-ups are of poor quality. But even worse is that the saddle was way too high and the factory's inspector should never have shipped it out. So why did they? It is an attempt to hide the improperly installed truss rod - and frets installed improperly. But the action was so high because of the nut it is not fun to play and notes go out ...

I like the finish of the body of the guitar - see through blue revealing some would pattern. Unfortunately, the body of the guitar does not make it playable. The pick-ups are of poor quality. But even worse is that the saddle was way too high and the factory's inspector should never have shipped it out. So why did they? It is an attempt to hide the improperly installed truss rod - and frets installed improperly. But the action was so high because of the nut it is not fun to play and notes go out of tune. When I lowered the saddle and tried to lower the nut the buzzing and so forth was unserviceable. I would return it but the price isn't worth it. Instead I turned it into a project guitar and I am ordering an affordable Canadian Maple neck with properly installed working truss rod, frets, and especially nut. I will update the machine heads with affordable locking ones with a good ratio, and after the neck is ready and installed will install good quality strings. If the pick-ups still are poor once the neck and action are playable I may switch out the humbuckers with some upgrades and make sure the wiring/soldering is improved. There is no excuse for shipping out a guitar with an improper nut and with a poorly crafted neck - frets and truss rod. Not a guitar for beginners as it requires too much work to make it playable and enjoyable to play so it doesn't sit in the closet.

Glarry reached out to me promptly when I brought an issue with my guitar to them. Sometimes the body of a guitar and feel makes you not want to have to send an instrument back for something that only a Luthier can adjust properly unless you have those skills yourself which I do not. So they offered a solution that will enable me to keep the guitar and have an issue with the neck/nut corrected.

Glarry reached out to me promptly when I brought an issue with my guitar to them. Sometimes the body of a guitar and feel makes you not want to have to send an instrument back for something that only a Luthier can adjust properly unless you have those skills yourself which I do not. So they offered a solution that will enable me to keep the guitar and have an issue with the neck/nut corrected. I have done some other reviews and pointed out other Glarry guitars/instruments I recommend for a new player. This guitar for the affordable price is excellent for an experienced player who likes small projects and like the finish of the body and can make adjustments typically performed by a Lutheir.
