This is one of my favorite Glarry Guitars, I'm a big fan of this style and the color is beautiful. Sounds great as-is or a great platform for upgrades. I have a full unbiased review and demo on my YT channel: GToneGuitars.

Very nice instrument at a reasonable price, very playable, looks great

I like the guitar a lot. There was a great deal of setup required on the guitar. Truss rod adjustment, dressing fret sprout. some fret levelling. addressing buzz from the bridge. etc. One thing did disappoint me a great deal. I ordered this particular telecaster style instead of a competitors because of the beautiful blue color and the woodgrain which showed through. My guitar came with so much black from the edges that my entire guitar looks black. I can only see some blue in the brightes ...

I ordered this particular telecaster style instead of a competitors because of the beautiful blue color and the woodgrain which showed through. My guitar came with so much black from the edges that my entire guitar looks black. I can only see some blue in the brightest sunlight and no woodgrain. A small issue I guess but it was my deciding motivation. I certainly cannot complain about the price however.

I bought this for a modification platform as all the YouTube reviews indicated the neck and body were decent. Mine arrived in great shape, no issues there. It DID ned a string change, intonation set, and action lowered a touch, but I expected that.. do not recommend gifting this to someone unless you set it up first. Interesting point.. I also own an Ibanez RG Gio, which cost twice as much. and the neck on the Ibanez has more issues than the Glarry! SHAME ON IBANEZ! I got to learn how to fil ...

I also own an Ibanez RG Gio, which cost twice as much. and the neck on the Ibanez has more issues than the Glarry! SHAME ON IBANEZ! I got to learn how to file frets thanks to Ibanez (the lamers). I also own a Glarry 2-pickup bass.. same thing.. electronics suck, neck and body are great. If you want a good, cheap guitar to learn mods on, get a Glarry.. the results are quite playable and toneful once you replace the electronics and hardware. I have an axe that plays as good as any Fender Player model for a LOT less, and I learned how to save cash on repairs and setups!

Very pleasantly surprised by this guitar. I only needed to set the intonation and shim up the humbucker (it floated top and bottom). I sanded down the back of the neck to knock down the drag from the gloss finish and it plays as smooth as my Fenders.

I purchased this guitar back on Sept. 2020. I had my tech guy set it up for me and it played good. although the high E string kept coming out of the saddle and hanging over the fretboard. Very frustrating. So I decided to Mod it. I bought new roller saddles and roller T guides and a new nut and tuning keys. And started to do it myself before quickly realizing that it was beyond my skill set so I had my guitar tech guy do it for me and I also sanded off the head stock and stained it to kind of ma ...

And started to do it myself before quickly realizing that it was beyond my skill set so I had my guitar tech guy do it for me and I also sanded off the head stock and stained it to kind of match the body color it looks good and now play great. I put some Rev. Willy super thin strings on it and it stays in tune and plays like smooth as a hot knife through butter. Thank Glarry for making affordable musical instruments for the working poor people like me!

Is it as well-built as a Fender Telecaster? Of course not--but at a fraction of the price, it's pretty darn good. It came with the intonation already well-set-up, no sharp fret ends, and generally good fit and finish. The finish is not perfect--the inside edge of the f-hole has a couple of tiny spots where the paint is just missing entirely--but only I can see that. To anyone watching me play, it's a very sharp-looking guitar. The finish is a lot darker than in the photo on Amazon, but that's ...

To anyone watching me play, it's a very sharp-looking guitar. The finish is a lot darker than in the photo on Amazon, but that's a good thing. It looks great. It also plays great--the back of the neck feels unfinished and very smooth, a nice surprise, and there are a ton of useful and usable tones available with this pickup combination. The neck pickup loves distortion and provides a great, warm lead tone. Want twang? The bridge pickup will hook you up.

Bought several of these all were fine after a little tweaking. Last one was real bad at the nut & frets were real rough & sharp on the sides.

Clearly this is not expected to be a 5 star guitar in the world of all guitars. But, if looking for a nice sounds, super reasonable price and you can do the easy set-up steps, it's hard to beat. I saw a review online from an expert and could not resist. It's worth it - especially if you want an extra guitar to just beat around on, or keep in an open tuning, or use at a second home. ANyway, 5 star for price, condition and easy play.

Good and bad. The guitar overall has a good fit and finish. The controls work as they should. The bad is the neck is flat and straight but it is angled upward at the neck joint several degrees which makes it UNPLAYABLE. The strings are too high at the nut which makes it UNPLAYABLE. It's too much expense and hassle to send it back. Some day I will have pay someone to remove the neck and attempt to repair it or consider it junk.

First I want to say that the finish on the Burlywood just fantastic. However when I received the guitar I found that the neck was off center to the right and the high E string at the 15th fret was almost off the neck. I contacted Glarry and they did respond to a possible fix. That did not work. They then suggested I take it to a Luthier and they would pay up to the cost of the guitar. I found a video that shows how to straighten the neck easily and it worked. While I was tuning the strings I als ...

I found a video that shows how to straighten the neck easily and it worked. While I was tuning the strings I also found that every one of the tuners were loose and had to be tightened. After realigning the neck and tighten the tuners the guitar played really well. Glarry did give me a 5 percent off on my next purchase for the trouble I went though. I do have 3 other Glarry guitars and they were received in perfect condition. Really need to watch that final inspection.

Wow playable right out of the box. I had fret polishing and fret end to sand but very little was needed.

on April 14, 2022

I love this guitar. It looks good, sounds good and has excellent action straight from the box. I bought this on a whim. I own two vintage electrics and this has become my favorite. The other two are name brands, but this gives them a run for the money.

on April 08, 2022

Hit or miss guitar. Excellent guitar for the price.

on March 09, 2022

Actually very pleased for the money on these, they arrived and are very light wieght,much lighter than my gold top gretch and playable out of the box, sound good but both with a personality of their own, I own many higher end guitars, and find these to be a fav go to anyway, also bought a 5 string bass, and black laquor tele, that havent arrived yet, Thanks glarry your on to something here.keep it cost affective for those new comers, they will one day make you proud also.A.J.Holland, Texas.

I just wanted to say that I received my GTL Semi-Hollow F Hole, Transparent Wine Red in three days. It was packed very well. I inspected it completely and it is in perfect condition. I just received it today so I have not had time to play it yet. Going to send pix in a few days.

on March 03, 2022

After minor adjustments to the instrument as well as tuning, the guitar sounds great for the price. I did treat the neck and frets as they were a little dry - not a huge effort.

Great guitar! Great company!

I bought the guitar for my grandson. I checked out the guitar out personally before I gave it to him. It looked very nice. I plugged it in and it sounded very nice too. It stayed in tune also. I liked the product. I got the blue tele.

on February 01, 2022

The guitar arrived undamaged The tuners are not very good. The string holes in the body do not line up with the holes in the bridge. Would not recommend for a beginner. The finish was very nice.frets needed polishing and of course new strings.pickups seem okay. Maybe just the guitar I received surely some are better.

I'm used to high end fenders and other guitars like music man, Michael Kelly, deans, and epiphones higher end guitars…all I knew was I wanted a semi hollow tele body with a humbucker…not knowing if I would like one this caught my eye not having any locally to try out…so I said what the heck, if I don't like it I'll mod it…well upon arrival the guitars action was way to high and intonation was a disaster!!

I lowered the action and gave it the perfect intonation( which shocked the crap of me for such a cheap guitar) it now plays as good as my authentic fender tele!!!! It's super light which I love too!! The body is flawless and beautiful! Frets are almost perfect and the humbucker is lovely! Man it sure can howl!! The bridge pickup is ok…typical tele sound for it! The tuners could be a little better but holds tune pretty good!!! My only complaint was the setup from the factory…but other then that once I set it up I have a dang good player! Glarry you won my business when it comes to cheap guitars! I will say that you will want to oil the fretboard when you get it…transport will have it dry upon arrival which is usual! Some lemon oil or string ease will make it slick and play nice!

I'm impressed in the high quality, low cost and fast delivery of my Glarry GTL. I have a Fender Stratocaster, 3 classical guitars and a bass, as well as a Jay Turser blues guitar. I've owned many fine guitars over the years, I missed my 65 red Telecaster so I took a lucky chance with Glarry. Thank you Glarry for producing such an artfully thought out and technically sound Telecaster style guitar.

I'm pleased with this guitar. It arrived in good condition , playable, and has a decent tone . Upgrades are in the plan .

on December 29, 2021

A great guitar to mod. Decent quality, fair price. Quick free shipping . Overall lots of fun.

on December 17, 2021

Wow! What a nice guitar for this price! Pleasantly surprised by the quality and finish. Fast delivery also, would highly recommend for beginners or enthusiasts looking for an upgrade project!

on December 13, 2021

This instrument far exceeds any expectations I had for a sub 200$ instrument , besides the fact it's slightly lighter than my tribute asat the setup and quality are every bit as good as the 500 g&l or fender squire series teles,I definitely plan on picking up a few different pickup variations of the tele ,honestly how can you turn down owning 3 different teles for less than the price of one squire !!

on December 12, 2021

Perfect...all the demo on line said it was. Lots of bang for the buck ...play it lots. Beautiful guitar. I like it bette than my Fender.

on December 06, 2021

the guitar arrived quickly..... had to adjust truss rod and change strings. Sound great

on November 23, 2021

Fantastic deal! From order to delivery one of the best to provide updates and shipping info. The Guitar is absolutely flawless and plays great right out the box. Love the color and finish!

I ordered this guitar about a month ago but unfortunately, through no fault of Glarry, the guitar arrived damaged during shipment. Fortunately for me, the customer service at Glarry's was second to none. Although the guitar was unplayable due to the damage, we came to a reasonable compromise so instead of sending it back for a full refund, we came to a reasonable partial refund where I can keep the guitar for parts. I give customer service at Glarry's a 5 star.
