MAJOR DAMAGE!!! Well, my guitar arrived today. --- I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. It arrived on the 29th.

MAJOR DAMAGE!!! Well, my guitar arrived today. --- I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. It arrived on the 29th. Not too upset about that because I ordered it on the 18th, knowing it could take up to 10 days for delivery. Well, being all excited when it arrived, when I saw the box, I was immediately concerned. When I opened it, my concerns came to reality. The body is crushed and it must be returned. Overall, the guitar looks good but I didn't do much more than open it, unpack it, and pack it back up. Can't say much more at this time. Hopefully customer service will be better than the shape the guitar arrived. ................ UPDATE - 1-15-21 Upon the arrival of the damaged guitar, I contacted Glarry customer service. The customer service manager I worked with, Manager Lin, was incredibly responsive and helpful! The guitar was replaced immediately! Because the guitar that I ordered was not in stock at the time, I was given the option to wait until it was in stock or the option of choosing another guitar that was in stock. Because it was a gift, I wanted to replace it as soon as I could and so I chose a different guitar from the Glarry inventory. The guitar was immediately put on order and I received it roughly 12 to 15 days later. All through this time, the service manager was in contact with me and was very helpful and responsive to my messages. As you know, these guitars are quite competitively priced but they are worth every penny and more! I've been playing guitar for nearly all of my life and I really enjoy the guitar I bought for my child. It's a fantastic beginner guitar and to be honest, I'm considering getting one for myself for fun! The classic question: Would I buy from Glarry again? Heck yes! The only problem I had during this entire transition was the worry about how the guitar would arrive. They are not packed very well and so I was "biting my nails" while waiting for the second guitar to arrive. it arrived in PERFECT condition! Thanks Glarry and thanks to a very responsive customer service department!

This guitar is fantastic! Out of the box the action was good-low enough for easy playing and no buzz. The humbucker is awesome huge difference between the single coil and humbucker. I was nervous about the pickups being microphonic - they are not. I oiled up the neck and stretched the factory strings - they are holding the tuning so I will keep them until they break. I love this guitar-great job glarry!!

Let me start by saying the Guitar is great for $120.00. In my case it took a total of 11 days to get it though and many reviews said it was so fast? Now it is close to Christmas and with Covid19 concerns it takes longer but this was frustrating. It took 4 days to leave Glarry location. Then FedEx kept saying out for delivery, everyday for 4 days in a row. I really thought it was lost. When it came it was slightly damaged. Like other's have said the box is a tight fit with little padding. in my c ...

Then FedEx kept saying out for delivery, everyday for 4 days in a row. I really thought it was lost. When it came it was slightly damaged. Like other's have said the box is a tight fit with little padding. in my case something it the tone control knob an knocked it loose and scuffed the top of it. Thankfully it tightened up ok but does not look the best. The guitar it self is really nice for this money. Neck seems to be straight, no rough frets. It was playable out of the box with just a tuning but I did a set up as the base strings intonation was off. The Neck pickup is strong and mellow sounding. The Bridge pickup is a little weaker and real tiny sounding. I lowered it down to try to offset a little and now together it sounds pretty good. For a lot of songs I like the neck pickup alone. Fit and finish were pretty good though not perfect. The f hole edges were rough and not painted or finished. I sanded a little and mixed some paint and touched up. The neck finish was a little rough but some 400 grit sandpaper took care of that quickly along with some furniture polish. Overall I would recommend for this kind of money to get a decent guitar with accessories is amazing. But do not expect it to be perfect. And Glarry, you need to up your packaging!

I love this guitar. Plays great stays in tune. Sounds killer another win for glarry. Love their basses too. Looking forward to buying many more. And I'm definitely interested in testing and reviewing any new products for my YouTube channel. I mostly review bass guitars but will do any guitar review. Stay posted for my gtl semi review. 5 stars of course. Thanks glarry

Love the Glarry Thinline I just got , beautiful finish and woodgrain match . The setup was very good just lowered the bridge saddles a turn ( six brass saddles ) no sharp fret ends smoothed the back of the neck with some 1500 grit , neck humbucker sounds great and brightens up nicely in the center position . Plays as good as any of my other guitars - Squires , Epiphones , Firefly 338 , Gibson LP

Glarry is winning me over. I've used Glarry cases for years, but these guitars blow my mind. What a pleasure to set up and play. this guitar is superior to most. I'll be back soon...

Fast shipping. Beautiful. Good finish. Well constructed from inexpensive parts. Frets needed polishing. Tuning machines should be improved. Pickups sound good for the money. Good resonance. Well worth the money if you know how to do your own setup. Suggest longer wires between the pots, so the tele plate reversal mod is easy.

I recently purchased & received Glarry GTL Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar F Hole HS Pickups Transparent Wine Red. I Really think the Guitar is a stunner! The Body's wood grain shows through the Transparent Wine Red and is just awesome! and more importantly, It plays great! This is my 3rd. Glarry Guitar. I also have a Strat style Guitar and Telecaster style Guitar both by Glarry! Nice Guitars for the Money! Great Value!

Really enjoy this guitar. I've been playing for many years and love telecaster-style guitars. You won't find a tele-style, semi-hollow guitar with this kind of pickup configuration (Humbucker in the neck and a single coil bridge pickup) for this low of a price and with this level of playability out of the box. Minor set up on the guitar (neck truss rod adjustment and saddle adjustments for intonation) can further enhance its tone and playability. I definitely recommend this guitar for beginners ...

Really enjoy this guitar. I've been playing for many years and love telecaster-style guitars.

Minor set up on the guitar (neck truss rod adjustment and saddle adjustments for intonation) can further enhance its tone and playability. I definitely recommend this guitar for beginners and advanced players alike. Here's my unboxing video for this guitar: https://youtu.be/iz9JG7vHY6c .Here's a YouTube playlist of free basic guitar lessons for songwriters: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWH7FlONxWx70KfRaZvCF-7JR-nUy6f8K

Glarry Tele Thinline Style Amber color. For the Price I give it a 5. The playability I give it a 4. Pickups and Electronics, Tuners Hardware etc. I give it a 4. The Neck i give it a 3, i had to do a truss rod adjustment, the frets are ok, no fret buzz on mine. So Overall this is a 4 Star Guitar in my opinion for what it is Im going to put a better neck on it. This guitar finish is nice, pics are enclosed.

1st off let me say that this is my very first guitar. I am a total beginner. With that being said, I love this guitar so far. I picked the right color combo. I think it's pretty well done overall. I will give a more in-depth review of this guitar as time goes on but my initial impression is that I really like this guitar. It's extremely light which I love. Everything seems smooth to touch. The finish is amazing to me for the price. A lot of YouTube reviews say that there are adjustments that nee ...

Again I'm happy so far

This is the second guitar I have purchased from Glarry. The first was the same body type without the F hole (GTL maple fingerboard). I have a number of guitars as I enjoy the variety of sounds I get from different body types and pick up arrangements, most of which I bought used to save money. When I first received the GTL I had to make a few minor adjustments, but it sounds and feels great, and I have played it every day since then. The Semi-Hollow GTL that I just purchased did not require any a ...

When I first received the GTL I had to make a few minor adjustments, but it sounds and feels great, and I have played it every day since then. The Semi-Hollow GTL that I just purchased did not require any adjustments...it sounds great right out of the box. I have been extremely happy with both guitars. It is not enough to say that they are a good deal for the money...these are perfect for anyone who is either learning to play or someone like me who wants a collection of different style guitars and does not want to break the bank. Both orders arrived very quickly and the guitars were in new condition. I am very satisfied with Glarry and would recommend buying from them...in fact I hope to add the GST, 170, and Burning Fire models to my collection soon.

Very pleasing guitar. I set the action to 4/64" and it's ready to go.

on June 10, 2020

After unboxing, I was pleasantly taken back by the looks of this guitar, its absolutely beautiful. With doubt, I quickly got my straight edge, checked the neck and frets and wow -- straight. Not the lowest but I checked the action and was pleasantly surprised once again it was set already at a realistic measure. Sure it wasn't set as low as my Zager but it sure was still easy enough to play. Once again, I curiously tried it without an amp after tuning and it was true to a semi hollow able to ...

After unboxing, I was pleasantly taken back by the looks of this guitar, its absolutely beautiful. With doubt, I quickly got my straight edge, checked the neck and frets and wow -- straight. Not the lowest but I checked the action and was pleasantly surprised once again it was set already at a realistic measure. Sure it wasn't set as low as my Zager but it sure was still easy enough to play. Once again, I curiously tried it without an amp after tuning and it was true to a semi hollow able to even practice without an amp. Plugged it in and everything sounded nice, kept tune through the entire practice time. The Volume Pot has a little crackle but I am pretty sure a little spray will clean it out. The strings, I am comfortable keeping on but quite possibly many will want to trade them out. For me, they sound good enough untl they wear and I have a set of StringJoy to change them too when they do wear out. The case comes free, so not much else to say about it, it will definitely keep the dust off it but I have a nice one arriving -- hmm tomorrow. For the price I really doubt you will find as an attractive, nice semi-hollow anywhere else that was really not bad to play, except to tune it up which is to be expected right out of the box.

I bought the Burlywood version of this guitar and it is spectacular looking and the sound is great! The guitar seems to have a really good amount of sustain. First thing you will need to do after buying this guitar is set the intonation, mine was way off. You may also need to change the strings and clean the neck. After two days of playing this guitar my left hand fingers we're turning gray from either the strings or the manufacturing process of the neck itself. There was a small dent about the ...

I bought the Burlywood version of this guitar and it is spectacular looking and the sound is great! The guitar seems to have a really good amount of sustain. First thing you will need to do after buying this guitar is set the intonation, mine was way off. You may also need to change the strings and clean the neck. After two days of playing this guitar my left hand fingers we're turning gray from either the strings or the manufacturing process of the neck itself. There was a small dent about the width of a pencil on the edge of the body on my guitar. Also, the string ferules on the back of the guitar didnt match. Five were gold and one was silver. Even so, this is minor and I still rate this guitar five stars. Good value for the money.

Individual brass saddles are a nice addition to this guitar. The frets are rolled nicely, and they was no fret buzz. The.neck size is improved from past models for a comfortable feel and the output jack works well without any connection issues. The color of the guitar is really nice and three are no blemishes in the finish. The pickups have ba better sound as well with less monophonic issues. All in all, this is a good guitar as is without upgrades.
