Black Friday discount was great on top of already great price for what you get. The guitar is beautiful, however this guitar (my 4th Glarry) has bad fret sprout and the 6th string buzzes. This should help me learn how to do guitar set ups.

I was looking for an inexpensive guitar with which to practice fixing guitars. This model is beautiful and very light, which my body enjoys. It had a few things that needed addressed, like a slight tweak in the neck and lowering the action and a bit of fret sprout, but it was well worth the money. It is a great entry level guitar. I wish they had been around when I started playing 55 years ago. But they are now and that will benefit all of those wanting to get into playing guitar but don't have ...

Gave 4 stars. Guitar is in great shape. Packaged very well. Guitar sounds really good. The amp on the other hand is very static. Tried different settings and still the sound isnt very good. Other than that. Very good purchase and im happy with it.

on November 08, 2020

honestly, the guitar is not perfect, but for the price, this guitar is totally worth the buy. It's my first electric and I'm having fun learning on it. Be prepared to tune it quite a bit, but that is the only problem with it.

on November 07, 2020

Plays pretty good, came with a bunch of scratches but I don't mind too much. Good for beginners.

This is a first instrument I bought for my grandnephew, it is pretty descent out of the box but I did polish the frets, minor string height adjustments and set the intonation I think this guitar will take him down the road a few years until he's ready for a better quality guitar.

on October 07, 2020

The guitar arrived safely. Intonation had to be set, action lowered, tuners replaced, lightly sanded the back of the neck. Fret work is surprisingly very good. After these adjustments the guitar plays and sounds great. Great low priced platform to do mods with.

on October 06, 2020

Guitar works very well and came in great condition, however my package was missing most of the tools and a cord for the amp!

Received the guitar and it's associated goodies in fine shape. It really is a lovely guitar and the fit and finish is pretty much spot on. To my surprise it was actually reasonably well set up, so I just added some graphite to the nut, tuned it up, and off we went. It doesn't have quite as loud a tone as some of my other guitars, but that may be because of the single coil pickups. Tuning machines work fine, unlike other inexpensive guitars I've owned, and seem to hold their tune well. I did ...

I did write to support about and issue with one of the knobs, since resolved and a request to recommend what type of strings it should use. Haven't heard about the strings as yet.

I am really impressed with how good this guitar is and would highly recommend. The tuning pegs are surprisingly good, and after smoothing out the nut slots with some sandpaper and lubricating them with pencil lead, I'm having no tuning problems. The body is beautiful, I really like the slightly chunky neck (it's good for SRV neck grips on Pride and Joy), and the pickups sound okay. I had to take one star off because of a weird problem with the truss rod. When I "loosen" the truss rod (lefty ...

The body is beautiful, I really like the slightly chunky neck (it's good for SRV neck grips on Pride and Joy), and the pickups sound okay. I had to take one star off because of a weird problem with the truss rod. When I "loosen" the truss rod (lefty loosey) to add relief and lower the action,I get a LOT of resistance, but when I tighten the rod (righty tighty) for a flatter neck, the resistance goes away to nothing. It's backwards... bizarro. I had to lower the action, and the resistance seriously made me worry I was going to brake the neck, so they lose a star. On a funny note, Fedex for some reason shipped the guitar from Los Angeles, to Alabama, then back to Los Angles to my home, kinda weird.

Very good for the price. Pickups are under powered. Decent build quality. Some string buzz that I can not get rid of. Comfortable neck and fast playability. Holds tune fairly well if you don't use the whammy bar.

Fairly solid guitar for the price point. Box arrived in good shape, guitar was well packaged. Noticed a few minor finish flaws, but that to be expected at this price. Nothing a little polishing compound couldn't take care of. Strings were stuck in sustain block when I tried to change them. Ended up changing out the whole bridge with a squire bridge/block I had left over. Original bridge was VERY light. Only found 2 high frets, filed and recrowned them. Polished all of the frets due to tool marks ...

Ended up changing out the whole bridge with a squire bridge/block I had left over. Original bridge was VERY light. Only found 2 high frets, filed and recrowned them. Polished all of the frets due to tool marks. Neck was virtually unfinished, so I hit it with some aged clear and a satin top coat. Nut was cut comically high and made of plastic so I made a new bone nut to replace. Tuners were so-so. I disassembled and hit them with some teflon lube. They are much smoother now but still eventually worth an upgrade. Electronics are what you'd expect, serviceable, but not extraordinary. May upgrade in the future if budget permits. The unit was playable as it arrived, but after a couple hours of work to get things to my liking, it's a total sleeper, very satisfied for $70 shipped. Will be going after one of the telecasters in the near future for another fun tinkering/upgrade project.

First, I wish I could have bought a guitar like this when I started back in 1966. Cheap guitars back then were terrible, This is a good guitar for $69.99. Yes the truss rod can use an adjustment, the tuners are only OK and it doesn't stay in tune all that well. I saw that the action was high, but then I decided to use it as a slide guitar. Perfect! It's not very expensive to do a set up on this guy and it would be fine. Great for beginners and Modders. Again, for $69.99 how can you NOT get ...

Prompt shipping, arrived as expected. Tuned it up and started playing. I would recommend this to anyone.

on April 07, 2020

Arrived in timely manner .

on March 23, 2020

I like this guitar. Non playable as arrived but I expected to do a complete setup on it. Bad strings, cannot intonate low E, new strings coming. Will see if this fixed intonation error. I like the fully adjustable bridge. Minor mislocation of fret 14 by 0.012 inches but I think that won't affect playability.

on February 29, 2020

Great guitar for the price. Shipped quickly.

on February 13, 2020

Love this guitar. I just ordered a tele style I can't wait.

on February 08, 2020

Well worth the price I paid. Holds tune well and sounds great. I waxed it when I got it and its beautiful.

on January 08, 2020

Very good value and plays nicely without a lot of set up. My main complaint is the finish, you can see the circular buffer marks on the front of guitar but not a big deal. I would buy another and I just might.

My story is a little complicated, so please bear with me. I originally ordered and received the Sunset colored Strat model with black pickguard and maple fingerboard. When it arrived, I found unfortunately that, somewhere along the line, a couple of the screws bolting the neck onto the body had been torn partially out of their holes, leaving splintered wood, and indicating that the guitar had experienced a fairly substantial trauma of some sort. Otherwise it was a great-looking guitar. Cu ...

Otherwise it was a great-looking guitar. Customer Service was very nice (via email), and we quickly worked out an agreement under which I decided on the same color, only in the Telecaster style, and I paid the additional $20.00 to cover the cost differential on the Tele. And, rather than having me send back the damaged Strat model, the representative told me I could just keep it. I'll probably give it to a friend who likes to tinker, and see if he can do some repair work and pass it on to someone in need. I have since received the Tele-style model, and it is very nice. I decided to upgrade the bridge saddles, but basically I found that 1) the neck and fretwork are good; and 2) the nut is actually cut with reasonable accuracy-- hooray! I put a new set of 10's on it, and it plays and sounds great!

Not bad at all! I love the feel of the neck! Great job Glarry! I setup the neck and got the intonation set. Plugged into the headrush pedal board amp simulator and this guitar rocks for the money! It definitely has a Stratocaster style sound. Once i dialed in the same type rig Jimmy Hendrix used, The glarry guitar had no problems with getting that old strat tone. The pickups are pretty quiet and work perfect when useing studio expander gates and noise filters. The guitar is as quiet as a peep. G ...

The packaging could be better, the box showed that it had a rough trip. The Guitar had damage on the head stock, looking like it was dropped on that side. Double boxing would probably take care of that. The finish and playability were good upon arrival needing only the action lowered a bit, and the pickup height adjusted. The electronics all work, the bridge & tremolo functional, the controls all move well and the tuners actually work pretty good. The sound is good, and for the price its a steal ...

The shipping packaging is the only con I could come up with. Great value & playability for a great price.

Great at the price. Out of the box string action was really high and the pickups were almost level with the pickguard, so expect a fair amount of set-up work. I am a complete novice at setting up guitars, but after a few youtube videos and some trial and error it's set-up nicely.

on December 11, 2019

It's a beginner level guitar. It needed a truss rod tweak. New strings and a saddle height adjustment. It is now completely playable. It has one of the nicest necks I have ever seen on a guitar in my 25 years around guitars. There are no sharp fret ends and the neck is rolled very nicely. Great fret size and a joy to play. All electronics are solid and it stays in tune amazingly well. Negatives..finish quality is not the greatest but no glaring flaws. And the tuners are cheap but, as mentioned, ...

All electronics are solid and it stays in tune amazingly well. Negatives..finish quality is not the greatest but no glaring flaws. And the tuners are cheap but, as mentioned, they hold tune, just kind of sloppy or tight depending on which string your tuning. Overall this is the nicest guitar I have ever bought for a mere $63.98 delivered. Better than many I have paid considerably more for. Plus you get a bag. Something you don't even get with most $500 guitars!

on December 10, 2019

I had to raise the bridges on the upper strings to remove the buzzing frets, and also lengthen the lower strings to tune the octave. We're good to go now. Tone is good. Low distortion pickups and wide tone control. I especially like the maple neck. Everyone who has reviewed the instrument, each described a different problem. But for under $70 and a little setup time you can't beat the Glarry.

on December 10, 2019

A real bargain for the price.

Great guitar

on December 08, 2019

I loved this guitar!! is very pretty, has a great weight to it, I havent tried it with an amp yet so no comment on that. the only issue i have with it is that theres a dead fret, easy fix tho

on November 25, 2019

Decent guitar is almost an exact copy of an 60s/70s Stratocaster. Beautiful finish is fairly soft and scratches easily, but it may not be completely cured. Strings are really awful - poor action and tone but a set of Ernie Ball Hybrids fixed noth issues. Tone is surprisingly good through all 3 pickups. Amplifier has decent sound and power but there's an odd hum at some, but not all, settings that may be coming from the amp, the guitar pickups or controls, the supplied cable (very cheap!), or the ...

I have another amp and cable but haven't had time to test them out. Overall, a nice starter guitar kit, especially for the price!
