Glarry 170 Type Electric Guitar Black Sunset

on July 22,2020

Great guitar! Love the style and came with a bunch of useful accessories. I also love the sound of the humbucker pickups, and how it comes with the cord and whammy. If you are looking for a good guitar at a good price, there is many good guitars on this site. Surprisingly, it's actually better than my Fender guitar as well.

Although I love how well the guitar is built and the feel of the neck, the playability is very lacking. Right out of the box mine has fret buzz and buzzing when I play open cords. I wasn't expecting a master quality guitar but I had hoped that I would be able to tune it and play without much issues.

Not a bad guitar for a $100. Basically an Ibanez copy. It is an attractive body style, and I like the way it plays. The light weight body makes it a lot more more practical to play for longer periods of time. I basically bought it as a base to build a custom gig guitar so I am currently in the middle of replacing some of the components and doing some modifications to it. I will be having it set up and fine tuned by my guitar tech when finished. Will probably have about $00 ad some change in it w ...

I will be having it set up and fine tuned by my guitar tech when finished. Will probably have about $00 ad some change in it when finished, so it still makes it semi-affordable for a custom guitar fit to my specs. Overall, it is a decent starter guitar for someone learning to play.

Glarry are offering me a replacement. This guitar was a bit of a friday night job. Not up to their usual standard. But I am sure the guitar will be great if there is no damage.

It's a 5 star for sure. With the quality provided along with all the accessories, it's a strong package. Usually with low budget guitars, you have the issue of awful intonation and bridge action, but the glarry 170 is actually pretty close to set right out of the box. Holds tune. The humbuckers play nicely. I highly recommend it, not just to new players, but experienced players as well.

Both my local luthier (and teacher), and I were very surprised with the quality of the guitar, especially at such a low price. I was looking for something cheap that may need some work done it, and in that sense I was a little disappointed. All it had that needed to be fixed up was a sticky pickup screw and a hole drilled for slightly (like a millimeter) misaligned pickup guard screw. And we took it apart looking for SOMETHING of significance to fix. Im very happy with my purchase. It plays grea ...

Keep a Tele model ready for me. ;)

0 stars. They forced me to pick at least 1 star for submission, but a big fat goose egg is what I give them. Product arrived defective. Tone and volume knobs were loose and due to poor packing, the tip of the headstock had rubbed up against the cardboard box and the paint was worn off. Attempted to notify customer service about the defect - took 4 days for their response and they advised me to take it to a local repair shop and send them the bill for 'reimbursement'.

Attempted to notify customer service about the defect - took 4 days for their response and they advised me to take it to a local repair shop and send them the bill for 'reimbursement'. Poorly set up and poor action. I fixed the loose knobs myself but the paint defect will always be there. My first time buying from Glarry - and definitely my last! I won't recommend them to anyone. They probably won't post this negative review because they tend only to post rants and raves - probably from paid actors. Terrible - all the way around.

Body of guitar had 2 small dents in the woof that looked like was there before it was painted. Once I tuned the guitar, sounded good. No real complaints, good starter guitar at incredibly affordable price for beginner.

The guitar was delvered quickly. but had a few scratches on it and the whammy bar didn't fit. I let Glarry know I wasn't satisfied with my purchase and they immediately gave me a full refund. I'm in Sales and I know occasionally somethng can go wrong with a purchase, but it's how the problem is handled by the seller that makes the difference between a good and an average/bad company. Thanks, Glarry!!

It's a long while since I bought my first Glarry guitar, and they keep getting better. The neck frets and finish on this 24 fret Ibanez RG copy are close to perfect. I'll upgrade the bridge humbucker but I do upgrades on pricey guitars. Glarry seem to be using careful delivery firms now, so minimal packaging and free delivery is no longer a concern.
