Glarry GTL Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar SS Pickups F Hole Black Blue Burlywood Orange Sunset

on April 11,2021

I wanted to try a glarry and I liked the the look of the semihollow guitar. I found the guitar in good playable condition out of the box. It was well more than triple the cost. The finish was excellent and the sound was very good.

The positives outweigh the negatives with this guitar. I got the natural finish and it's beautiful and the pickups are very good and I will not change them, I have 7 Tellys and I know how a Telly is supposed to sound. The problem is the neck, it's a baseball bat and the position dots are painted on and began to smear as soon as i played it. Fortunately I had a spare Telly neck that matched the body color perfectly, I put on locking tuners and this guitar is a gem. If Glarry would provide a n ...

If Glarry would provide a neck with a workable radius they would be taking a step in the right direction..

I just took my new guitar Saturday plugged it in and played it outdoors in the park with my band mates and it was perfect all I got was compliments you did a great job on this hollow telly other people have complained that maybe they had to get it set up or do whatever not me. I'm lending this instrument to a friend of mine while his are in repair so while it may not play it for a month or two it was an absolute success all I had to do was tune it up thank you

Looks fairly good. But even after having a local shop try and set it up for me, the action is incredibly high to the point it makes playing very difficult. Also very difficult to get in touch with customer support. The provided customer support email doesn't work and 10+ phone calls with no answer from the customer support number.

Customer service quickly addressed the issue and issued a full refund.

The guitar arrived promptly and I appreciate that. I love the guitar and the finish but it gets a lot of fret buzz on the low E (6) string. So I will have to take it to a guitar repair store to adjust the neck. Thanks, Barry

A quick review! I recieved the Semi Hollow Telecaster as advertised and has great bones for the $$$. Expect to do some or all othe following... The intonation was not quite right, andfound out that it was mainly because of the Plastic Nut being a bit too high which I could have filed and sanded but decided just to replace with a Fender Tele 42mm Bone Nut, and presto! :) Knew the guitar would probably have to be setup (Other reviews) and tweaked as most do, but I like doing that stuff. So I foll ...

A quick review! I recieved the Semi Hollow Telecaster as advertised and has great bones for the $$$. Expect to do some or all othe following... The intonation was not quite right, andfound out that it was mainly because of the Plastic Nut being a bit too high which I could have filed and sanded but decided just to replace with a Fender Tele 42mm Bone Nut, and presto! :) Knew the guitar would probably have to be setup (Other reviews) and tweaked as most do, but I like doing that stuff. So I followed the YouTube videos using a 6 inch straight edge, feeler gages, micrometer while leaving the mfg strings on until Truss Rod adjustments settle then I'll fine tune. I did lower action and loosened strings to tighten Truss to help straighten the neck so as to help with lowering the action. All in all a nice configuration. Once figured out completely: 1. I plan to fine sand and polish the neck when removing the strings. 2. Shield all the Pup, and switch cavities against EMF with copper tape I have. May also replace the Neck Pup if it is lacking (as I have a few) but will wait and see at that stage of testing. 3. Replace tuners with Tulip period appropriate tuners and Regular Slinky Stings using 10mm to 9mm conversion bushings. 4. Replace OEM with Brass Bridge compensated saddles? Maybe later. Thanks Glarry, Sold! Happy Customer

UPDATE: (3 stars) Major issue found but after I had setup in the first review. 1. The Bolt On Neck scews were not seated straight, and were apparently hand drilled at an angle? (See pictures) 2. Also these screws were screwed threw the Basswood body and into the Maple neck. The Fix? Was to do like Fender does and drill Pilot holes the same size as screws through the body, this allowed just enough relief to allow the Neck to seat properly into the pocket and screw heads to set flush in the Bo ...

Also these screws were screwed threw the Basswood body and into the Maple neck. The Fix? Was to do like Fender does and drill Pilot holes the same size as screws through the body, this allowed just enough relief to allow the Neck to seat properly into the pocket and screw heads to set flush in the Bolt On Plate's chamfers. I did not want to send back because of all the time spent setting up before I noticed this when removing the neck to inspect. Sigh First review below and is when I gave it 5 stars I received the Semi Hollow Telecaster on time and as it was advertised, great bones for the $$$. However, you should plan to do some or all of the following... The basic intonation was a bit funky and not quite right, investigating I found out that it was mainly because of the Bridge barrel height and the plastic neck Nut also set too high which I could have just filed and sanded but decided to just to replace OEM Nut with a Fender Tele, 42mm Bone Nut for max sustain, and presto it DIALED RIGHT IN! :) I knew the guitar would probably have to be setup (Per other kind reviews and Randy Schartiger's setup tutorials like this: https://youtu.be/nJygtvdFj-E ) Randy's channel on How To Do Guitar Repair and or do Setups are all "On The Money" :) So find one and tweak as required. That is, if a person has time to learn basic luthier setups and is handy with inspection tools then this is for you. Use mfgs Allen keys, a 6 inch straight edge, feeler gages, and a micrometer while leaving the mfg strings on; after Truss Rod adjustments settled down, (noticed it had too much relief when I lowered the bridge and nut, so I loosened the strings and tightened the Truss Rod which worked. All in all a nice configuration. Once the guitar is figure out completely I plan to -1. Fine sand and polish the neck. 2. Shield all the cavities against EMF noise. 3. Replace the Bridge Pup bc it is micro phonic and tinny. 4. Replace tuners with Tulip retro style ones, while using 10mm to 9mm conversion bushings. 5. Restring with Reg. Slinky Stings because the stock strings sound like a Sitar. (Stock strings, corrosion I thought after watching this video: https://youtu.be/se0vKIQDBYs?list=WL 5. Replace OEM saddles with Brass compensated saddles, perhaps?
