This was a nice surprise since this was my first acoustic-electric guitar I purchased from Glarry Music. The guitar was packaged double boxed (very secure) and arrived promptly. The quality of the construction was better than expected and so was the see through Black finish. My finger board was very dark and the frets were reasonably smooth on this model. Even the gig bag was made of heavier material to protect the guitar from rain and dust - even keep little kid's sticky fingers off it. Conside ...
This was a nice surprise since this was my first acoustic-electric guitar I purchased from Glarry Music. The guitar was packaged double boxed (very secure) and arrived promptly. The quality of the construction was better than expected and so was the see through Black finish. My finger board was very dark and the frets were reasonably smooth on this model. Even the gig bag was made of heavier material to protect the guitar from rain and dust - even keep little kid's sticky fingers off it. Considering it comes with budget strings it still has a nice tone. Allow your instrument to warm to room temperature and give it two days to allow stretching to occur to hold tune. Use a small Phillip's head screw driver to tighten the screws on the machine head knobs and snug screws mounting machine heads to head stock. I would recommend this to a beginner and even an experienced player needing a travel guitar as very little adjustment is needed out of the box to play it - tuning strings and tightening the machine head wings is normal for all guitars. An allen key is needed if you may need to straighten or add bow to the neck - allow it to adjust to room temperature before and after tuning it to check straightness of neck. My instrument did not require any truss rod adjustment and I experienced no fret bar buzzing. My suggestion is to purchase a better quality strap for this fine guitar, several Pics (start with mediums - ,72 - .80, and after playing it several months with the stock strings replace the strings with D'Addarios, Ernie Ball, or Martin strings and you will be amazed at the difference in tone and volume. The only real issue with my model, which was easy to fix (watched a Youtube video), was that the wiring harness between the controls and the receptacle had not been attached to the side of the guitar - was dangling in front of the sound hole. I just applied a small piece of two sided tape to the plastic mount and attached it to the side of the body.
