Let me first say I bought this to be a project guitar, where I can fix things, mod things, etc. It's my hobby. I'd say this is the perfect guitar for such a project.

This Glarry, for all its little faults, is a far better starting point for what I want to achieve, and the price is unbeatable.

Let me first say I bought this to be a project guitar, where I can fix things, mod things, etc. It's my hobby. I'd say this is the perfect guitar for such a project. To put this in perspective, I paid much more for a Squier Bullet Telecaster as a project guitar that turned out to be a nightmare. This Glarry, for all its little faults, is a far better starting point for what I want to achieve, and the price is unbeatable.
It's playable out of the box, but not for professionals. Lowering the strings to nice action will produce a lot of buzz. No problem. I already have the neck off and will later level, crown, and polish the frets. It's getting a new bone nut today, and I already have a new brass compensating bridge that will fit perfectly. I may get some new pickups, but that's just for vanity's sake. The stock pickups sound fine. Some copper tape in the pickup and control cavities will reduce any 60hz hum. I've barely started, and I'm already having a blast with this guitar.
I will definitely get one or more Glarry guitars in the future. When my project is done, I'll come back and post a picture.
