Basic Strat type in burst finish at $65 delivered to central VA from MD... in a plain box and some foam and a sleeve to protect it. Cord, strap, plain unpadded gig bag, tremolo bar. It's a $65 delivered guitar, so it is cheap in every way for the components: light woods, light steel in the frets, budget metal in the hardware and tuners. BUT... if you can do basic setup and have regular tools of a setup, it is nearly set up. The plastic nut needs all 6 slots deepened a biti and the action is almo ...
Basic Strat type in burst finish at $65 delivered to central VA from MD... in a plain box and some foam and a sleeve to protect it. Cord, strap, plain unpadded gig bag, tremolo bar. It's a $65 delivered guitar, so it is cheap in every way for the components: light woods, light steel in the frets, budget metal in the hardware and tuners. BUT... if you can do basic setup and have regular tools of a setup, it is nearly set up. The plastic nut needs all 6 slots deepened a biti and the action is almost OK.... 1/16" for the E to D and the bass A and E are about 3/32" over the 12th fret. For most guys, good enough. No switch or pot noise. Jack nuts cannot be loosened easily, so just accept that the threaded trube-shaft sticks out a bit. For VERY cheap, it is pretty good and VERY light. Chunky neck needs to be smoothed with 320 grit paper lightly and I took of the GLARRY inked logo easily. I wiped the clean and humidified neck (damp sponge in the box with the removed neck alone) with a light coat of tung oil (TRUOIL). All fret ends needed just a touch of 3-corner fret end file and the frets are polished off with carborundum cloth. If you have good basic skipps, it's a pretty good guitar for cheap. If you want quality, get a USED Squier Standard or even Affinity and have it set up. Glarry is delivering cheap for cheap cost and FAST delivery to the door. As a Strat, it is 'good enough' to own and hone skills on. It is a budget guitar well done and the 4 center screws of the bridge are not drilled prefectly as a machine would do. My guess is that workers are doing the tasks fast to get them out and china is NOT a free country.Accept that.
Service Team:
Dear customer: thank you for your review, this will help us improve the guitar better. As far as I know, China is an open country. I think the Western media are not objective enough about it. We need to hear different voices.
