Glarry GTL Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar HS Pickups F Hole Blue Burlywood Wine Red Transparent Yellow

By R***r

February 28, 2021

This is my second yellow GTL semi-hollow, I returned the first for the same issue: the bridge is placed low and is mounted crooked. The first string is barely over the bridge pickup pole piece and the string through body holes are mostly covered by the bridge. It is easy to see how the bridge is rotated if you examine the distance between the top of the bridge plate and the bottom of the pickguard. I applaud Glarry's customer service in trying to make it right, they have issued an order to sen ...

The guitar arrived promptly and overall looked good, a few sharp frets but for the price point it's to be expected. The reason this review is 4 stars and not 5 is because the screw in the top tuner arrived bent which caused the tuner to lean. This shouldn't be a major issues to fix, but it would have been nice if the guitar was playable out of the box.

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 ...

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 ... 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 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?

This is my second Glarry guitar. I was sufficiently satisfied with the cheaper model that I managed to shuffle my budget enough to get the semi-hollow body version and I'm even more delighted than I was with the solid-body T-style (GTL). I'm wary of budget guitars because many of them are essentially junk, but not so with Glarry. I've watched numerous YouTube reviews and most of them are quite positive. I have to say, they're being totally honest. There are tiny imperfections in the overall ...

I saw some reviews on YouTube and decided to take a chance. I know that some budget guitars can be a huge disappointment, but people seem to like Glary. So I parted with the cash and waited for it to arrive, knowing that some of the guitars in YouTube reviews arrived with shipping damage. Upon inspection, I found a large crack in the back, and a smaller crack near the neck pocket. I was disappointed but I contacted Glarry via e-mail and it was no problem. They shipped out a replacement guit ...

Very light, pretty cool looking finish too. Intonation was all I had to mess with for a nice little guitar. I have a few complaints, but nothing I didnt expect from such a great price. The one thing I dont love (hence the three stars) is the crack in the body. I can't quite tell if this is in the paint, or wood, but it is a pretty substantial crack that wraps around the guitar.

Got the guitar and decided to black it out. New black hardware all around. Back of neck was pretty rough so a little sanding and it was good to go. Truss rod adjustment to straighten the neck a little bit and set string height and intonation and it plays great. Really like the sound from the neck pickup but the bridge is a little harsh. Original tuners were not great but I've seen worse. Very happy with it now.

The bad - Fret 21 was "dead". Strings slightly off center to the neck (slightly to the low E string). Does not hinder playing. The good - it was an easy fix (on a guitar I plan on modding anyway). This guitar plays nice. Adjusted the string height and intonation. The amazing - the finish on the body is amazing - not for the price point, amazing period. It's a beautiful guitar. This sound is way better than expected. It sounds really good (great for the price point). And, the price itself ...

I've been looking to purchase the Red Glarry GTL for several months. It's usually out of stock, but I got lucky and ordered just when they restocked. I'm 69 years old and have been playing the guitar since age 12. From the late Sixties through the early Seventies I played in local bands. I've owned Vintage Fender, Gibson, Guild, Gretsch, as well as high end imports from Japan - Ibanez Artist, Washburn, Yamaha SG. I currently own over 40 guitars. I purchased the Glarry GTL in the color Red. The G ...

UPDATE 2022/05/02 I've owned the GTL Semi-Hollow for over a year now. A year ago I just couldn't adjust the guitar. These guitars are not built using seasoned wood. So it takes about a year for them to dry out and settle in. I left my GTL in a case with a light humidifier. Now, after a year the Neck Relief holds and the guitar stays in tune. I found the Neck Humbucker sounded very muddy with little high end response. The stock Humbucker measured 7956 Ohms. This is rather low for a Humbucker. B ... UPDATE 2022/05/02 I've owned the GTL Semi-Hollow for over a year now. A year ago I just couldn't adjust the guitar. These guitars are not built using seasoned wood. So it takes about a year for them to dry out and settle in. I left my GTL in a case with a light humidifier. Now, after a year the Neck Relief holds and the guitar stays in tune. I found the Neck Humbucker sounded very muddy with little high end response. The stock Humbucker measured 7956 Ohms. This is rather low for a Humbucker. BTW, the stock Single-Coil, in the Bridge Position is a Ceramic Magnet pickup and measures 5733 Ohms. I replaced the Neck Humbucker with a Fender Humbucker from a Squier Bullet Mustang. I had them in my parts bin as I replaced the Mustang's stock pickups with P90s. The new Humbucker measured 9613 Ohms, and doesn't sport a metal cover. I also replaced the GTL's stock 250K Volume and Tone Controls with 500K Pots. And I replaced the stock 0.47mf Capacitor with a 0.22mf Capacitor. All these changes add up to increased punch and treble response from the Neck Humbucker Pickup. Finally, I applied three coats of Lemon Oil to the Neck and Fretboard. Wow! What a difference. Now the GTL not only plays well, it sounds great. Neck Pickup is rich and full toned. Bridge Pickup is bright as a Tele should be. Best of all, when Both Pickups are selected together the sound is just perfect. I enjoy playing my GTL better than playing my Vintage Fender MIJ Jerry Donahue Telecaster. The Glarry is much lighter weight - which is easier on my 70 year old body! 2021/01/25 I've been looking to purchase the Red Glarry GTL for several months. It's usually out of stock, but I got lucky and ordered just when they restocked. I'm 69 years old and have been playing the guitar since age 12. From the late Sixties through the early Seventies I played in local bands. I've owned Vintage Fender, Gibson, Guild, Gretsch, as well as high end imports from Japan - Ibanez Artist, Washburn, Yamaha SG. I currently own over 40 guitars. I purchased the Glarry GTL in the color Red. The Guitar arrived in just a few days. Unfortunately, UPS manhandled the package, and left it unattended in the lobby of my apartment building! The shipping box was beat up and the otherwise flawless guitar had a chip in the lower edge. No matter that this guitar cost less than $120, it represents a beautiful musical instrument to me. Glarry Customer Service was fantastic and refunded me a portion of the sale price. For many years I've been doing my own guitar setups, including fret dressing if needed. The Glarry GTL came playable right out of the box. The setup was suitable for a beginner, but not to my Specs. I lowered the action using a 12 to 15 degree fretboard radius, and intonated the strings. That was it. The Guitar plays beautifully now. No rough frets and no sharp, overhanging fret ends. The pickups are balanced - more so than my US Made Fender Telecaster with Lace Sensors installed! I love the light weight of the GTL. It's easy on this old body. Like I said, other than damage by UPS, this guitar is FLAWLESS. If you're thinking of buying one, by all means do it! What a great value. Thank you Glarry Music.

Bought this guitar to keep in my RV when we're camping. It arrived in just few days in perfect condition. I needed to buff the fret ends, not sharp but a little rough, Lowered the action, replaced the strings and adjusted the intonation. Just these items made the guitar play better than I expected. You just can't go wrong with this for the price. Yeah the tone control isn't the greatest, but overall well worth the price.

I'm an average guitar player. I have a couple of Ibanez with humbuckers but really missed that single coil Strat sound. Picked this up last week and I'm very impressed. Fit and finish is exceptional for the price point. I put a set of Ernie balls on it and that really made it sing. Pickups are decent with good output and sound good clean and distorted. I was very impressed that there is no hum at all. I will say if you're even remotely expecting a fender forget it. This thing weighs half o ...

I love this guitar. I bought this mainly because I have a red semi hollow body, a white fender and wanted a blue body to finish out the colors and the price was right. I never expected it to play that well without a lot of work. I have replaced the string because of preference but other than that I haven't had a lot of fine tuning to do. I also bought a black bass guitar at the same time (because i gave my blue one to my son). Anyway great job. Now I should just pull the trigger and get a ...

This is my third Glarry guitar. And I tell you the quality is getting better and better. The fret ends are perfect. The finish is beautiful. And of course it sounds as good as it looks.

Well, my guitar arrived today. --- I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. It arrived on the 29th. Not too upset about that because I ordered it on the 18th, knowing it could take up to 10 days for delivery. Well, being all excited when it arrived, when I saw the box, I was immediately concerned. When I opened it, my concerns came to reality. The body is crushed and it must be returned. Overall, the guitar looks good but I didn't do much more than open it, unpack it, and pack it back up. Can't say much more at this time. Hopefully customer service will be better than the shape the guitar arrived. ................ UPDATE - 1-15-21 Upon the arrival of the damaged guitar, I contacted Glarry customer service. The customer service manager I worked with, Manager Lin, was incredibly responsive and helpful! The guitar was replaced immediately! Because the guitar that I ordered was not in stock at the time, I was given the option to wait until it was in stock or the option of choosing another guitar that was in stock. Because it was a gift, I wanted to replace it as soon as I could and so I chose a different guitar from the Glarry inventory. The guitar was immediately put on order and I received it roughly 12 to 15 days later. All through this time, the service manager was in contact with me and was very helpful and responsive to my messages. As you know, these guitars are quite competitively priced but they are worth every penny and more! I've been playing guitar for nearly all of my life and I really enjoy the guitar I bought for my child. It's a fantastic beginner guitar and to be honest, I'm considering getting one for myself for fun! The classic question: Would I buy from Glarry again? Heck yes! The only problem I had during this entire transition was the worry about how the guitar would arrive. They are not packed very well and so I was "biting my nails" while waiting for the second guitar to arrive. it arrived in PERFECT condition! Thanks Glarry and thanks to a very responsive customer service department!

The guitar arrived safely and quick. The neck: good fret work, plays well kinda chunky, action was not bad. The body: very nice finish, nice binding. Now the bad: the bridge pick up doesn't work at all. Nothing but buzzing. I'm going to have to go under the hood and have a look. Hopefully it's a simple fix. How a guitar could pass a quality control inspection with a pickup not working is puzzling. Having about 3 hours playing time on this guitar, the neck looks like an older guitar. Good guitar ...
