Very please with the GTL Tele, Glarry custom service and notifications were very well received...I'd even say better communication than some of the big retailers...good job Glarry!

on February 08, 2021

My tele arrived today and since this was my first (but definitely not last) Glarry, I didn't know exactly what to expect, regardless of YouTube reviews. This is an excellent example of what can be done on a limited budget, but with the important things recognized and dealt with properly to offer what I consider an absolute steal of a guitar. Workmanship is as good, and in some cases better than what you'd expect in a $300 guitar, much less one that is sub $100. A corner that is usually cut on ...

Workmanship is as good, and in some cases better than what you'd expect in a $300 guitar, much less one that is sub $100. A corner that is usually cut on guitars in this price range is fret sprout...but not in my guitar. I was prepared to do a little smoothing, but none is needed. The color is not exactly what I was expecting, but the body looks great. The only negative is the pickups, which are a bit unbalanced as far as volume level goes, but actually don't sound too bad. Overall, a highly recommended 3 thumbs up from me....

Guitar sounds great. NO string buzz, no failed frets. I updated the tuners. Very satisfied with the guitar. I also bought a case. Half the price of a recommended case that came with another brand of guitar. Beautiful tweed color. No complaints with anything. Excellent entry-level equipment!!

Bought this from Glarry before i did i watched youtube about how the guitar was and the build the Only thing I didn't see was that the fret ends should be checked before even being played by anyone even if you bought it for your child could end up with cuts on your hand like I did and didn't even notice the frets nice looking guitar but needs to be checked out before playing

For $89 shipped, this built guitar (Telly )is cheaper than a kit from most places save Ebay. The neck pickup overpowered by the bridge, which is crazy hot and sounds pretty good without that icepick sound. The neck pickup sounds pretty good, just low compared to the bridge. Middle position is imbalanced because of this. I took the pickguard off and the neck pickup is routed for a humbucker if needed.

Middle position is imbalanced because of this. I took the pickguard off and the neck pickup is routed for a humbucker if needed. There was wax/dust under the pickguard that when pressed down when the pickguard was screwed down created some pits in the finish... not a big deal, it was $89 shipped. Body is really light, neck is thick and a little heavy. I am going to change the neck because there were high frets and when I lowered the action, it started buzzing. not gonna waste my time with the installed neck when its too thick and heavy. I adjusted the truss rod, replaced strings with 9's. Nut was surprisingly cut well, but fret 2 was a little sharp(in pitch, meaning the nut has to be adjusted). . Intonation was close enough and glarry provided tools to set up, plus a pick and strap and dust cover.... for 89$. Thats five stars in my book. especially for a project guitar. Oh and another thing, this thing is Loud acoustically. I think its the bass wood and that large cavity in the neck. This is not the hollowbody version, and still you could easily practice with this guitar without an amp. Still five stars. Going to change to coil split rail humbuckers and reverse headstock neck.

This guitar exceeds the price, I had no quaility issues at all, plug and play. Personally I will set up to my liking but happy to add this to my collection

on January 27, 2021

This guitar can without any damage, the tone is mediocre. Two strings broke while trying to tune it first which was annoying since it was supposed to be brand new. I had bought this more as a guitar to experiment with so expectations weren't really high. Won't be buying again.

on January 23, 2021

Excellent product and service! Thank you so much!!!! My only suggestion is to make it easier for customers to leave reviews and put some of them up for people to see:) I wish you all happiness.

I ordered my GTL electric guitar on a Sunday night. By Monday evening, I had received a notice from UPS it was in their system for delivery. My guitar was delivered to my house by Friday afternoon, so approximately 5 business days to receive it. The guitar was delivered without any damage incurred during shipment.

I lowered the strings, and over a few days I gave the truss bar a couple of one quarter turns. The action is very good. A few days later I had to reverse a quarter turn as I got a small amount of buzzing on one fret only, it has since improved. The intonation is very good up to the twelfth fret, a little sharp thereafter. The guitar will hold its tuning. The scale is exactly 25.5 inches, similar to the benchmark of another company. Overall, the quality for the price is very good, I would recommend it to other purchasers. It is a good guitar for beginners, practice, or if you are traveling somewhere.

Great sound. Like all new guitars it needed a personalized setup. Excellent. I have recommended Glarry to several fri9.

on January 21, 2021

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 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 ...

Awesome company thumbs up. Excellent guitar

on January 16, 2021

I think that the look on my son's face, when his guitar was delivered, as well as how I felt when he started playing it, was worth everything in the world. The guitar is beautiful, and the sound it delivers is awesome. I can't thank you enough for helping me give my son the best birthday that I can remember.

Lightweight and nice sound

Better then I expected

on January 14, 2021

This guitar is so much better then I thought it could be. As a life long musician who is on a very VERY tight budget due to Covid-19 I thought I would give this a try, not expecting much, wow was I wrong!! This guitar is beautiful, sounds great, is well made and needed almost no adjustments out of the box (new strings and I lowered the action, but that's because of my persoanl preference) .

I have told everyone guitar player I know how pleased I am with this guitar and have talked quite a few into trying one for themselves...I usually don't give such long reviews, but I am beyond happy with this...THANK YOU GLARRY.. When I am able to put together a bit of extra cash I am definitely going to try one of the Bass Guitars, and if it's half as good as the guitar I will be over the moon!!!!

Got this for my boyfriend. Before we recieved it, we were expecting at least a few dings or chips in it. But let me tell you, this thing is absolutely beautiful. There were no chips on it at all. Color wise, we weren't expecting it to be that beautiful. For the price, you cant go wrong. Trust rod hole was slightly off center. But that's nothing that a dremel cant fix. All in all I'm satisfied with it. :)

on January 12, 2021

Small chip from shipping but the guitar is excellent. Very happy and will be looking to buy another.

on January 10, 2021

Fir the price this guitar is fantastic. Fast shipping and great service, thank Glarry!!!

I'm still tweaking, but this seems to be a guitar that is solid built and has good hardware and electronics (especially for cheaper P'ups) that make this a player from the shipping box. Paint and finish are really good for the cost of this Beauty in the Woods.I'm thoroughly impressed with just how much you can do with less these days. My first guitars weren't in this category at all. All I can say is buy one before they go up in price or become a rarity. You won't be disappointed for the money s ...

on January 09, 2021

I heard these guitars were pretty good quality for the price and it is! Arrived without any dings or scratches looks amazing. Upgrade the pickups and strings and you'll have a really good beginner guitar!

on January 06, 2021

Guitar is adequate for $90 bucks, light weight, nice finish, workable electronics, but not a refined instrument. Good beginner guitar or great for modding, but be advised, some parts are cheap. Glued plastic nut, soft fret metal, usable tuning machines, and a Truss rod nut that is very soft and susceptible to damage if not careful.

The guitar it's self is really pretty color blue. No sign of fret sprouting. The guitar would not stay in tune with the strings that come on the guitar, sorry Glarry the strings are junk. However once I put a set of 9 or 9.5 strings on it and locked the strings ( YouTube how to lock your guitar strings) took a pencil and lubricates the string trees , nut and the saddles it stays in tune longer. I did polish the frets , they were ok out of the box this was more of a personal preference. Neck is c ...

I did polish the frets , they were ok out of the box this was more of a personal preference. Neck is chunky so that may take some getting use to but not bad. Pick ups are about average and sounds ok but that's a thing that is personal preference. The volume pot does need some attention when rolling the tone down from all the way up does go completely blank , no sound then roll it to almost off and you can hear sound again. It's a cheap guitar so you can not expect the moon. Overall I'm happy with the guitar and think that at the price your paying for it you can mod it whatever way you want( witching reason) and not spend a fortune. Note that Glarry is not paying me to write this. I am a everyday player nothing special or fancy and this is just my opinion.

The box it was shipping in was in great condition. As for the guitar, light weight great finish. No fret sprout and the neck was straight. The tuners are ok but that is something I intended to replace anyway. I like the neck pickup, the bridge is a little microphonic but I have had worse from more expensive guitars. I bought this guitar to mod into a esquire tele. You can't get a kit guitar for this price and the kit guitars don't have a finish on them. Totally exceeded expectations, this is a c ...

I had a GTL delivered to my house for an xmas present. When we opened it we found that both the volume and the tone knobs broken off. Upon hearing of the issue, the Glarry support team was very attentive and immediately sent me a replacement with all parts in tact and perfect working order. I was able to plug this one in and was amazed at the intonation and action right out of the box. I am very happy with the guitar and highly recommend it!

Like all other five-star reviews, I am qualifying this as "five stars, for the money". However, there's still a story to tell here. I purchased this guitar with the intention of modding it to the max. Upon receiving it, the ONLY quality defect I could see was that one screw on the switch plate cover was screwed in at an obvious angle. The packing didn't seem overly protective, but there was no damage at all to the instrument. I tore the guitar down as soon as I got it. I removed the bolt- ...

Upon receiving it, the ONLY quality defect I could see was that one screw on the switch plate cover was screwed in at an obvious angle. The packing didn't seem overly protective, but there was no damage at all to the instrument. I tore the guitar down as soon as I got it. I removed the bolt-on neck. The fit of the neck into the pocket on the body was EXCELLENT. There were no shims in the pocket and the neck was STRAIGHT. Very happy about that. The frets were a little discolored but they'll buff out and shine, I'm sure. Of course, the tuners, pickups, bridge and electronics can only be so good when the whole guitar only costs $89.00. I'm upgrading all of these. One complaint I have about the build was the plastic nut was glued unbelievably tight into the nut slot. I was very concerned I would seriously damage the neck getting it out. In the end, I had to grind it out with a Dremel. I would REALLY love it if Glarry added an option to just purchase the body and neck (either finished or unfinished) for about $40. I would probably buy a dozen of them over time. If you're looking for this to play "great" out of the box, you may be in for a disappointment. The tuners are quite bad, and that's being generous and the strings should be replaced immediately. But if you're a modder or know someone who is, Glarry guitars are a SOLID foundation on which you can make a very playable, quality guitar that will last a lifetime.

I purchased this guitar and one other from Glarry expecting to use them as a kit build/redo because the price was cheaper than most kits out there. To my pleasant surprise the order came in just a few days. Packing was decent and there was no damage due to shipping. But what was amazing is that Everything functioned well right out of the box! Action was pretty low, frets were decent itonation was spot on!!!! I cant believe that. All electronics worked as they should , finish on the guitars ...

All in all this was not just a kit to be redone but played very well! Is it perfect... no for the price this is an amazing deal. Thank you Glarry!

Sounds good, looks good, arrived promptly. Fantastic value for money!
