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- ...

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-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 ...

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 were more than acceptable. 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!

Don't be afraid of the price! Ive been playing guitar for 54 years and I've owned some very expensive ones and some "low end" ones. This is an excellent guitar. I just ordered my second Glarry guitar (first was a Strat style). Although the guitar needs a good setup and quality strings, it is absolutely playable out of the box. Fit and finish was excellent. Pickups are more than adequate. However, mod the guitar with better pickups, upgraded electronics, and a bone nut and you have a sensational ...

However, mod the guitar with better pickups, upgraded electronics, and a bone nut and you have a sensational guitar comparable with a $700 Fender Player series for about $275! I will order more of these instruments.

I would compare this Tele to guitars costing 6 times as much. It needed a complete setup but anyone can do that filling info on google. I also bought the jazz bass and it is comparable to my $800.00 Fender. Setup on it was perfect out of the box. I have 3 Strats but planning to buy one of these for the rougher gigs.

Recieved T style guitar very quickly.. After oiling the neck and quick set up, action was lower than my real Fenders... White scratchplate added for a Rossi/Quo look... Very good and recommended

Glarry GTL Sunset guitar looks nice and plays nice. Great price. Fast shipping.

I'm not a guitarist but this didn't look and feel like a new guitar. I bought it for someone and he checked it to make sure it was good. This is what he said. When the guitar was received the box was in shambles. It looked like the box had been crushed, fixed then re-taped and shipped out the door to me. The guitar itself was scratched and scuffed along the black and silver metal parts, as if someone already owned it, jammed with it then tossed it aside. Signs of a previous owner show deep embed ...

The guitar itself was scratched and scuffed along the black and silver metal parts, as if someone already owned it, jammed with it then tossed it aside. Signs of a previous owner show deep embedded scratches along the black and silver parts. None of the items that went with the guitar were in bags like it would be with a brand new guitar. It just looked like a reject someone sent back to you and then my order came in and the reject was sent to me. Because I'm a single mother, barely making it I can't afford to purchase something different. He said he would keep it and try to get the scratches and scruffs out himself but I could tell he was super disappointed. So was I, your guitars are all he talks about and now he has it but its used. I've since wrapped it for Christmas so I can't post pictures to show you but I know he's not excited about the guitar anymore. Looking into other guitars and P-basses so I can save my duckets and try again somewhere else.

Arrived perfect. No flaws in finish and no fret buzz. Would highly recommend. New fender has fret buzz, glarry didn't have any. The action is slightly higher but still very playable even for a beginner.

OK

My Glarry Solid Body GTL (Tele Style) Guitar arrived and it's Fantastic! This is my 5th Glarry Guitar and I am very satisfied with all 5 purchases! The Fit and Finish is Very Nice! This one has a Sunset Color Scheme and the wood grain both on the Body and Maple neck is awesome! It's hard to believe this Guitar is well below $100.00!! ..Everyone likes their Guitar Set (Adjusted) to suit their playing style, I set mine up and it plays Great!

on December 13, 2020

I dig your t-style guitars. I have two.

on December 13, 2020

Great Cyber Monday price. No fret sprout at all. It's beautiful. Aside from lowering the action a little, no further set up was needed. My best Glarry yet (my 3rd of 4).

on December 12, 2020

I was amazed when my GTL arrived at how nice it was. The finish is fantastic and it came close to perfect set up ready to play. No matter if your a new player or veteran, for the money you should have one of these guitars!

on December 12, 2020

Really lovely guitar, a coupe chips here and there in the fretboard but that's to be expected from a cheaply telecaster

on December 12, 2020

GLARRY HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! What an amazing guitar! And under $100. A quick setup to my specs and my favorite strings and I was off and playing. This is the fourth Glarry guitar I've purchased and I love this company.

Damaged guitar

on December 09, 2020

Great in every aspect except the treble pickup, but combine it with the neck pickup and it's wonderful. Great price for something this good!

I just received a guitar the other day and it did have a lot of issues with it it has a lot of scratches on it it's damaged the strings were broken I am very dissatisfied with it could you please send me another one preferably with no damage this time it would be nice thank you sincerely Paul Uwnawich

on December 06, 2020

For the money, this is a great little guitar. Have a Squire Stratocaster and this is close to the same quality at half the price.

The reason I gave this a 4 star rating, is because their is a hairline crack in the neck joint. This could have happened during shipping or when the neck was bolted on. I thought about returning it, but since it doesn't affect the performance of it I opted not to. This guitar looks and plays beautifully. Just some intonation problems which I fixed, and I decided to upgrade the tuning machine heads. I just ordered another one a Newer GTL with both a single and double coil pick-up. Brass bridge ...

Just some intonation problems which I fixed, and I decided to upgrade the tuning machine heads. I just ordered another one a Newer GTL with both a single and double coil pick-up. Brass bridge hardware, string through the body and a rosewood fingerboard. I would just like to suggest to Glarry a little better packaging, even if it drives the price up a few dollars. Looking forward to getting my newer version of the Tele. Thanks again! Jaysen Zaffino/ [email protected].

Guitar came damaged- see photo. Box was not damaged so assume it left factory this way. Was referred to this guitar by a YouTube review. Am otherwise satisfied with guitar so far. Will alter or add to review based on subsequent customer service response. Would be 5 star if not for receiving it damaged.

on December 26, 2020

I was very lucky I think because the people who actually did the shipping didn't damage it at all. First thing I did was inspect the box it came in and it showed no signs of any trauma. The reason I stress the fact it arrived on my doorstep in the same condition it was when boxed. What a beautiful instrument. The finish is flawless. The neck shape or profile is near perfect. I performed my own setup and put on fresh strings and the guitar tuned perfectly. And it stays in tune. I really feel luck ...

In 1999 I spent seven-hundred on a US made real thing you might say and the Glarry GTL compares very well. One thing I've noticed where the Glarry GTL out performs my $700 AmStd is the top-hat knob on the 3-way selector switch stays in place on the Glarry switch. I never could keep one on the Fender. Thumbs Up Glarry! I'm waiting right now on a Glarry GIB four string bass.

Great value! This little Tele, after :10 of adjustment and some TLC on the sharp fret ends, plays great! The pickups aren't bad on this one. I love the body finish, ready deep black and it's crazy light weight, which I love! Definitely would buy again!

on November 16, 2020

I am blown away at how well this guitar played right out if the box!! Glarry guitars are an incredible value. For under $100 I have all that classic Tele twang. Great job at putting out a quality guitar.

on November 08, 2020

Very good.

on November 08, 2020

I would recommend Glarry music to any person that is thinking about playing a instrument , they have great prices and fast service.

on November 06, 2020

You can't beat the deal on one of these guitars! It arrived quickly, although it had a ding in it (but that's on ups not Glarry) the finish is still gorgeous though. After adjusting the action, the notation and truss rod it plays and sounds great. It feels very solid in the hands I would and probably will purchase another one

on November 02, 2020

Awesome
