Didn't play very well. Microphonic pickups not replaceable with standard telecaster parts.

I purchased a Glarry guitar to see what you get for under $100. I was impressed that it looked like a regular telecaster and was incredibly light. However, there were many issues that would require most folks to spend an additional $200 or so correct. The intonation was way off. The string height was way too high. Two of the three screws that hold the bridge on were stripped in the wood. Six of the frets required leveling and all frets required polishing and end-filing. The neck was rough ...

Two of the three screws that hold the bridge on were stripped in the wood. Six of the frets required leveling and all frets required polishing and end-filing. The neck was rough and needed sanding/steel wool. The nut was crudely done and required fine-tuning. After a couple hours with my guitar tech tools I had a playable instrument which I will feel good about donating to a local home for kids.

Seems to be an ok guitar for the money but took patience and several adjustments to get the harmonics set. So it would finally tune correctly.

Neck is to fat, machines are loose and do not stay in tune. Pick ups are microphonic and tinny. That being said, for a hundred bucks , it plays. I love the body and have ordered an appropriate neck, replaced the electronics and machines. For a hundred dollars, the body was worth it.

I'm excited because it is a nice looking guitar, sounds great with new strings. The only issue was a ding in the headstock. I don't know if it happened in shipping or what but I do like the product other than that.

I own an SG and a Stratocaster. This Telecaster model by Glarry is a nice addition to my collection. It plays well, sounds and looks good. Definitely worth the money.

I bought the green tele its beautiful feels great but got damaged in shipping but glarry gave me all money back and I kept the guitar. They just need better packaging

Guitar was all intact, not damaged. This was LUCKY because not enough care was taken to protect the instrument. It was received in a simple cardboard box, with damage holes in both the front and back of the box. Inside was the guitar wrapped in nothing but thin plastic (like paper). It should have been given more packing inside the carton, to protect it. Also, it took 7 days to arrive - a bit long. Regarding the guitar itself, it is blue, but it is so dark, it actually appears to be black. On ...

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

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.

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.

First, it is important to realize the cost of this guitar and reasonable expectations based on that. It comes with a thin gig bag, strap, chord, a pick, and truss rod wrench so a decent package. I would recommend to Glarry leaving out something in the package and putting a good set of strings on it. I gave it 3 stars for a combination of reasons. First, the strings are the worst I've felt and they helped make turning the guitar a very frustrating exercise when combined with the tuners that s ...

First, it is important to realize the cost of this guitar and reasonable expectations based on that. It comes with a thin gig bag, strap, chord, a pick, and truss rod wrench so a decent package. I would recommend to Glarry leaving out something in the package and putting a good set of strings on it. I gave it 3 stars for a combination of reasons. First, the strings are the worst I've felt and they helped make turning the guitar a very frustrating exercise when combined with the tuners that slipped and ground while attempting to get them set. Second, the neck was slightly bowed (weather will do that to any guitar) so I went to do a truss rod adjustment and the nut would not move. This usually means your neck is shot as the truss rod has no adjustment left BUT on closer inspection I saw it was simply a very poorly installed rod with wood shaving blocking adjustments. I was able to get it cleaned out enough to straighten the neck but it is really not going to last long due to the poor routing for the rod, I fear. Third, the tray is severely pitted and that was one piece I wanted to reuse, it simply looks awful. Fourth, the neck is tight but it is gouged and rough so it will take quite a bit of sanding to get it smooth under the hand while playing. The body is okay, looks like a sticker under the top but the finish is decent. The weight is very light but I still do not know what type of wood they used to make the body. After finally getting it tuned to a point I plugged it in and it sounds okay on low volumes. Don't crank up on the bridge pickup, the distortion gets really bad. However, for a young person learning it will do fine. I'm going to be replacing everything on this guitar except the neck and body, which is why I bought it. I'm not confident in the truss rod installation and the neck needs a lot of work but for a project guitar I don't have to finish the body on it should do the task just fine.

The guitar plays well and sounds great, at a great price. It also looks pretty good. The only problem was damage to the back of the guitar that seems to have happened during shipping. The packaging could really be improved, because this seems to be quite a common problem.

Nice instrument. Improve your packaging. Received with gouge in the body.

Decent for the price but it will take a lot of setup to get it comfortable to play. I won't buy another one of these but I am interested in their jazz bass. Not too happy with the High E string being very close to the edge fretboard.

I think it's a great deal for the price. I used the guitar on a gig the other night. I was well satisfied. Great service and fast shipping. Thank you.

Liked the body in this Tele, however the neck pocket is horrible very rough and unlevel. I rerouted it square to the body and reshaped the neck, installed Wilkinson Tele pick up set and a 920 wiring kit with four way switch mod.guitar is beautiful and plays as good as any American fender tele.

I got my order and the tuners were bad and sent an e-mail and was sent back a message they would send new ones im still waiting but other than that i am pleased with my guitar wish i could play it but with bad tuners i guess ill have to wait.

The guitar came quickly but with no proction in the guitar box, and actually had a tear in the box. No outside box for extra protection, against the elements or thieves since the guitar box was very clearly marked GLARRY GUITAR. Neck was way bent which luckily the truss rod took care of. Everything else is more or less "normal" issues. Intonation needed to be set. The strings were out of tune when arrived, but nothing new. The frets are surprisingly smooth and it is a beautiful guitar after a se ...
