I love this little guitar. I bought it as a modding platform because I thought the body work looked nice. When it arrived, I was quite surprised just how good it looks. The woodwork is solid, the stain is even, and it came with a mirror shine right out of the box. I had planned to replace the neck with a more standard style, figuring how good could a neck on a sub one hundred dollar guitar be, right? , when I saw the quality of the work done, I was truly impressed.

The woodwork is solid, the stain is even, and it came with a mirror shine right out of the box. I had planned to replace the neck with a more standard style, figuring how good could a neck on a sub one hundred dollar guitar be, right? , when I saw the quality of the work done, I was truly impressed. Level frets with the ends filed the right way. It really is solid work. I did some minor set up, the intonation was close, as was the action. I turned the truss rod maybe 3/4 of a turn, and that was it, ready to go. It plays beautifully. I love the tone of this guitar, even with the stock strings. The only downside is the pickups are kind of weak and thin sounding. That said, even stock there is a fair amount of tonal control and some interesting sounds to be had here. Out of the box, with a little set-up, this is a perfect beginner guitar. I wish these had been around when I started playing. I would also highly recommend this to anyone looking to mod a guitar (cause seriously I am going to drop about 200 into it and it's gonna hold its own with the big boys) I have already made a second purchase which I am eagerly awaiting.

Nice & playable right out of the box

on March 07, 2021

Watched a few YouTube videos on this brand and finally gave it a try. Very satisfied with the guitar I purchased.

on February 26, 2021

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.

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.

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.

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 guitar right away. I was holding my breath when the replacement arrived and I found that it was in great condition. I have to say that I couldn't be happier. It doesn't sound like a $1000 guitar but at less than a tenth of that price, no one should expect it to. But it sounds far better than any sub-$100 has a right to sound. I'm extremely happy with it. It was very playable right out of the box, but I've made a couple of adjustments (truss rod, and saddles), and now it plays as nicely as any of my more expensive guitars. In fact, since it arrived, my three other guitars (all in the $600 range), haven't seen much use. Why wear out expensive guitars as you practice with the Glarry sounds so nice, plays so well, and looks just as good? My hat is off to Glarry. I have no problem recommending them to friends and family. In fact, I've done just that, and one family member bought two of them and seems to be very happy with the purchase.

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!

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 09, 2021

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 ...

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.

on December 20, 2020

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.

Damaged guitar

on December 02, 2020

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 ...

I performed my own setup and put on fresh strings and the guitar tuned perfectly. And it stays in tune. I really feel lucky that I got this guitar. 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.

Very good.

Very pleased with this little beauty put some new strings on and ur ready to go

on October 21, 2020

I love this guitar, did a few adjustments and upgrades, is perfect for what I do, home recording, Glarry has good guitars specially if you like to upgrade guitars. I've been using this guitar for metal/rhythm. Here is my YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0jTyt_h3hg

The Glarry telecaster I purchased is a beautiful guitar. Out of the box it needs a little setup I adjusted the neck set the string height and intonation. I put a set of good strings on it while I had the strings off I shielded the pickup cavities I smoothed out the neck with some steel wool and tru oiled the neck. Put it back together and have a great sounding guitar. You cannot beat it for the price I will be purchasing more.

Good guitar for the money. It arrived about a week and a half after I ordered it. The box it came in was slightly damaged, but the guitar didn't sustain any damage. After a fresh set of strings, it sounds great. Nice clean tones from the neck, center position is hum cancelling, and the bridge is just ok (microphonic). I plan on swapping the bridge pickup out. I could tell it was put together in a hurry, but what do you expect for 89.99?. There was sawdust under the pickguard and in the cavities ...

I could tell it was put together in a hurry, but what do you expect for 89.99?. There was sawdust under the pickguard and in the cavities of the guitar. A few screws were also stripped. Nothing a good cleaning and new screws won't fix though. The finish on the neck and body was pretty good, with no blemishes. All of the controls work smoothly, without crackling. Overall, it seems to be a great guitar for the money and seems to be a solid foundation for upgrades later on. Mine was already routed for a humbucker in the neck position. If I ever want to put a humbucker in later, I can simply swap the pickguard. This guitar also came with a gig bag, pick, cord, and tools. Would buy again.

The Glarry transaction was flawless! The Telecaster style Guitar arrived about 7 days after I ordered it. The guitar was in excellent condition upon arrival and could be played, out of the box, after tuning it. I conducted a complete setup on this guitar and it did require no adjustments to the truss rod or string action; however, pickup height, and intonation adjustments were required. The guitar plays like a dream now and I look forward to many hours of fun playing it. I do recommend this ...

I love this guitar...I was skeptical when I first ordered it because of the low price. I bought it because I love the Tele style body and wanted to see if it was any good. I was more than pleased! It played pretty well out of the box (although I did adjust the neck and bridge a bit) and I have been playing it every day for the last few months. I have other guitars in my collection that cost a lot more (even used) and although there are some differences, they are more subtle than the difference i ...

I would recommend this to anyone who is starting out...it is a great guitar for an extremely reasonable price. I would also recommend this guitar to anyone who just loves guitars and wants a few different types in their collection. I will be looking to buy more from Glarry myself.

Love it, Had wanted a Tele for a long time, Had one back in the 80's.. Price was right.

on July 07, 2020

Great body and finish. Guitar was decent right out of the box. Now it does need some TLC and setting up before you can consider true professional performance out of the item but for the price I am impressed by the quality and sound. I personally will be getting new hardware and pickups but I would have done that with any guitar less than $200. Great Guitar, Thank You Glarry!

A fantastic bargain! My expectations were minimal but I am really impressed with this incredibly inexpensive instrument. The build is sturdy and solid. Electronically, it is simple and straightforward. I'm sure the pick-ups could be a bit hotter but at this price you could afford to replace them. The unfinished neck is smooth and the glossy finish on the body is shiny and consistent. It stayed in tune reliably although I might upgrade the tuners.

on June 04, 2020

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.

on May 30, 2020

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.

The knob jack plate was loose because it was cut too long on the body and was patched with a different wood. And the first string tuning machine couldn't tune because the gears were garbage and couldn't hold any tension so it kept slipping.

Great guitar very nice fit and finish

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.
