Another great Glarry guitar. Looks and plays great. Well done Glarry!!!

on December 16, 2020

Ordered 11/27/2020 received 12/14/2020. I'm very pleased with guitar. The Hummbucking pickup makes such a difference. I can get a warm jazz sound or country twang. Great job Glarry.

This guitar is fantastic! Out of the box the action was good-low enough for easy playing and no buzz. The humbucker is awesome huge difference between the single coil and humbucker. I was nervous about the pickups being microphonic - they are not. I oiled up the neck and stretched the factory strings - they are holding the tuning so I will keep them until they break. I love this guitar-great job glarry!!

Let me start by saying the Guitar is great for $120.00. In my case it took a total of 11 days to get it though and many reviews said it was so fast? Now it is close to Christmas and with Covid19 concerns it takes longer but this was frustrating. It took 4 days to leave Glarry location. Then FedEx kept saying out for delivery, everyday for 4 days in a row. I really thought it was lost. When it came it was slightly damaged. Like other's have said the box is a tight fit with little padding. in my c ...

Then FedEx kept saying out for delivery, everyday for 4 days in a row. I really thought it was lost. When it came it was slightly damaged. Like other's have said the box is a tight fit with little padding. in my case something it the tone control knob an knocked it loose and scuffed the top of it. Thankfully it tightened up ok but does not look the best. The guitar it self is really nice for this money. Neck seems to be straight, no rough frets. It was playable out of the box with just a tuning but I did a set up as the base strings intonation was off. The Neck pickup is strong and mellow sounding. The Bridge pickup is a little weaker and real tiny sounding. I lowered it down to try to offset a little and now together it sounds pretty good. For a lot of songs I like the neck pickup alone. Fit and finish were pretty good though not perfect. The f hole edges were rough and not painted or finished. I sanded a little and mixed some paint and touched up. The neck finish was a little rough but some 400 grit sandpaper took care of that quickly along with some furniture polish. Overall I would recommend for this kind of money to get a decent guitar with accessories is amazing. But do not expect it to be perfect. And Glarry, you need to up your packaging!

Firstly it's very handsome. The pearly pickguard it's a great choice. It's a translucent red finish that looks great. But the best part is the neck… The frets are very well done I don't need any work on the edges… They don't stick out. Pick ups sound pretty good. The tuners are terrible but do not let that deter you because you can get a replacement set of Wilkinsons for 25 bucks and that is quite OK for a guitar that's $120. Changing a set of tuners takes perhaps 15 minutes and you're gonna ...

Changing a set of tuners takes perhaps 15 minutes and you're gonna put a new set of strings all anyway. Quite light. I'd like to see this offered in more colors and finishes such as walnut and blues.

I like this guitar except the radio station it picks up, but it goes away when playing. All 3 of the Telecaster copies I've bought have great necks and fingerboard and are easy to play. This particular guitar has a neck pickup I absolutely love. The overall fit and finish on these is amazing. Very good looking and feeling guitars. For the cost I'm blown away. Although they may not be gig worthy they are great for anything else.

on December 12, 2020

Instrument arrived with issues but Glarry customer service has been excellent. The price is fantastic. Very good, solid guitar for a beginner (once strings are replaced and guitar set-up). Pickups sound just like they should (shielding will quiet down that bridge pickup). Also a great base guitar for learning modifications. Very pleased overall.

on November 29, 2020

I was very pleased when I opened the box...the blue finish was very well done, nicer than the pictures on the website led me to expect! This guitar plays well for such an inexpensive instrument. As some reviews have said the finish on the back of the neck is just a little rough, but a light sanding clears that up...I played for 3 -4 hours when I first got it , had a lot of fun. A guitar doesn't need to break the bank to be fun to play. I plan to buy a red one as well. I might even Glarry-stein i ...

I might even Glarry-stein it with custom pick-ups , although the ones it came with do the job...I love the HS combination...Well worth more than the price it cost. Worth investing in a hard case for it too. This is my third Glarry along with an acoustic which is also surprisingly nice for only $60 !!...and a Burning Fire solid body which looks cool and...once again well worth more than it cost. Nice job, Glarry.

Complete junk. Not a chance of this guitar playing properly. The neck pocket floor is at the wrong angle or I should say angles because it has multiple angles cut into it. It looks like every single pass of the machine was at a different angle then the others. This makes the neck impossible to shim. If they would have made all the cuts same as the deepest cut the neck angle would be 15 degrees LOL ! Sorry to break it to ya fellas but if you want to play guitar your gonna have to cough up some se ...

If they would have made all the cuts same as the deepest cut the neck angle would be 15 degrees LOL ! Sorry to break it to ya fellas but if you want to play guitar your gonna have to cough up some serious dough and buy a Fender or Gibson. any thing less and you won't be playing guitar. If you can't afford a new Fender you have absolutely no choice but to buy used.

The guitar arrived with a neck pocket too wide for the neck,there were three cracks in the body (through the finish, into the wood), and a crack in the wood on the neck pocket. However, the guitar was only $120!!! I got a thinline copy for $120!! The action was incredible, the neck was perfectly adjusted, and it was perfectly intonated. The cracks in the body were on the back, so I sanded through the finish and epoxies the cracks. Epoxied the crack in the neck pocket, and shimmed the gap between ...

The guitar sounds great, plays like a dream, so I can handle the cosmetic flaws from fixing it. It's a beautiful guitar (unless you look at the back). For $120, I'm extremely pleased with this guitar!!!

Quick shipping, 3 days thanks! I bought this guitar for the price and the thinline body. Watching reviews from other guitarist had me sold with the quality and tone. Great right out of the box, but put new flatwound strings for a deeper richer tone. Tweaked the action, truss rod and intonation. The 6 saddle bridge is a plus. All in all I would definitely by another Glarry!

on November 23, 2020

It's a very nice guitar, especially for the price. While it does have a couple of minor issues (one of the bridge pickup screws is sticking out about 1/4 inch for some reason, and the ferrules on the back are unevenly spaced), they don't affect playability. The guitar is a looker, I have the "yellow" one (actually butterscotch or caramel would be a better description) & the wood grain is very attractive. Fit & finish, while not flawless, are very good. Neck is a little chunky, but I like that so ...

The guitar is a looker, I have the "yellow" one (actually butterscotch or caramel would be a better description) & the wood grain is very attractive. Fit & finish, while not flawless, are very good. Neck is a little chunky, but I like that solidity. The tuners are good enough & hold tune (might replace them at some future date). I don't like the string trees, but they are the standard bent metal kind you even get on expensive guitars. The nut is plastic, but decently cut. Intonation is good out of the box. Brass saddles are nice. The bridge is string-through, but also looks like it should work as a top loader as there are 6 holes in the end of the bridge. Pickups are good, especially the warm neck humbucker. The bridge single coil is a bit weaker, so I might replace that one, but again no rush. I did lower the action & raise the pickups, as I probably would on most guitars. It plays well, & has a kind of "mojo" that not all guitars have. This is curently my favorite guitar (but it's my newest, so that may change). I'd say for a beginner it's good enough...if I had started on this one I think I would be a lot better now. It's not perfect, but it is very good & I like it a lot. Also gives you a little bit of that "Keef" vibe.

I love this guitar. Plays great stays in tune. Sounds killer another win for glarry. Love their basses too. Looking forward to buying many more. And I'm definitely interested in testing and reviewing any new products for my YouTube channel. I mostly review bass guitars but will do any guitar review. Stay posted for my gtl semi review. 5 stars of course. Thanks glarry

on November 16, 2020

Been playing for over 50 years...yikes. Thought I would give this one a try and was really surprised. Beautiful yellow finish is flawless, and the sound is great. There is kind of a disconnect between the neck and the body though IMHO. But after tweaking around with the truss rod, bridge, etc. I got it playable! GREAT guitar for the money and delivery was quick. I think I might replace the nut to get the action down lower, and the stock strings had to go, but now it stays in tune and is fun to p ...

Excellent value IF: you are able to file fret ends, and adjust intonation, and adjust the action yourself. Otherwise you'll need to pay for a repairman to do those for you. Looks great, sounds good, neck feels slightly clunky, but it is A LOT of guitar for the cost.

on November 12, 2020

Such a beautiful and obviously well made guitar. I can't believe that I bought it for this price.

on November 10, 2020

Got it today and it's far better than I imagined super quality and set up well from the factory and sounds as good as my dads 400 dollar guitar

Additionally they should have contacted me instead of me contacting them and asking why it was changed. I really would have prefered the Red Telecaster. A freind of mine that I play music with had ordered the Blue and I did not want the Blue. I then told the service person through email that I wanted the Burlywood. Overall the guitar was pretty good. It had one 1.5 inch surface scratch of only the gloss on the rear and a slight ding on the F hole. I did have to make truss rod adjustment and sadle adjustment. The strings needed replaced. I would recommend this guitar to novice guitar players and those who want a decent guitar for very little money.

Ordered the GTL Semi-hollow F Hole and received it in 6 days later. Very impressive. I was worried about shipping time because of previous reviews, but mine go to me super fast. The front of the guitar looks beautiful (Blue) however there were 2 chips around the bottom/back edge of the guitar. Nothing I am going to make a big deal about. I am a beginner and will not be gigging with it. Just a hobby in my basement. I read that chips happen a lot to the guitars because of their packaging and would ...

I read that chips happen a lot to the guitars because of their packaging and would agree that the packaging is less than acceptable. If it was not for the chips, I would have given it 5 stars... It's a Christmas gift so I have not played it yet, but I did turn it in for a complete setup. Hope nothing is bent or warped.

on November 08, 2020

The guitar is great for the price but I wish they would have shipped it safer. I order a case at the same time as the guitar but they sent them separately. It would have been much better had the guitar been shipped in the case.

The GTL is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Unfortunately it was slightly damaged in transit, but Glarry Music immediately sent a replacement and the the original guitar is being donated to an underprivileged person in Phoenix. The guitar itself is incredible. As a guitar player for over 64 years who owns a 1962 Gibson Johnny Smith Award Model, a 1972 Fender Stratocaster, 2 Yamaha guitars and several others I can honestly say this guitar is amazing!

I have bought other Chinese guitars including a Les Paul clone and this guitar even beats them all. I hope Glarry Music keeps making these excellent guitars for many years to come. No one beats Glarry for price or quality.

Incredible intermediate

Very nice finish. One or two inconsequential flaws. Tuners good. Minimal burrs on frets. Pickups fine. Humbucker bright and warm, light in weight. Lots of little swag,/cables, picks, a useable dustcover case, s useable Strap, cable, and electronic cable. Action high.

I bought this guitar with the hopes of making it something of a project guitar, but intended to use it for a show at a bar a few weeks ago. The first thing I tried to do was put some fresh strings on it and every time I tried to put a string through, it came up on the bridge and wouldn't go through the hole. Upon removing the bridge, I saw the body had been misaligned and the strings couldn't be put on without removing the bridge each time. They attempted to fix this by routing at an angle, but ...

Upon removing the bridge, I saw the body had been misaligned and the strings couldn't be put on without removing the bridge each time. They attempted to fix this by routing at an angle, but the strings don't bend with the body. Once I got some strings on after removing everything and screwing it back on, there was a perpetual buzz in the high strings from the strings being pushed against the bridge. It's playable with a capo, and frankly sounds better than I could have hoped, but the hoops I have to jump through to set it up make it just an all around bad guitar. I gave it two stars because without the issues with the body and the bridge, I'd probably love playing this. It has a great sound and for the money, you can't get much better when it works.

Got this in addition to a fretless bass. This is amazing quality, especially for the price (and free shipping)! My only complaint (and this is really nit-picking and should probably be applied to a very expensive purchase but here goes anyway) would be the finish paint work wasn't in a small area - mint. Around the F-hole I would count it as a 'second' production run quality but only there as the rest of the body s superb and it is not not enough to toss it back. Because of the color it's hard t ...

My only complaint (and this is really nit-picking and should probably be applied to a very expensive purchase but here goes anyway) would be the finish paint work wasn't in a small area - mint. Around the F-hole I would count it as a 'second' production run quality but only there as the rest of the body s superb and it is not not enough to toss it back. Because of the color it's hard to see even in sunlight so one would have to be really looking. The neck is wonderful. Electronics are acceptable. Tuners as well. To me, you can always change the PUs but a great tube amp can make up most deficiencies even in mediocre electronics, which I would say is not the case with this guitar. Probably a suitable and needed upgrade, especially for a daily (and) gig player would be some precise crafted tuners. As I said in the fretless review, I suspect that these guitars will become highly sought after. Can't figure out how they can afford to do this but glad they did! Amazing! Looking at a lefty Tele for a friend! And NO I'm not paid nor have anything to do with this company! This is just my opinion/assessment based upon the two (2) items I have purchased.

I bought the dark red Telecaster style guitar so I could take the top string off and learn some old Rolling Stones in the G tuning and it's hard to believe you can get a nice guitar like that for $125 delivered and the shipping was fast also love the way it sounds

on November 03, 2020

Love the Glarry Thinline I just got , beautiful finish and woodgrain match . The setup was very good just lowered the bridge saddles a turn ( six brass saddles ) no sharp fret ends smoothed the back of the neck with some 1500 grit , neck humbucker sounds great and brightens up nicely in the center position . Plays as good as any of my other guitars - Squires , Epiphones , Firefly 338 , Gibson LP

on November 03, 2020

Glarry is winning me over. I've used Glarry cases for years, but these guitars blow my mind. What a pleasure to set up and play. this guitar is superior to most. I'll be back soon...

on November 01, 2020

Fast shipping. Beautiful. Good finish. Well constructed from inexpensive parts. Frets needed polishing. Tuning machines should be improved. Pickups sound good for the money. Good resonance. Well worth the money if you know how to do your own setup. Suggest longer wires between the pots, so the tele plate reversal mod is easy.
