After watching a review on You Tube from Doug of The Sound Test Room, I purchased both the GST guitar and the GP Bass. I'm a drummer who after 30 years of gigging, took up the 3 stringed cigar box guitar as a result of not being able to gig due to COVID lockdowns. I loved it and after seeing these decided to buy them and try learning bass and 6 stringed guitar. I've got to say Ive never played a Fender or Gibson but for the money I can't believe how good these are. A functional bass and guitar ...

SUPER FUN Strat style guitar! After cranking the truss rod to straighten the neck and lower the action, setting the saddles and intonation, this is a MIND BOGGLING guitar for the price! I have watched several videos on these guitars and heard good and bad things about them. They are made with a lot of machining and fewer human hands than an expensive instrument. You should expect minor imperfections. Mine had the tiniest bit of wood filings coming from one side of the nut slot. Just a little ...

SUPER FUN Strat style guitar! After cranking the truss rod to straighten the neck and lower the action, setting the saddles and intonation, this is a MIND BOGGLING guitar for the price! I have watched several videos on these guitars and heard good and bad things about them. They are made with a lot of machining and fewer human hands than an expensive instrument. You should expect minor imperfections. Mine had the tiniest bit of wood filings coming from one side of the nut slot. Just a little pinch and pull and it was never there. There are two very small imperfections in the paint job that are barely noticeable. It plays great and looks really good! Any student would be jumping for joy to have one of these! I have been playing for almost thirty years now and have had so many guitars I forget how many!?! These are what to get if you want one you can do what you want with or are just starting out. I might add Dragonfire pickups later although the pickups actually sound great. I was worried about the tuning machines but they are good enough and hold tune as well as can be expected! It arrived VERY QUICKLY! It's not super light or too cheap feeling, just rapidly made with slightly less attention to menial details that make other guitars collectors items or very expensive. I have a Bass guitar and a case on the way and will likely buy more in the future. These are some of the lowest cost instruments with the highest quality I've seen at the price! Check out one of these and don't be afraid to do what you want with it!

I read reviews that Glarry Guitars was a good buy for under 100 dollars so i decided to check it out myself. I ordered a Glarry electric guitar and the shipping was fast and the guitar was package well. The look and feel of the guitar right out of the box was very good. I am 76 year old and been playing music since i was 11 years old, the Glarry guitar played and sound just as good as my Gibson and Fender. I was shock but pleased.

Glarry customer service is the best that i ever seen, the first guitar that i ordered was delivered by Fed x and the box was all crushed up and i refused the shipment. I emailed the Glarry company about the crushed guitar box and they ship another guitar to me the same day without waiting for Fed X to ship the bad one back. I am going to order a Glarry bass next and if it's as good as the guitar i will write another review.

It's a beginner level guitar. It needed a truss rod tweak. New strings and a saddle height adjustment. It is now completely playable. It has one of the nicest necks I have ever seen on a guitar in my 25 years around guitars. There are no sharp fret ends and the neck is rolled very nicely. Great fret size and a joy to play. All electronics are solid and it stays in tune amazingly well. Negatives..finish quality is not the greatest but no glaring flaws. And the tuners are cheap but, as mentioned, ...

And the tuners are cheap but, as mentioned, they hold tune, just kind of sloppy or tight depending on which string your tuning. Overall this is the nicest guitar I have ever bought for a mere $63.98 delivered. Better than many I have paid considerably more for. Plus you get a bag. Something you don't even get with most $500 guitars!

I was looking for an inexpensive guitar with which to practice fixing guitars. This model is beautiful and very light, which my body enjoys. It had a few things that needed addressed, like a slight tweak in the neck and lowering the action and a bit of fret sprout, but it was well worth the money. It is a great entry level guitar. I wish they had been around when I started playing 55 years ago. But they are now and that will benefit all of those wanting to get into playing guitar but don't have ...

This is a beginner guitar. That being said, for the price, it's worgh it! I recommend adjusting the truss rod just a bit and lowering the action. This guitar is VERY light which I like. You can barely notice it around your neck when playing, unlike Les Pauls which feel like you're playing a water buffalo in weight. Im replacing the tuners with locking ones. Highly recommend this guitar though!!!

Bought for one of my brothers half my age, he loves it. I set it up for him and there were a couple minor things I could leave a negative comment on. Restringing was a little clunky, just cause the saddles were kinda all over the place trying to get through. Also when strummed there was a reverberating echo from the springs in the back, so I put in some of the flimsy packing foam. Otherwise, I thought it was a pretty good value and my four brothers all have a guitar too now.

Neck joint not level/ routed incorrectly. Paint in neck joint/pocket. Neck does not fit as snuggly into pocket as it should. spring claw for bridge was not mounted correctly far right of cavity not centered as it should be. bridge block is thinnest cheapest lightest metal I've ever seen. nut slotting was correct height but left burs and tooling marks. 19th fret dot smeared hole was cut wrong and just filled? frets have tooling marks or scratches. Neck is not smooth at headstock or heel/neck join ...

Neck joint not level/ routed incorrectly. Paint in neck joint/pocket. Neck does not fit as snuggly into pocket as it should. spring claw for bridge was not mounted correctly far right of cavity not centered as it should be. bridge block is thinnest cheapest lightest metal I've ever seen. nut slotting was correct height but left burs and tooling marks. 19th fret dot smeared hole was cut wrong and just filled? frets have tooling marks or scratches. Neck is not smooth at headstock or heel/neck joint. appears as if fretboard was never sealed or treated before installing frets. can see tooling marks where the pickguard was cut or adjusted to fit body/neck joint. thankfully i purchased for the intent of mods and am experience with repairs, this is not a guitar to play out of the box. oh yea and it took 11 days to arrive to NY from a company listed as being located in NJ less than 3hrs away. Service department was dismissive of helping with tracking issue (tracking didn't update for over a week). If they wanted to do the right thing they will refund my purchase and I'll do a positive review of what these guitars can be turned into otherwise DO NOT BUY!

Almost 2 weeks and I still haven't received the product. When i emailed them it took 2 days to tell me there is a delay. You are probably better off finding a pawn shop. Would not reccomend.

Picked this guitar up for Nephew who is interested in learning to play guitar. For the price you can't beat it. after slight truss adjustment played very well. no sharp frets or fretbuzz. When Glarry 170 is back in stock I will be buying one for review on my youtube channel. Also shipping was REALLY fast received in 2 days:)

DUDE THIS GUITAR IS AMAZING!!!!!! I bought the sky blue one for my 12-year-old little sister who is interested in guitar. I didn't want to go and spend hundreds of dollars on a guitar she might never even play. When I got this guitar I was truly amazed, the neck was slim and had a nice satin finish that was really smooth. And to my surprise, there was no fret sprout or anything. Now I had to make a few adjustments to the tremolo system so that it will still hold a tune, and I put new strings on ...

Now I had to make a few adjustments to the tremolo system so that it will still hold a tune, and I put new strings on (Daddario 9's). And it plays amazing. the pickups are actually powerful and there is a strong 60 cycle hum (but hey, there single coils). Overall it's a great guitar for someone who isn't looking to break the bank and still have a good quality instrument that they can hopefully spark a passion with.

Set up perfectly right out of the box I've been owning strats for 54 years and this one is comparable to some of the best I've owned. Fun to play and I dont worry about the first ding. Also, good customer support. Always responsible. This is my 4th Glarry guitar. today. Tomorrow , probably 6

Fantastic guitar for the price! Needs setting up though. To start with a positive, the body was immaculate and the neck was perfectly straight. The guitar worked right away and did not have any electrical issues. As to expect from the price, I needed to dress the frets and file the nut slots. At first, I could not fit the wammy bar. Turns out there was debris in the slot so I had to retap it myself. After that, the bar fit nicely. I had to remove one of the springs for it to work though, as they ...

Turns out there was debris in the slot so I had to retap it myself. After that, the bar fit nicely. I had to remove one of the springs for it to work though, as they are extremely stiff. The tuners aren't the best. One of mine was too stiff and another was very grindy. I replaced them with new ones and now it feels great. So other than a few issues I really like this guitar and highly recommend it for those on a tighter budget!

Pleasantly surprised with quality. Has good sound and seems well worth the few dollars to purchase. Plays pretty good strait out of the box.

I received my electric guitar (yellow) fast. Upon opening package I found all items to be accounted for and no damage was noted. I immediately plugged in the guitar and tuned the strings. I was amazed by the sound. I measured the guitar against my Fender Tele and found out the size was the same as the tele. Easy to tune and play. I have now replaced the strings that came with the guitar with size 10-46. The larger size sounds much better. The price was as great. I play it every chance I get. Tha ...

I like the exceptionally light weight (that's why I bought this guitar), and tones from middle and neck pickup are nice. Problems include: sharp ends of the frets need to be filed down, fret heights are uneven so the frets need dressing (i.e., sanding) to avoid buzzing with strings at a reasonable height, bridge pickup is exceptionally harsh (I replaced it), neck is far too thick unless you have enormous hands (I wear large size men's gloves), and nut grooves bind strings and prevent proper tuni ...

In comparison, of these problems, the $100 strat from Monoprice has only an excessively thick neck. In sum, this guitar is not completely finished and has a very thick neck. If you will finish it yourself and replace the bridge pickup--and you have very large hands or can plane and sand the neck thinner--this guitar is a reasonable purchase and is worth 3 stars. Otherwise, this is no substitute for a finished guitar and is worth 1 star. I spent 15 minutes sanding the frets, 1.5 hrs planing and refinishing the neck, a half hour replacing the bridge pickup (I already had a good replacement), and 10 minutes adjusting the nut grooves. All that remains is fixing the sharp fret ends.

Best budget guitar on the market. Surprising quality for the price. A very playable guitar with a very nice finish on the body. The maple neck is unfinished and a little rough to the touch. Hand sanding with 400 grit followed by rubbing in a little fret oil makes it smooth as silk. Excellent beginner guitar. A good choice for players who want to make a custom guitar without breaking the bank. Upgrading the pickups and tuning machines will take it up a few notches. I contacted customer se ...

Sufficiently packaged and protected. Not a scratch on the guitar! Slight neck adjustment needed and leveled the frets before applying Tru-Oil to the neck and headstock.

First, I want to speak to the customer service... WOW! I'd ordered this in blue, as a gift and was told shortly after ordering that the recipient would prefer yellow. They managed to get it swapped out prior to shipping! It arrived damaged (UPS fault!), and Glarry STILL got it replaced before Christmas!! No BS, no hassle, just fixed the problem. NOW, the guitar: So many people will say 'for the price'.. and that's certainly true, but not representative of the value. I bought a ...

NOW, the guitar: So many people will say 'for the price'.. and that's certainly true, but not representative of the value. I bought a $80 guitar, roughly... I've got $300 guitars that are not any better, and some that were, as a matter of fact, not as well finished as this one out of the box. If you're new and want a solid starter, get it! If you want something you can hack around on with mods, GET TWO!! If you want a guitar that's OK with being tossed in the car to go jam with friends, HELL YEAH! Spend a little bit of time learning how to set up your guitar, and practice on this. I got it easily playable (intonated and string height adjusted) in about 5-10 minutes. (and then promptly wrapped it for tomorrow's Christmas Eve gifting). I'll getting myself one of the tele models soon, because at these prices... well, I can always find room for another guitar.

Other than the fact that it took so long to get to me, I am very impressed with Glarry products. The guitar I bought was the Glarry GST Electric Guitar Green. The finish is beautiful.

The pickups are solid, you can't expect Seymour Duncan or Fender pickups at this price point. In summary it is a very playable guitar with decent sound. I just don't know how Glarry can make a profit selling decent and playable guitars so cheap!

Bang for buck is outstanding! It's not gonna compare to a $2000+ bespoke guitar, but I'm genuinely impressed with this. Highly recommended for anyone that's just getting started or just wants something they can entertain themselves with. The fret ends did need a very light touch up with a sanding pad and some steel wool to remove some sharp edges and take care of some light dirt and rust (it did have to cross the Pacific, after all), but nothing major.

The fret ends did need a very light touch up with a sanding pad and some steel wool to remove some sharp edges and take care of some light dirt and rust (it did have to cross the Pacific, after all), but nothing major. Probably only took me 10 minutes. The nut block was remarkably good for something so inexpensive, requiring just a very light touch with sandpaper and some graphite in the slots to get it into fantastic shape. Holds tune well right out of the box, but the intonation was a bit off--that's normal for any new guitar though. This thing is also fantastic if you want to learn how to do upgrades or repairs without dropping a lot of cash out of the gate.

An amazing deal for the price.The green finish is much nicer looking than I had hoped...the photo doesn't do it justice. This guitar is very resonant , it feels good to play. The frets are smooth and finished well. A tiny bit of roughness on the back of the neck, but it's not bad and fine sanding will smooth it out. Not the worlds best pick-ups, but the guitar itself is less expensive than one professional grade pick-up. I plan to buy another and upgrade the pickups. A pleasant surprise.
