I have been a luthier for over 40 years. I build, restore, and repair acoustic and electric guitars. I can honestly say that i am truly amazed by this guitar. Even with my resources i couldn't build a guitar of this quality for this price! I bought the guitar with intensions of upgrading the tuners, pickups and bridge. However, it plays great as is so i wont be doing these upgrades. This guitar plays and sounds every bit as good as my Strat Players and MIM guitars. Excellent product!

I am sorry to have to write this review. This is my 3rd purchase from Glarry and both prior have been great fully functioning guitars. Not so with this GST. First issue was the nut was so poorly cut there is no way the guitar can play in tune, next issue the action is so high there is not enough saddle adjustment to compensate for it. But the bigger issue is that the tone controls don't function at all. As for the rest of the guitar, the finish is fine and the neck is straight and adjustabl ...

I have emailed Glarry customer service but as of this date have had no reply. I can not return this guitar because I need it as a gift and cant wate for a replacement to arrive. Luckily I am able to effect the necessary repairs and give it on time.

FANTASTIC!! Great buy. Highly recommended! The only problem is the long wait for delivery. Otherwise... PERFECT!

These are the best guitars in the world at this price point! With just a few tweaks on the neck, setting the action, and intonation the guitar plays better than *any* beginner guitar I've ever seen. In my case, I needed one red, white, and blue guitar and with a little work combined 'em into one to create "Old Glory".

My 2nd Glarry purchase. Very fast shipping, received within 48 hrs of purchase. This GST as expected, at least they shipped the actual guitar I ordered this time. QC problem with tremelo block as with other GST I received. Ball ends of strings do not seat properly in holes. Requires removal a filing holes with a round file. Set up of tremelo and intonation was atrocious, guitar not tunable until these adjustments were addressed. For my purposes these guitars are a good value as long as you are a ...

My 2nd Glarry purchase. Very fast shipping, received within 48 hrs of purchase. This GST as expected, at least they shipped the actual guitar I ordered this time. QC problem with tremelo block as with other GST I received. Ball ends of strings do not seat properly in holes. Requires removal a filing holes with a round file. Set up of tremelo and intonation was atrocious, guitar not tunable until these adjustments were addressed. For my purposes these guitars are a good value as long as you are aware what you are getting. I plan to sand and refinish neck with tru-oil, my other one came out fantastic. Frets are surprisingly good, though require some touch up and final polish. Body/paint are good, a couple minor finish flaws that can be fixed. Pickups are being replaced with Wilkinson's. Other electronics okay. Tuners are okay, being replaced with locking tuners. Plastic nut needs some sanding, filing,and graphite. String trees need replacement with roller trees. These guitars are a great base for modifications, much cheaper that most kits, neck and finished body are worth the price alone. I don't see how these are being marketed as beginner instruments, too many issues which take some skill and experience to address before these are playable. As project guitars these are great, I look forward to bass guitars being restocked. With some work/upgraded parts, these make very serviceable, excellent playing guitars which will rival most off the shelf $500 guitars out there for a total investment of $125-$200 depending what you wish to do. These are much lighter weight than most real strats, I find this a plus. Neck is very chunky, another plus for me. Probably not the best neck shape for beginners and small hands.

Sunburst Strat really suprized me. Very little set up was needed! It played well right out of the box!!!! Can't say enough good things about this for such a low price. May get them to send me a Tele to try out .GMR

by J***l on May 31, 2020

Very nice guitar. Great fit and finish and it came set up with a low action! Good job Glarry.

by J***o on May 29, 2020

Hi Glarry Guitar arrived in perfect condition. The one big problem are the tuning keys. They just do not seem to be working properly especially the G string. I guess for the price I can not complain but I just can not seem to get this guitar in tune. On You tube I found videos at least two that people had the same problem. Thank you for the prompt delivery and a very nice looking guitar. Joe

I has high hopes for this guitar. I'd heard so many great things about it. I'm sorry to say that the guitar was unplayable. The neck felt as if no shaping had been done to it at all. It was like holding a baseball bat. The fret work was equally bad. I do a great deal of repair work to guitars but this one needed much more time than I was willing to give it. I hope my experience isn't shared by others. May I just a bad one that slipped through the cracks. This is only one mans opinion and your gu ...

Couldn't ask for more ...in fact I have now ordered another of their instruments. Thank you, Glarry!!!!

by L***n on May 08, 2020

I am super satisfied with this guitar! There were no flaws whatsoever when this arrices and it looks fantastic! It sounds really good too!

Well the whammy bar did not screw in can't use it but everything else is fun looking forward to getting my Sunburst Telecaster Style thank you Harold not too much into whammy bars anyway

Glarry's purpose with this guitar is really to put a guitar in your hands for as cheap as possible, which is nice, since you're not really paying for brand name or bells and whistles. And the build quality is actually pretty decent. Con is, they're putting a guitar in your hand as cheap as possible, and after a while of playing you'll notice, some places like sound quality or intonation could be better and that 60/70 USD price shows and personally sometimes I keep accidentally hitting the p ...

Glarry's purpose with this guitar is really to put a guitar in your hands for as cheap as possible, which is nice, since you're not really paying for brand name or bells and whistles. And the build quality is actually pretty decent. Con is, they're putting a guitar in your hand as cheap as possible, and after a while of playing you'll notice, some places like sound quality or intonation could be better and that 60/70 USD price shows and personally sometimes I keep accidentally hitting the pickup selector and moving it while playing. I don't know if that's just me, probably is but that's not here or there. However overall it's a pretty decent guitar, not painful to play on doesn't feel cheap and it's only 60/70. It'd be good for someone who wants to try guitar but maybe not, or someone who wants a simple cheap product for some simple fun, Or parent who's looking at a guitar for their kid who doesn't want to drop a ton of money given they may get bored of it or other set ups are a bit pricey etc. It also seems kinda loud, I don't have a lot of electric guitar experience so maybe it's more normal than I'd think I'd personally prefer a quieter experience for later in the day/not bother others playing but I can see how a lot of people wouldn't care or be happy about it because they wouldn't absolutely need an amp saving them that money or able to spread out their spending a bit over time, because let's be honest, if you're looking at this guitar you're gonna be concerned about price.

I just purchased my 3rd Glarry Electric guitar and once again amazing instrument for the price. In this occasion I want to also give customer service 5 stars. My latest shipment had some shipping or handling issues. Glarry quickly responded and help me resolve the matter in a timely fashion and no hassles. Great customer experience. Thank you again!!!

Exceptional customer service.

by R***k on February 28, 2020

The fact that this guitar arrived with a perfectly straight neck, no major finish blemishes and not a single sharp fret blows my mind. I have guitars that cost far more that had more blemishes and worse frets. The tuners are too powerful, so you might think about changing them, and while you're at it grab some new strings and a pack of tremolo-arm tension springs. You'll definitely need to do a setup. As in "completely". Once you do that though, this is an amazing deal for what you get. This is ...

As in "completely". Once you do that though, this is an amazing deal for what you get. This is not a Fender or even a Squier or anything, but it's definitely a very playable guitar that actually sounds pretty darn good once you get it set up correctly. There was even a minor issue with my order and Glarry very quickly made it right, which is also amazing that you'd get that kind of customer service for what you pay. I have no idea how they can sell these for so little (with free shipping no less!) Buy one before you can't anymore. Just be prepared to roll up your sleeves and do some work before you can start playing it.

I am very satisfied with the product but did encounter a problem with the shipping carton. I contacted customer service and they are getting my issue resolved.

by S***s on February 10, 2020

I have had this guitar for over a year now. It feels so natural in my hands that I reach for it all the time. I like it so much that I'm about ready to buy one of those sweet looking yellow tele"s too. Been playing for about 45 years. It's not a Fender but these are really nice guitars. Buy one you will not be disappointed.

by J***e on February 03, 2020

have no idea how the price can be so cheap for such good quality product. very straight neck and nicely done fret work. if it has better pick ups (current ones have pretty low output), even if the price is slightly higher, i would buy another or recommend to friends strongly to try this guitar

by T***i on January 16, 2020

Incredible value for the dollar. This is a great guitar that plays and sounds really well. Looks great too.

I received the GST Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar about a week ago. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much at this price. But I am VERY HAPPY with this guitar. The finish is beautiful and the quality very good. I did have to adjust the truss rod, because I had string buzzing in the middle of the neck. But after that it is a joy to play! I will definitely recommend this guitar to others. One note: It arrived with one of the tuning keys knocked out of alignment - rough trip I guess. I'm not send ...

I've been playing guitar since 1991 and own 30 guitars including the Big Names. For a $65 (inc. S&H!), you can't do much better. The GST is aimed for the beginner, but it is just as fun for the seasoned player. It has a neck thicker than I expected (think Les Paul Jr.) and the pickups are lower frequency, but it is a really fun guitar and is a great starting point for those who want to modify their guitar, learn to do their own set-ups, etc...

I ordered the guitar, it came as scheduled, and arrived unscathed in shipping. First impressions, the guitar was better looking that the website pictures (the body paint was excellent) The setup was not too bad, and sustain was excellent. Excellent guitar for the money.

I have a Les Paul Standard, and wanted to get an inexpensive Strat-type as a complement (and to potentially buy for the grand-kids). As I was working on bettering the setup I found that two of the saddle height set screws wouldn't turn with the supplied allen wrench. Contacted customer support and learned that they do not have any replacement parts at all, but they provided a credit so that I could order the parts (MIM Strat type) to replace them. Now everything is working very very well (for a guitar at this price point). Thank you Glarry!
