GLARRY 39" GTL Electric Guitar for Music Lover, SS Pickups Maple Fingerboard with Accessories Pack Guitar Bag(Transparent Yellow)

I’m really impressed with this guitar. The neck is fat and chunky, the frets are excellent, only a couple of minimally high frets that I tapped down. I did file the fret ends and roll the fretboard and now it feels like a much more expensive guitar! The tuners are a bit stiff but they hold tune well. I expected to replace them but they are working well for now. The nut is cut well, again, i expected to replace it but it’s working fine for now. The body and finish are great. The pickups and electronics are junk. I will replace everything. Overall I’m really happy with the guitar. Buying these guitars for less than $100 and turning them into something that plays and sounds fantastic is a hobby of mine so I will buy more. Also, the bridge is surprisingly good, but I will install brass bridge saddles for better tone.

I bought this guitar to learn more about maintenance, intonation, and fret/board setup without risking my other expensive guitars. Being a budget guitar, it was definitely playable out of the box, but it's perfect for what I intended. The intonation is sharp almost a half step on all strings, the frets are a bit gritty, and the neck had a deep release (I'm sure for shipping purposes). The body and neck are excellent in craft and the pickups are good quality for the price point. I'm very excited to learn some skill while I sharpen this axe and see how much value I can add to the amazingly low cost. 2 week update: After replacing the nut with a bone nut (why doesn't Glarry just do this??? They cost $3 and improve the tone and clarity by 80%), blocking the frets to spec, a full intonation, and bringing the action down to spec... This tele is amazing!!!! I think the bridge pickup is just a slight bit too microphonic, even for a T style, but I'll work with the height to dial it in. Final review: Excellent beginner guitar! I say that because I now believe every guitarist should know setup and maintenance. I played guitars for 10 years without knowing how to do it. Get it, learn on it. Even if you totally mess up something, the parts are easy to replace. And the investment in your skill is worth way more than the cost of this cool guitar!

I bought this for a project, just for the body, turns out, they have their own specific cut and can't be used with fender/squier parts. Fair enough. The maple neck was very raw, and needed and extra sanding. Be careful sanding the fretboard, the frets will turn the wood grey... Fret work itself was quite good, save for a few frets popping out that were beaten back into place. Body is pretty. Extremely light. Hardware is good. Pickups are complete trash, with the bridge being more useable. My suspicion is that the cover on the neck pickup is made of copper or something else it shouldn't be and is dulling the sound. Bottom line, IF you are willing to work on it a little, it's pretty reasonable for the extremely low price you pay. And to anyone new considering this, this is indeed a ROCK BOTTOM price point. Not too bad, just needs a little tlc....

Man what a great guitar!! As soon as I opened the case and saw it, I was in love!! Then I plugged it up, the tone is soo sweet I'm might just be a diabetic now!! I am an aspiring luthier so I checked everything out. Ready to play right out of the box!! For a cheap guitar it holds its tune quite well. Only issue I have is the fret ends were a bit sharp for my liking. Quick file down with my end file took care of that! Overall I am extremely pleased with my Glarry!!

I own several guitars- most are within the $600 range and one I got for $1300, but never had a "Tele". With that said, this guitar is very decent for the money. Yes, you will most likely have to "adjust" a few things to make it comfortable to play, but again, for the money it is very decent. Here are my immediate plans for this guitar, in order of importance- 1. Replace the strings. *I just did this and it's already a game changer. The ones it comes with are dull sounding and they will turn your fingers and the fretboard BLACK! (I recommend doing this before playing. I wish I had!) 2. File the ends of the nut. The nut on mine has very sharp ends and as soon as I locate my file set (we just moved) I'm going to soften them a bit. I will end up replacing it eventually. 3. De-satin the neck. It has a funky feel to it which I find unpleasant. 4. Either replace or wax pot the pups. As a lot of Youtube videos mention, they are very microphonic. If you don't plan on playing it at higher volumes you will be fine. After changing the strings I sat down and played for at least an hour and was really surprised at how good it sounds, both clean and dirty. This is without a doubt the best $78 guitar I've ever purchased!

I wanted the natural finish Glarry for a project guitar due to the appearance and very light weight. The first one ordered was fine very nice finish and grain pattern fit and finish was great.also. And with Fender pickups, a new roasted maple neck, new bridge and brass saddles, new classic tuners, upgraded switch and pots I had a very beautiful and excellent playing and sounding guitar. So I thought that I would build another one for my grandson. Not so lucky the second time. Finish was still very beautiful. A little darker wood color and grain pattern fit very nice. That is where the trouble began. Pick guard holes were all misaligned, bridge mounting holes were misaligned, all the cavities were filled with sawdust, switch plate holes misaligned. Then the big problem. The neck mounting socket was angled backwards and high on one side. I decided to try to try to correct the multiple problems and see what happens. After much filling holes and re shaping the neck mounting recess the guitar body was ok to go on with the second mod and upgrade.

Very good fret work beautiful finish work tuners stay in tune guitar intonation was able to be set up perfectly outstanding value for the price

Waaaay better than expectations! The finish on this is flawless. I looked closely and it is like glass. Obviously it's not a top brand guitar for $$$, but it tunes well and holds its tune well. The sound resonates nicely for me. Those who may claim low-end components likely own high end guitars already. It can be a great starting point to build your own by upgrading stings and maybe components after your first album goes platinum.
