Would definitely order again.

I am having a hard time believing I paid $90 for this guitar.
And that's including the lefty tax. But I understand that there are less of us lefties around so $20 or so more is not heartbreaking.
My guitar arrived in pristine condition, packaging was adequate. The guitar needed a tune, intonation was spot on, string height was almost perfect, I only had to tweak one string. The strings themselves were OK, I replaced these with Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9-42s immediately. The tuning machines were ...

My guitar arrived in pristine condition, packaging was adequate. The guitar needed a tune, intonation was spot on, string height was almost perfect, I only had to tweak one string. The strings themselves were OK, I replaced these with Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9-42s immediately. The tuning machines were adequate, but I already replaced them with Hipshot locking tuners, which is my go-to tuner design.
In terms of fit and finish, it's very nice. The fret ends were fine, I polished them a little bit but that was more for practice. It's a nice guitar, and again, it doesn't look like a $90 guitar.
It plays very nicely (and it's so light!), I have only been learning for a few months, but I am really enjoying it.
Would I buy another one? Absolutely, I actually bought a right-handed version for my kid. But I would definitely buy more if/when the time comes.
color me quarantined quazy! i just picked up my burleywood p bass from the desolate fed ex office, got home, and opened it up. i am even more happy than i thought i would be. this is not my first glarry purchase, so i expect quality, but, man, the other reviews are spot on. the finish is mirror-like, the unfinished neck is going to be super fast, the frets are really finished quite well (no skin or blood loss), the bass really IS quite lightweight (be prepared for neck diving), and the sound is ...

but get this: i was groveling for a gig bag, couldn't get one tossed in, but got a discount code instead. to my surprise, and maybe i didn't read everything carefully enough (but I usually do), in the package was the bass, cord, allen wrenches, plus a pick, strap, and a gig bag.
88 bucks and change. damn, glarry. at LEAST five stars.
thanks!!

Modified this guitar with a few minor components and adjustments, and I couldn't be happier. Paired with a decent set of pedals, this guitar is comparable with ones that cost triple the price stock, and 5-10 times with the mods that would cost you less than the price of the guitar, which is itself ridiculously inexpensive. The craftsmanship is slightly better than you might expect from a guitar at this price point, and it's more than salvageable with some patience and fine-tuning. In other words ...

Paired with a decent set of pedals, this guitar is comparable with ones that cost triple the price stock, and 5-10 times with the mods that would cost you less than the price of the guitar, which is itself ridiculously inexpensive. The craftsmanship is slightly better than you might expect from a guitar at this price point, and it's more than salvageable with some patience and fine-tuning. In other words, rather than poor finishing, what you get is a fretboard that is mostly unfinished, leaving room for customization and the craftsmanship of the wielder. If modding, I definitely recommend changing the stock plastic nut and using a bone one (42mm TUSQ, make sure to get a left-handed nut, mine turned out slanted the wrong way which was not a huge deal, still sounds great after some sanding), changing the output jack (Pure Tone multi contact mono), shielding the interior cavity (copper tape), polishing the fretboard (Dr. Duck's Axwax), sanding the fret ends (a fret file and 180, 400, and 1000 grit sandpaper) then polishing the frets, putting on a set of reputable strings (Earnie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom sound great on it), and disabling the tremolo by loosening the 6 screws on the bridge, opening up the back panel, and jamming a standard 9v battery between the tremolo mechanism and guitar body cavity, then tightening the 6 screws again just enough to hold the bridge back in place (you can discard your whammy bar after this step, and this will stabilize your tuning, you might need to sand a small amount if the body off if the battery doesn't fit initially). Make sure to readjust the action as necessary, tune it up, and you're good to go. You might consider tuners with locking mechanisms and upgrading the pots. I did not do so myself as this would significantly increase cost, however I did swap out the stock wiring for higher quality wires, and this takes care of of the hum alongside the copper shielding. This guitar is an amateur/enthusiast luthier's dream with non of the regrets.
I absolutely love these guitars! So light and well balanced, with the best feeling neck! The full 24 fret scale with comfortable access makes it so nice to play. The shape of the body allows for super comfortable playing sitting or standing. Of course at this price point I couldn't help myself, and did some modifications for fun and function. One I filled the tremolo cavity with a wood block and made it into a hard tail with high output humbuckers in all 3 positions. The other one I replaced the ...

The other one I replaced the 5 way switch with 3 on off pushbutton switches allowing for 7 combinations. I also replaced the humbuckers with P-90's. These are my current go-to favorites!!!
Got my Left-Handed Glarry GST today. LOVE IT! Even though I truly bought it more out of curiosity? I love this thing! I'm a 40 year full-time professional musician and this guitar has blown me away for its price. It's green finish is gorgeous and it came in pretty well set up. Sat down and played it for an hour straight and it plays great and is a ton of fun to play. I own 56 Left-Handed guitars of total value over $100k and I'm tickled pink with this guitar.

The ONLY thing I don't like about it is the cheesy Glarry logo. It completely undermines a truly great looking guitar. If Glarry could redesign its logo to a more classy professional looking design? I'd have absolutely no problem taking this guitar out on stage with me. I strongly suggest that Glarry consider redesigning their logo to something more first class looking and these guitars will climb fast in public visibility with pros. Awesome beautiful guitar. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!! Glarry make more Lefty models available! If they are as good as this one I have? I'll buy them all!

Thank you for your suggestion. Glarry
Nice left-handed guitar at an even nicer price!
My Glarry GP Bass was a screaming bargain and a great value. The fit and finish on my natural wood-grained, left-handed sample is perfect. The action was smooth and amazingly low right out of the box, yet with no fret buzz anywhere along the fretboard. The lower weight makes is comfortably light, even though it is a standard long-scale 34" design. While the tone settings are understandably limited given that it is a split-coil P-bass pickup, it has a solid low-end sound with no unwanted surprise ...

If you want what I consider a great $300 instrument for under $100, you owe it to yourself to try the Glarry GP Bass.
Very happy with this. Great value. Had it professionally set up and he was impressed with it. A great starter bass.
First time I have purchased a guitar from Glarry and it will not be the last. I bought the GTL Guitar as a first guitar for my nephew, however , so impressed with it I am keeping it for myself. I have been playing for over 30 years and could only have wished for an instrument like this when I started.

I have been playing for over 30 years and could only have wished for an instrument like this when I started.
It is a fairly light guitar, the see through Yellow is very striking. Metal work is bright, well fitted and works. Fret work is excellent and the Satin necks shape and feel stands head and shoulders above many of my more expensive guitars. Found it easy to set up and it sounds clear and crisp. I had some reservations when it was delivered about the packaging (single box) however when unboxed it was in excellent condition.
As for my nephew, he can have one of my old guitars.
The guitar is great! For less than $100.00 with free delivery, and with a few upgrades it will be marvelous!
very fast shipping, bought this for my son and he loves it.
Got here quickly and with minor truss rode adjustment and intonation adjustments it plays great. Had heard about the next being really fat on these but it is very comfortable to play.
I was very impressed with the guitar, it looks and sounds better than I had expected.
Shipping was timely. Excellent product. I am looking forward to future business with Glarry
Thank you very much for a great guitar.

Oh the joy of being able to do things to a guitar without guilt. These come very well made and are good out of the box, BUT the trouble I've encountered is that the tremolo cavity is not properly cut for left hand. With some mild modifications to the nut and tremolo cavity and moving the whole tremolo forward 3/16 of an inch fixed everything. I also added a new pickguard and pickup covers along with DR Black Beauty strings. Now it is tuned and intonnated perfectly. It plays fantastic now!!
A fantastic guitar at an awesome price. I am new to the bass, but this feels and sounds excellent! I'm sure with enough practice I may be able to give a proper review, but my bass experience is limited for now.
It hasn't been received yet. Order didn't ship out until a week after i ordered it. Still waiting. I guess they ran out at the warehouse in New Jersey and had to ship from China. Ill update review after its received but wanted to leave the review so the pesky emails would stop. They couldn't reach out once and say your order will be delayed but they have no problem emailing over and over to get your reviews. Hope all this was worth it

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you! We appreciate your support for Glarry. Due to the spread of COVID-19, online shopping has risen dramatically. We are still committed to our same-day shipping guarantee, but the effects of COVID-19 are causing delays with order processing & transportation systems outside of our control. Thank you for your understanding. Glarry
I'm actually still waiting for the guitar due to Covid related shipping delays out of LA. Piece is now finally on the way But, I can tell you that Glarry's customer service has repeatedly been responsive and helpful in getting me information. The customer service experience often gives you an indication about the company, so I am starting off this adventure with Glarry with high hopes.
Came quickly, no damage. Set it up and It plays well. Really like the neck and the well manicured frets. Lightweight , excellent finish, and everything works as designed. Great guitar for lefties. And not that expensive. Will try another Glarry product soon.

My son told me he wanted to take guitar lessons, I let him do the research and pick something out. He chose this one to be his first. He loves it! Left handed guitar choices are limited and my only issue is that it doesnt come with an amp like the right handed selections.
I feel it's still a good buy.
Amazing guitar for the price and sounds great. Only thing to consider is if you play loud or with lots of gain the pickups are microphonic. Other than that amazing quality.

Good Bass Guitar,very light, good manufacturing, comfortable,the action on the neck is perfect,for the price it is excellent and the sound is magnificent.I have made a good investment.
I really like the bass! As is usually the case with "package" deals, the strap and cord are so-so, and the bag has no padding or shoulder straps--basically just a dust cover. I don't mind that, because I knew to expect it and because it means they put most of the money into the actual instrument. Everything is as pictured on the website. The bass sounds great and looks amazing! the knobs are plastic on the inside, but their encased in real metal, which truly impressed me. My bass did arrive with ...

I don't mind that, because I knew to expect it and because it means they put most of the money into the actual instrument. Everything is as pictured on the website. The bass sounds great and looks amazing! the knobs are plastic on the inside, but their encased in real metal, which truly impressed me. My bass did arrive with a "birthmark"--a quarter-inch diameter divot in the back of it. It's only about 1/16 inch deep, and it 's not even on the part of the area where the bass would touch my stomach, so it's no big deal. (I bought my son a Glarry bass also, and it had no blemishes whatsoever, so I think mine was just a fluke.) Here's the important thing for you to know: Although it took longer than 24 hours, Glarry did respond to my message. They stepped up and made it right. If I were ordering an instrument as a gift (or if the blemish in question had been more of a concern for me), I would want to know that Glarry stands behind their product and looks after their customers. Apparently they do. I have zero regret about this purchase, and I look forward to adding some creative bass parts to my home recordings!
Love the guitars. My granddaughters are going to love them too! Delivery was done in a timely manner considering all that is going on in this world! Both guitars arrived with no damage
This bass feels great. Frets were done well. I oiled the fretboard and greased the tuners. I really love playing this thing! It sings! The weight is light and balanced There were not any allen wrenches in the box. No sweat. I have some!
All in all I couldn't have done better. This thing is a steal. Better get you one before the price goes up! Later yall
Love the guitar, am upgrading the pickups out of personal preference. Very nice quality especially for the price. My only complaint would be the lack of availability of guitars for us lefty's. You guys have been sold out for several months which in these times is understandable but how about some regulars updates on when they might arrive. Then we could at least have a clue. I will buy a few more I assure you! Dave
I'm very happy with my Glarry left handed gp electric bass. It was very affordable, arrived quickly and sounds great right out of the box. I purchased the burlywood and I love the way it looks. I'd recommend Glarry to any beginner!
This guitar is perfect. I'm a modifier and what they call a fan if the Partscaster. And this will be perfect for electronics and hardware modifications.
Like it fun guitar to play
