Nice little guitar for the price. Once tuned it stays in tune. Fret board is easy on the fingers. Haven't tried the equalizer as of this writing. The sound is sweet and smooth. The only issue is that there wasn't another button for a guitar strap, for which I installed myself.
Okay so received the Glarry GT102 the body was in perfect shape upon further inspection tuning and stretching of the strings I noticed that the frets are super scratched and it appears they were hammered in with a waffle faced framing hammer and the fretboard itself wasn't even sanded to smoothness . I will be contacting customer service and see if we can resolve this issue

After some time and negotiation the company and I came to an agreeable compromise , as for customer service they are top notch in assisting me through the issue and process
The bass arrived in good condition, after a quick tune I played it for a bit. Action was "not bad" out of the box but I did adjust the neck (loosened the truss rod a quarter turn with the included wrench). Fit and finish were fine for this price level. I am going to file the fret edges on mine and oil the fretboard (it's dry, like on a lot of new instruments), the frets are not razor sharp but with the winter dryness they are sharper than I like. I put on a fresh set of Ernie Ball Slinky strings ...The bass arrived in good condition, after a quick tune I played it for a bit.

I am going to file the fret edges on mine and oil the fretboard (it's dry, like on a lot of new instruments), the frets are not razor sharp but with the winter dryness they are sharper than I like. I put on a fresh set of Ernie Ball Slinky strings (the strings that came on it were not horrible, I just like Slinky's) and there was no fret buzz or any high frets. The nut is "OK". For the price range, I'm impressed. This one's going to be my "campfire" instrument.
This was a nice surprise since this was my first acoustic-electric guitar I purchased from Glarry Music. The guitar was packaged double boxed (very secure) and arrived promptly. The quality of the construction was better than expected and so was the see through Black finish. My finger board was very dark and the frets were reasonably smooth on this model. Even the gig bag was made of heavier material to protect the guitar from rain and dust - even keep little kid's sticky fingers off it.

Even the gig bag was made of heavier material to protect the guitar from rain and dust - even keep little kid's sticky fingers off it. Considering it comes with budget strings it still has a nice tone. Allow your instrument to warm to room temperature and give it two days to allow stretching to occur to hold tune. Use a small Phillip's head screw driver to tighten the screws on the machine head knobs and snug screws mounting machine heads to head stock. I would recommend this to a beginner and even an experienced player needing a travel guitar as very little adjustment is needed out of the box to play it - tuning strings and tightening the machine head wings is normal for all guitars. An allen key is needed if you may need to straighten or add bow to the neck - allow it to adjust to room temperature before and after tuning it to check straightness of neck. My instrument did not require any truss rod adjustment and I experienced no fret bar buzzing. My suggestion is to purchase a better quality strap for this fine guitar, several Pics (start with mediums - ,72 - .80, and after playing it several months with the stock strings replace the strings with D'Addarios, Ernie Ball, or Martin strings and you will be amazed at the difference in tone and volume. The only real issue with my model, which was easy to fix (watched a Youtube video), was that the wiring harness between the controls and the receptacle had not been attached to the side of the guitar - was dangling in front of the sound hole. I just applied a small piece of two sided tape to the plastic mount and attached it to the side of the body.
Seems like a lack of varnish or primer on the face of the guitar, but could be the way it is, love the way the fretboard feels, overall I absolutely recommend this guitar, the price and sound are amazing.
Wasn't sure what to expect when ordering, with some of the reviews being 3 stars, but I'm glad we got it. Great looking instrument, plays easy & sounds great. Amp is great for a bedroom practice or playing outdoors on the patio for a small party, but I wouldn't recommend it for larger venues. Overall, I am quite impressed with this purchase.
My husband decided that the kids should learn guitar and got this for Christmas. It's been easy to tune and hasn't broken, even with our rambunctious 8 year old "playing" it so it must be pretty sturdy.
This is the third of these I have purchased! To be able to buy a dirt-cheap guitar that is decently playable, and durable is great! Are these guitars as good as others I own that cost me 5x, 10x,15 times as much? Of course not. But for what they ARE, they are amazing! I keep one of them at work. Another ON my boat. And the third in the trunk of my car! All places I would NEVER leave a $500 or $1,000 guitar!

But thanks to these CHEAP, solid, and decently playable Glarrys, I can have a guitar to play in all kinds of places that I otherwise would not have one. I even took one of these on vacation, and played it on the beach in Florida! These really are the ultimate cheap 'beater' guitars!
This is a pretty good sounding acoustic bass which is something considering how bad most are. Plays well but frets need sanding at the edges BIG TIME. Not a huge deal really but not a beginner task.
Upon receiving this Guitar and started unboxing it, I found it packed reasonably pack for it's price point. Double boxed but if FedEx decided to knock it around, I fear this would have been a different topic. So, after removing all loose wrappings I gave everything a quick visual inspection and found Nothing broke or Visually damaged... After rummaging around, I found a required 9volt battery (NOT INCLUDED) I attempted it's first power up... And NOTHING! GREAT! (not so much)

SO... It's always a bad sign when you have to trouble shoot anything that's BRAND NEW! Breaking out a flashlight and started inspecting the inside body of the guitar and found that the Power leads that run from the on-board 4-band EQ with low-battery-display to the Battery / Cable enclosure was DISCONNECTED! Apparently during assembly who ever Zip-Tied the extra length of leads disconnected it from it's power source and LEFT IT! So remover the 3 screws holding the Battery/connector and removing it. Then Working through the hole in the body, I slowly and gently pulled the power leads out of the zip-tie so I had the full length to make reattachment of leads easy. Replaced battery unit and screws and Everything now works.
Now for the amp... A little touchy and loads of feedback if too close. But Really a Nice rig for the price.
NOW in general, For a $100 acoustic guitar... After giving it a good string stretching and tuning, Not So bad.. Just be aware that Glarry Quality Control seems to turn a blind eye to details. But for now, I'm reasonably satisfied with this purchase.
I never leave reviews but this Bass nice, especially for the price.
It plays really well and seems well made. There's a preamp that takes a 9volt battery and has an equalizer built into it. The equalizer works really well and allows for a variety of tones.
Mine came with a strap and a gig bag. The bag is kind of thin, but it will keep the dust off it and keep it from being scratched. Overall, I am really satisfied with this bass.
Finally received the product after dealing with FedEx drama. The guitar was exactly as expected in perfect shape and I am completely satisfied with the quality of this guitar. I would highly recommend Glarry Guitars.
Beautiful looking guitar, good quallity, not heavy, but the action is too high for female fingers and the strings would need to be lighter!
After sales care is fantastic! Great sellers!

Preamplifier EQ , it's got bridge piezo electronics and a decent preamplifier. I substituted the plastic saddle for a brass saddle generic 6 string guitar and the intonation held very close and generates a gorgeous tone. The strings are nothing to brag about to say the least they're cheapies but here is the hack I'm going to share with you all you have to do is flatten the underside of the strings with a diamond flat file be very careful not to scratch any frets and keep the guitar tuned and under tension when you do this. Then go one more pass to the underside of the strings where they touch the frets, with very fine rouge grit. I like to use those multigrit fingernail Emery boards. Voila poor Man's flat wound strings. Plays like butter. BTW the materials are sturdy and the truss rod is functional and the plek will shape up to excellent string clearance. The frets could use a good polish and if you really wanted to you could replace the nut but the nut seems to be adequate it's a graph tech knock off.
Ok so I got my GT502 today I am so pleased took some time to set up but once the strings were stretched out and I carefully wiped it down the strings will be replaced eventually , overall the quality of the instrument is excellent the finish is exactly how I expected it to be the tone and resonation is absolutely comparable to my Yamaha
Traditional acoustic guitar are incredibly around and beloved to me. We have sold a variety of acoustic guitar, developed even more of them than I could keep in mind, and engage in a minimum of one or two of them every single day. You control just how the acoustic guitar volume level and strengthen each and every instrument can have by selection of unique hardwood varieties, and different versions inside the acoustic guitar body dimension and depth. The Traditional acoustic is incredibly Well-known. Acoustic guitar has a natural timbre that is soft and graceful and achieves a variety of different effects to play a variety of different styles of music. Acoustic guitar can improve the listening ability of the practitioner and increase the concentration of attention.
How do I to choose the quality of acoustic guitar? Judging timbre from the material and workmanship of the acoustic guitar, the flexibility of each knob determines the sound quality of the acoustic guitar. Best acoustic guitar Feel the better, the string can is very low, this practice would be more than a half. Contrary to reasonably priced acoustic guitar not only feel bad, but also affect the pitch after practice, so buy acoustic guitar not limited to cheap price. the acoustic guitar is generally created using a soundboard, a resonant cavity, and a noise pack. As you may observe from the acoustic guitar, there may be rounded golf hole or hollow in the middle, which generates tunes as soon as the strings vibrate. Nonetheless, for reside performances, the audio may be estimated through microphones or pickups. It will always be located towards the bottom area in the instrument which may be put in to a mixing machine or amplifier. Other areas in the traditional acoustic instrument being observed and appreciated would be the strings, which generally amount to six in many instances.
Acoustic guitar as a person can improve the art of the practitioner, no age, education and income level, to shape a positive attitude towards life, more self-confidence to face difficulties. Acoustic guitar for females have grown to be huge business these days. Young people and preteens, the two girls and boys, have invariably been interested in music, which times they appear to truly be interested in playing acoustic guitar, and also paying attention to it.
