Whenever you order a product online with only photos and some reviews to go by, you are always wondering just what will show up at your door. Well, today, my Glarry GT509 41" EQ Cutaway guitar was delivered to me. The box was in good shape so, that was a good sign. I opened the box, removed the guitar and, after a quick inspection, I was suddenly very pleased.

Well, today, my Glarry GT509 41" EQ Cutaway guitar was delivered to me. The box was in good shape so, that was a good sign. I opened the box, removed the guitar and, after a quick inspection, I was suddenly very pleased. I skipped the set-up and just tuned it up and played it a while and I am just amazed at the sound and tone from this instrument. It is awesome! I have owned expensive Fender 12 strings and Fender 6 string acoustic guitars in my long lifetime and, with a little effort in doing a set-up on this guitar, it will play as good as any of those did. The neck (always a concern) is finished well and the frets are level with no exposed sharp ends at all. The flat black color is awesome as well and I was again pleasantly surprised to discover, that along with all of the other extras they included (spare set of strings, 3 picks, optional pick guard, neck adjustment wrench, gig bag, and strap ) there was a 9 volt battery already installed in the battery compartment for the electronics. (You simply need to take out the battery and remove the plastic seal surrounding it) So, 5 out of 5 stars for this guitar and, I am really looking forward to tweaking it a little bit and believe me, the tone of this guitar right out of the box will be very pleasing to you. I am used to very low action on the strings so I will be lowering that a bit but this is a great deal in my opinion and you will not be sorry you ordered one.

TL;DR: Sounds good; reasonably easy to play; mediocre workmanship; good deal at the price. Not having played for a decade or so, I needed a good practice guitar. This fits the bill. The good news is that it was playable out of the box. The tone is very good and got better after re-stringing with Martin Marquis thin-gauge strings (for the record, I have only used it as a straight acoustic, not plugged in to an amp).The action is a bit high; when I get up to speed and return to my 1966 vintage Epi ...

On the downside, the workmanship and quality is mediocre at best:gaps where the end of the fretboard meets the body; a couple of small gauges in the slot for the bridge (looks like a chisel slipped; a visible gap at one corner of the electric box; rough finish on the body. Basically looks like something home-made. All that said, it's still a screaming bargain at the price, and I have no regrets about buying it.

My guitar was delivered undamaged and it was playable right out of the box. Just had to tighten some of the hardware but besides that it was great. I am a veteran guitar player (30+ years) and I was looking for an affordable guitar to play and write on and this guitar went above and beyond what I was expecting. Thanks Glarry this is the second guitar I've bought from you guys!

Got my Glarry gt509 today. I have to say I am impressed, it sounds and feels better than a straight acoustic (another brand) that I paid twice as much for.

This is my first guitar and so far I absolutely love it!!! I wish I would have found out about Glarry years ago, as I would have made a purchase a long time ago. I will be buying more, especially for the price. You just can't beat it.

I've spent a lot of money on guitars in the past and this is a nice little bang for your buck. Way out of tune but it arrived in perfect shape, throw out all the accessories and put good strings on it and it sounds great! You're not going to play Red Rocks with this guitar but overall it sounds and feels great!

Made purchase for my son. He has been extremely happy with this product. Perfect sound and very well made.

Electronics work The frets are not dangerously sharp. One issue. The tuning machines will not tighten onto the headstock, I turn it with the 10mm wrench and it will just spin forever. This effects how well it stays in tune. Which effects the playing.
