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. 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 ...

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!

The guitar has a factory defect. Both e strings Fret out on the fifth fret making the guitar unplayable I have contacted costumer service and posted a video of the problem on YouTube. They have not done anything yet. https://youtu.be/41j02D5QQ8I. I want the guitar replaced. The 604 I bought has no problems. Thank you, gd

Just got it another great guitar. I'm in love with it.

Yeaaaa...if you're looking for a guitar, don't get this one unless you never plan on changing the strings. The way you do it completely impractical. You have to reach inside the sound hole and try to feel around for a tiny hole. That's the only way to change the strings and that's a huge turn off for me.

Guitar arrived with box damaged. Opened the box and found guitar had seam that was cracked on side with controls. I glued that back together. Also, tried tuning the guitar, couldn't tune with the cheap strings. I own 3 other guitars .you get what you pay for. Paid insurance when ordered, but cost more to send back. Probably never order from Glarry again. All the extras made up for the cracked seam.

My honest review: I've never played a guitar until this one. In my younger years I've bought several only to loose interest & never give it a go... Now I'm older I'm determined to learn..... So I Ordered the black one hoping to learn on it. My first impression was it's very light (not a bad thing). Cosmetically I give it a 4.9 out of 5. Tiny blemish on mine but it's nearly not noticeable. I tuned it using the included tuner. Strummed it pretty harshly then returned. Holds tune pretty well. The ...

So I Ordered the black one hoping to learn on it. My first impression was it's very light (not a bad thing). Cosmetically I give it a 4.9 out of 5. Tiny blemish on mine but it's nearly not noticeable. I tuned it using the included tuner. Strummed it pretty harshly then returned. Holds tune pretty well. The strap is mostly useless, it's too small to use & cheaply made but I expected that. The bag is pretty decent. Nothing over the top but is as described. Picks included are too thick for my taste but remember I'm just learning so...... Strings are close enough to fretboard to be easier than many I've seen to obtain a cord, buzz free! I can say the sound is pretty good. Has just a very little mellow tone yet has a great tone.... I cant say much about the preamp whereas I do not have an amp to test but the battery is included for it. I made a stupid mistake when ordering & gave an incomplete address. I called customer service & as a plan B I contacted fedex to ensure I got the shipment without delay. After explaining, CS resolved the issue and everything went smoothly. Package arrived without any damage or issues. If you're on the fence on buying this beauty I'll suggest you go for it. For the price & quality you can't beat it... Great job GLARRY MUSIC, I'll definitely order more. Thanks!
