Great after some minor setup issues. Adjusted action and intonation. Set the pickups to the right height. Plays very well

This was received quickly and was very well packaged. Had to spend some time fixing fret ends and setting the action. Had no problem getting the intonation spot on up and down the neck. Tuners had to be replaced almost immediately and the pickups were passable. It's turned into a nice playing instrument that will probably have the electronics replaced if it continues to play well. The fit and finish is quite good and for the price, this is a pretty good deal.

I recently began working on my own guitars. Watched videos, read articles and felt it time to get my hands dirty. What I wasn't going to do was start my experimenting on my Gibsons, a 1970s J-200 or my 1960s Les Paul jr.. Thought I would give the pawn shops a look and find my first victim. Don't bother, they have the internet and believe they have the best of what ever they have. Started looking on line and found this guitar, at this price! I had my first victim.

Don't bother, they have the internet and believe they have the best of what ever they have. Started looking on line and found this guitar, at this price! I had my first victim. I have done everything to this guitar again and again. It is my Frankenstein. That being said, I play it live, record with it, take it apart and put it back together looking for new sounds. Out of the box, needed work but it has been an extremely great guitar to learn how to work on guitars. Now, spend $60 dollars and buy your own Frankenstein. Enjoy.

This is a very attractive looking guitar and built well but doe need help. First impression pickup are very thin sounding so I will be replacing those and just because I will change the neck for a different profile more to my liking. But this guitar is playable and great for beginners to learn on worhospending a lot of money

First thing first it will arrive with action higher than most les Paul's! So you will need to lower it first thing…second intonation will be horrible expect to do that secondly! I got lucky and got nice frets but you may have to do a complete fret job! My strings were good but some say they had to change theirs first thing..now the pickup…the humbucker is actually pretty sweet and more than I expected..the bridge pickup well it's just there…it's decent to say the least…guitar is extremel ...

But all for all it is worth the money if you're willing to do some work on it first!!

I got the blue one and for the price, it's a good value. Quality control at this price point is somewhat hit and miss, but from what I've read, Glarry is easy to work with if you do have a problem. Mine had a tone knob that was drilled crooked, so it would rub in one spot. I had one lying around that matched, so no big deal. I also decided to replace the plastic nut. A word of caution. I tried buying a standard 42mm pre-slotted nut, but the slot in the neck was cut too deep. I ended up having to ...

I tried buying a standard 42mm pre-slotted nut, but the slot in the neck was cut too deep. I ended up having to make a custom bone nut from a blank. That's not a job you can tackle without a few hundred dollars worth of specialized tools. I also changed out the tuning machines. The fret work on mine was really good. No high frets or sharp ends. The stock pickups are fine for my needs. I play at home, and do some luthier work as a hobby. Overall I'm happy with this guitar, and I will probably buy more Glarry products in the future.

very pretty guitar, it had pretty high action out of the box. but after shimming the neck and leveling and polishing the frets and oiling the fretboard, it really started playing very well, a new set of strings made it play and sound very good.

The guitar is exactly what I expected it would be. Needs some fret work (sharp edges at the bottom of the neck where frets stick out) and the guitar was damaged in shipping (large paint chip in the bottom of the guitar at the tip of the horn) I'm sure glary would do something to compensate or fix the issue but honestly it's what I was looking for. I plan on rebuilding the guitar and I bought it for a pre painted/assembled body and neck to learn how to work on some of these issues on a cheap guit ...

I plan on rebuilding the guitar and I bought it for a pre painted/assembled body and neck to learn how to work on some of these issues on a cheap guitar I won't care too much about if I destroy it on accident. Was very playable out of the box though it had horrible strings that refused to stay in tune doing bends. I've already got a new bridge and Grover tunes on order and plan on doing pickups as well. All in all I'm pleased with the purchase

Nice guitar. I had to dress the fret ends to smooth them, and adjust one saddle. Guitar plays good, and has a decent sound, considering the less expensive pickups. I am very happy with this machine !

I bought this for a modification platform as all the YouTube reviews indicated the neck and body were decent. Mine arrived in great shape, no issues there. It DID ned a string change, intonation set, and action lowered a touch, but I expected that.. do not recommend gifting this to someone unless you set it up first. Interesting point.. I also own an Ibanez RG Gio, which cost twice as much. and the neck on the Ibanez has more issues than the Glarry! SHAME ON IBANEZ! I got to learn how to fil ...

I also own an Ibanez RG Gio, which cost twice as much. and the neck on the Ibanez has more issues than the Glarry! SHAME ON IBANEZ! I got to learn how to file frets thanks to Ibanez (the lamers). I also own a Glarry 2-pickup bass.. same thing.. electronics suck, neck and body are great. If you want a good, cheap guitar to learn mods on, get a Glarry.. the results are quite playable and toneful once you replace the electronics and hardware. I have an axe that plays as good as any Fender Player model for a LOT less, and I learned how to save cash on repairs and setups!
