Minor issues: all esthetic/looks. Half of the pick guard screws were screwed in crooked, not fixable without using bigger screws. Finish where the neck and fretboard meet inconsistent, some areas had no finish, some areas had drip marks. The Glarry logo on the headstock rubs off too easily. Strings not wound correctly on tuner posts, which will affect the bass staying in tune.
So I am happy with my purchase of this Bass, it does have some issues. It does however look good, have playabilty (reasonable string height) and it works when plugged it. Now for the cons:1) The neck has an indentation on the treble side around the 11th - 12 fret but, doesn't effect the sound or playabilty2) There is a tiny gauge in the pic guard which I could care less about3) It has GLarry on the head stock. also I bought a set of black tuners and the top peg snapped off of one.
I purchased the space somewhere around the beginning of covid not one or two months later the top piece that holds the strings on the base snapped I tried for months to get a hold of garry unsuccessfully. All I would like is to get my base fixed or something to that effect it's been nearly two years thanks guys

The reason for the 3 star review is that my bass arrived with a bent tuner on the "G" string and I am unable to get the "lobe " of the tuner to set properly. This made tunning a little difficult because I started with the "E" string and worked my way down but when I tuned the "G" string the lobe of the tuner would hit the tuner for the "D" string, so I had to back off the "D" sting so I could tune the "G" string and then tune the "D" string again. The rest of the base looks pretty good and I may update my review later.

Update 7/18/2022 I was contacted by Glarry and initially requested a replacement for the broken tuner, Glarry instead offered a $10.00 refund so I could replace the tuner. I replied that I would prefer they send a new tuner so it would match the existing tuners. For reasons unknown to me Glarry did not want to send a tuner so I found a set of tuners on Amazon for $20.00 so Glarry refunded that amount. If I could I would change my initial review from a 3 star to a 4 star but the site won't let me ...Update 7/18/2022 I was contacted by Glarry and initially requested a replacement for the broken tuner, Glarry instead offered a $10.00 refund so I could replace the tuner.

This was definitely a great purchase for the price. The amp has a "drive" effect that is a little bit rough to listen to, but it's as simple as turning it off. Other than that, I'm satisfied. No damage, all pieces present, and it looks great.
I purchased this guitar back on Sept. 2020. I had my tech guy set it up for me and it played good. although the high E string kept coming out of the saddle and hanging over the fretboard. Very frustrating. So I decided to Mod it. I bought new roller saddles and roller T guides and a new nut and tuning keys.

And started to do it myself before quickly realizing that it was beyond my skill set so I had my guitar tech guy do it for me and I also sanded off the head stock and stained it to kind of match the body color it looks good and now play great. I put some Rev. Willy super thin strings on it and it stays in tune and plays like smooth as a hot knife through butter. Thank Glarry for making affordable musical instruments for the working poor people like me!
I normally am apprehensive on any discount guitar simply because the "standard" is usually considerably more. And that in some ways still holds true. But if you want to play and you don't have hundreds to drop on an entry level guitar, this one exceeds expectations. Bought for my son to start learning and he loves it.

He wanted a red Strat and being 6 I didn't want to buy a pricey unit to start. This was the cheapest guitar on the website and I am still smiling at the choice. It feels solid, neck allows for good fret progression and allows for smooth transition. One thing I am very impressed with is that it holds tuning. Very rare in this price point. It could use finishing touches like tightening screws on the pick ups and smoother fret wires, but nothing to deny it's value and favorable playability. For the price it still wins the day. If I had extra money I would try their Telecaster version for myself, that is how impressed I am. Keep improving the product, you're on the right track to introduce more people to music. Thank you Glarry for the better than expected guitar. You made my kids day.
I like the guitar a lot. It has good points and bad points. You've done many things right on this guitar and it has been a very good starting point to modify for improvement for what I need as an experienced guitarist. I will list he changes I made, and comment some about them afterward.

1. I leveled and recrowned the frets. I expected to need this since it is even necessary on expensive guitars sometimes.
2. I made a bone nut and filed the slots for very good action. I understand that it would make the guitar expensive for you to do this, so I expected to do it.
3. I reshaped the heel of the neck so that upper access was improved. It is now like a very good quality Fender guitar in that respect.
4. I reshaped the headstock like a Telecaster, and really appreciate that you made the headstock plenty big for that to be possible.
5. I replaced the input jack because all imports need good jacks if one plays a lot.
6. I bored a 7/8" hole through the jack plate hole 6" deep to insert a lead slug to add weight at the extreme rear of the guitar to solve the neck heaviness.
7. Deburred bridge plate. High E was breaking
8. Cut down saddle screws
9. I moved the bridge plate toward the neck 0.43 inches so that the pickup is correctly distanced from the saddles when intonated properly.
It is unfortunate that you changed the placement of the bridge plate from the original position. It was correctly placed before, and it appears you chaged where you put it to accommodate the too long screws used for the 3 saddles. You had to change the routing for the pickup in the body. I rerouted a suitable hole and now all is well. Another nice thing about having the bridge plate in the right place is it fits in the pickguard recess just right.
I do not hear a need to change the electronics. They sound just fine. I love the body wood, and the neck wood
Also the frets ends are angled too much, and the truss rod access had to be carved out to use the wrench.
I'd been casually looking for a "used" fretless bass for a while......and then I found this one NEW at a price that made it an attractive option. I read the reviews that I could find....and decided to give it go. It is ultra light weight...which is a plus and a minus... it is a bit neck heavy and wants to neck dive a little. Not having any "fret lines" is inconvenient and makes things a little challenging, but... it really isn't as hard to play in tune as I had anticipated.... as long as I am pl ...I'd been casually looking for a "used" fretless bass for a while......and then I found this one NEW at a price that made it an attractive option.

Not having any "fret lines" is inconvenient and makes things a little challenging, but... it really isn't as hard to play in tune as I had anticipated.... as long as I am playing along with another melodic instrument to gauge my intonation. Playing only with a drum track.... not so good with my imperfect sense of pitch. The body was listed as "basswood".... and after a little research, I believe this is actually Paulownia or wood from the Empress Tree which is prevalent in China where these are manufactured...and matches the grain structure on the guitar.... unlike the grain structure of basswood. Light duty hardware in looks, but it is doing a great job as of the writing of this review.

Won this guitar in a contest. Came with heavy gauge strings. Ordering new extra light ones. Intonation is slightly off on a few strings, but WAY off on the lower E string. Don't know if a luthier can fix it. Pickup is microphonic so it feeds back pretty quick, but tone controls are very effective. Overall, a nice sounding guitar if it can be properly set up. Thinking about re-tuning to Hawaiian slack key. Will re-post if I do.
I should start by saying that I am NOT a guitarist. I'm a social worker who started a company to help artists & musicians who have "aged-out" of foster care.

One of our team members IS a guitarist, as well as a Grammy-nominated audio engineer & producer. He also started a metal band--so he definitely knows his stuff. I asked him to test the bass guitar & amp that we ordered from Glarry when he stopped by for a visit today ... he was VERY impressed!
Overall, for the price, this is a good instrument. Upon getting the bass the neck was bowed quite a bit, couldn't play it this way. But I did the typical new guitar setup on it and all is good now with playability.
My only legitimate complaint is with the pups/electronics. The bridge pup doesn't put out sound, even with the volume knob maxed, until the volume on the neck pup is turned up.

First I want to say that the finish on the Burlywood just fantastic. However when I received the guitar I found that the neck was off center to the right and the high E string at the 15th fret was almost off the neck. I contacted Glarry and they did respond to a possible fix. That did not work. They then suggested I take it to a Luthier and they would pay up to the cost of the guitar. I found a video that shows how to straighten the neck easily and it worked. While I was tuning the strings I als ...First I want to say that the finish on the Burlywood just fantastic.

I found a video that shows how to straighten the neck easily and it worked. While I was tuning the strings I also found that every one of the tuners were loose and had to be tightened. After realigning the neck and tighten the tuners the guitar played really well. Glarry did give me a 5 percent off on my next purchase for the trouble I went though. I do have 3 other Glarry guitars and they were received in perfect condition. Really need to watch that final inspection.
I was very impressed with this acoustic , I play on it everyday, One of the best purchases I have ever made to be perfectly honest...
I would very much love to become a glarry artist!!!!! all my guitars are glarry except for 2 but I really do enjoy the sounds they project.
Received this today. Appearance is nice. Bass plays fine after some adjustments, fret board is too long, second knob doesn't stop turning, doesn't have the other lock nut for the strap. The amp isn't good at all.

Update, I was offered a few options to rectify this. Customer service has been great. Will update again after credit is sent.
I've been playing acoustic rhythm guitar for almost 15 years, and I recently decided to pick up the electric and REALLY learn how to play the guitar. So I bought this Glarry GST (I got the Sunset color). I have to say, I am pretty impressed and incredibly satisfied with this guitar! I changed the strings and.. MAN! It sounds and plays great!

For the price, you simply cannot beat it. I've played Fender Strats and lots of similar high end electric guitars, and while this isn't quite in that caliber.. It's still an awesome instrument, especially for beginners. Definitely recommended!
The bass came super quick. I'll need to do a little adjustment, but it played pretty well the way it was out of the box. The amp is a pretty nice little practice amp. I really didn't need the amp, but it's light weight. Sounds great. This makes my 3rd Glarry bass purchased. As with all my Glarry basses, I'll put it up with my other high end basses.
Actually very pleased for the money on these, they arrived and are very light wieght,much lighter than my gold top gretch and playable out of the box, sound good but both with a personality of their own, I own many
higher end guitars, and find these to be a fav go to anyway, also bought a 5 string bass, and black laquor tele, that havent arrived yet, Thanks glarry
your on to something here.keep it cost affective for those new comers, they will one day make you proud also.A.J.Holland, Texas.

Issue was resolved. Really appreciate the customer service!
This bass is great. There was something that was way off. First the tuners were installed in a hap hazard manner as shown by the picture below.

On my Glarry GJ, they are installed with proper spacing.
The bass, after setup and adjustment, plays very well.
Very pleased with our purchase. This bass guitar sounds ds great, looks awesome, and compares favorably with instruments which cost hundreds of dollars more. Garry kicks axe!!!
Guitar arrived well packed and in perfect condition. Everything works as intended, needed very little set up. Looks great.Thanks I'll probably buy more but shouldn't (I already have 10 guitars.) Can you have too many?
I really love the body style, the candy apple red w/ black hardware looks awesome, sadly when I received my bass there was obvious damage to the neck where it bolts on, there are fairly large gaps around the between the neck and the body, the fretboard had a chunk of wood hanging from it at the very end.

Glarry please look into the wiring issues that seem to be prevalent on this instrument. I was able to play this bass on Rocksmith but could not get it loud enough to calibrate during tuning so I had to manually override the gain to max 10db in the settings and the accuracy was excellent while playing.
Very nice product craftsmanship on the body was excellent neck is straight. Worked as it should great product to model and upgrade I installed a hip shot drop D tuning and ernie ball flat wound strings Hey Seymour Duncan quarter pound pick up and electronics and a costum pick guard this is a real workhorse of a machine and the weight of the guitar is perfect

I bought this as a modding project, but I honestly may buy another and leave it stock! It's really that good! Once again, I am very pleased with a Glarry product! It's my 3rd Glarry guitar and I already have 5 Glarry basses! This won't be my last!! Glarry ROCKS!!!!

The guitars is one of the three major musical instruments in the world originated from Spain, which is divided into acoustic guitar and electric guitar, which have obvious differences. Ukulele is small exquisite and easy to carry, easier to learn and play.
Guitar Shop and Guitar official website is the choice for most people to buy a guitar. The brand and material of the guitar are two important factors that most people choose. Glarry is an excellent brand, guitars for sale has good quality assurance at present. Basswood board has a smooth surface, producing a nice mellow tone with crisp highs and powerful bass, you are trustworthy.
It is best choice for you, or you can buy it for your family or friends. Learning guitar can improve the appreciation of music art and cultivate one's quality.
