GLARRY Full Size Electric Guitar for Music Lover Beginner with 20W Amp and Accessories Pack Guitar Bag (DARK BLUE, 39" Right Handed)

If you can finish reading this review, you must buy this guitar! This guitar is absolutely beautiful (the green finish one... woot). The guitar comes like all other guitars; it needs to be 'set-up' and attuned. Unless you pay a music store to do it for you when buying a guitar (often built into the price tag), all guitars need different levels of set-up; regardless of their cost. Watch a few videos on the subject if you don't already know, and you will see what I mean. I have not set this one up yet, but I have tested it out 'as-is' straight out of the box. It was quite impressive without any work, but it was clear that it needed a full set-up. It is light-weight but sturdy; thanks to the basswood body and finish. The neck seems to be white maple which makes it lighter as well. I have all the equipment I need to set this guitar up and start using it, including a few items which were not part of the package. It still has only set me back by about 130 or so in total (July 2023, wait for the real inflation to kick in...). That is okay though, as the guitar has already proven itself to be a capable instrument. During my initial testing, I realized there was a great deal of set-up needed to condition this guitar to my liking, and it may be a more elaborate project depending on how an individual prefers their set-up (beginners: refer to the five bajillion guitar set-up videos). Newbies can learn a lot by buying this guitar and watching the necessary 'how-to's'. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty or making a few mistakes on your first guitar. It builds character; both for you and the guitar! The frets have rough edges, but that is caused mostly by the fret boards and neck shrinking during warehousing, shipping, etc. after production. This is fixed relatively easily with fret files; which set me back a whopping seven measly bucks. The fret boards need to be lubricated and conditioned, the neck needs sanding for my taste, you will need new strings, etc, etc, etc. Again, all guitars require set-up and care to get it ready and keep it happy. The strings that came with it are fine enough, but will have to be tossed in order to finish the set-up properly. Do not take them off until you are happy with the string 'action' and tremolo 'float', or you are wasting a good set of strings to help you during set-up. And be sure to get strings of the same gauge so that you don't mess up your set-up too much. That includes attuning the individual strings and so on. It should also be noted that minor set-up adjustments may be necessary depending on the tensile strength of the different strings you install, despite being the same gauge, but this is after everything else is completely finished. And lastly, as the guitar sees use and time passes, further set-ups are inevitable. The amp is fine. I don't know why people are whining about the sound it produces. It is absolutely and ridiculously loud. Are they trying to host a garage band concert with a 20W amp or something and have the volume maxed? At like 10%, or whatever it took to get the gain to produce distortion, I was already feeling like my cat was scared out of her mind and I was having the time of my decade here. You will have to buy a decent guitar strap for comfort, and I would highly recommend a stand or proper case for storage. The bag included isn't going to keep it protected by itself. Listen, I just spent a lot of time pouring my heart out over this 'cheap' guitar. I'm not yanking anyone's chain or being spoon fed by anyone to do so.

Listen, if you are considering this guitar already to get your journey started, and haven't clicked 'Buy Now', I don't know what else to say.

This is a great beginners guitar. The thin plastic cover is useless but the guitar is good. Price is great for what you get.

this was a very good product. The box came damaged but luckily the guitar was in good shape. A couple issues I wanted to make known though, after a little while the Amp starts to make a weird kinda 'popping' noise...it's not too bad but can get annoying. One minor issue with the guitar was that when you play the the low e string on the 2nd fret it doesn't play right...but it could also be something I'm doing wrong..? I am a beginner so I don't know a whole lot about electric guitars but I would say that this is a pretty good one for a beginner and for less than 150 so I can't complain much. When you move the guitar around you can hear something moving inside but that doesn't really bother me. Another thing, I was going to play and I noticed the g string was very loose, so I went to tune the guitar again since I figured it was just because it's a new guitar so the strings were coming out of tune alot the first couple days...but then I look and see the whole string came off (I did end up fixing it and maybe I did something to cause that to happen.) it is a good guitar though. :) I do recommend! You may want to buy a better quality Amp though, the one it came with is decent for the price.

how can you beat a first guitar for this value and cost? I mean I played guitar for quite a while as an amateur and the quality of the instrument is really great! Given the cost. It's frets and solid neck are good. Pickups are decent hardware is good. I mean if you're getting a guitar for the first time or for someone else, this is definitely worth it.

Arrived on time, packed very well. The blue guitar looks really good, the amp sounds pretty good for the size . Now the guitar it needed the string lowered, intonation needed a little tweaking and the frets are sharp, I'll wait on that until I put new strings on. Stretched the strings 3 times now it stays in tune.. all in all I'm very happy with the purchase and the price ( I've never owned it Fender style Stratocaster before, I like!

Good starter guitar!

Decent beginner guitar kit for the price. Only recommend this for first time players. Not a good gift for a current guitar player. Included travel case/bag is thin and provides very little protection. Amp worked when tested.

It’s a beginner guitar. Neither tone knob works. The neck needs a bit of sanding and has a ding near the third fret. EDIT: I was contacted by Glarry and they offered a full refund. I changed the stars from 2 to 3 for that offer. Again, it is a basic, beginner guitar great for learning to play or learning to modify.

I have just received the guitar. Its beautiful, it looks great aside from some minor damage. I have not tried playing yet, but that is because I am in the process of changing the strings (In my experience, the strings that instrument kits get sent with aren’t the best, so I bought some D’Addarios). The thicker strings (E A D) came out so easily, I thought it would be a breeze. But I got to G B E and they aren’t coming out. After a look into the guitar, I realized the ends (the circular parts at the end of the strings) were turned a little, therefore making it stuck. Edit: I've since figured out the solution. I would also like to add that this is a very affordable guitar with a cheap amp. From what I've heard, you can make even the cheapest guitars sound great with a good amp. The amp that came with this kit hums if you're not playing. It's a good deal altogether, and the amp is mediocre and I can deal with that, but because of its mediocrity, you get tired/annoyed of it quickly. So if you want this beautiful guitar, I suggest you get a good amp to go with it. One more thing to add, at first I thought the pick guard was scratched up and damaged (though this is not the damage I was talking about earlier) when I first opened the package. It is not. It's the plastic protection over it, the guard was not damaged at all. So just make sure you remove that before forming an opinion. :)

مكبر الصوت مايشتغل واول ماحطيته على الكهرباء بداء يطلع دخان منه

Belle guitare mais un peu faible pas la guitare comme t el mais les accessoires corde ceinture fils de ampli oui pour le prix c’est bien aurait aimer payer un peu plus mais bon oui je le recommande

Was as described . Was good for beginners.

Would be better if the amp didn’t have so much static.
