GLARRY Full Size Electric Guitar for Beginner with Amp and Accessories Pack Guitar Bag (Dark blue)

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.

While this is an intro guitar, it is a GREAT intro guitar. I have had no problems with it, except it goes out of tune somewhat quickly. Positives: I've had this for over a year with no problems. It just works. It comes with everything you need (except maybe a guitar stand). The amp has distortion built-in. The negatives are merely the result of getting a cheap guitar. Negatives: Goes out of tune quickly. Guitar is a little noisy (i.e., there is noise in the circuitry). The amp gets too loud too soon (almost all of the volume change is between 0 and 2). The distortion isn't the best - I would recommend a good distortion pedal as the next purchase.As I said, for the price, it can't be beat. In fact, my next purchase was a distortion pedal, which cost more than the entire guitar setup! That's how inexpensive this guitar is. Highly recommended.

This is not my first Glarry guitar, I have several. I experiment with paints on guitars so the Glarry is suitable in build and sound with very affordable pricing. If you are a beginner or purchasing for a beginner, not fussy about quality of wood, not a guitar snob, or really just want a raw sounding guitar, the Glarry is not a bad choice. in turning the guitars into relic style, I often scrape off or paint over the brand name on the headstock and many who have played those guitars don't even know they're not playing on a big brand name. Maybe the art put the bias in their opinion but really, the guitar does not sound bad at all.

Glerry Stratocaster is my favorite of the lesser known Stratocaster brands ermick is great I like the glerry cuz it's a better size for my hands I have a big hands for my size so this one has easier spacing for my fingers but ermick has a thinner neck for people with regular sized hands both five stars for lesser known brand
