► Glarry GST Electric Guitar: bit.ly/3N7owwd

That opening riff told me all I needed to know about the guitar. Sweet throaty tones, no cheap fret buzz. Sounds like a guitar worth it’s price and that’s a good thing.

I bought my Glarry Strat during the pandemic lockdown. I changed the strings and the rest is history. I enjoy playing it because it is light. I purchased the green one. Your blue is so beautiful.

ANY guitar sounds great when Robert's playing it.

Precisely put ! Just a lonely bass player and a Brain Tumor survivor from 91 ! Music is basically great therapy ESPECIALLY for those whom had played for years hence their health challenges . These Glarry’s are AWESOME for someone on a tight budget and not just involved in a band, HOME PLAYING . . Where it all starts and Glarry is making that possible .

I think it's worth spending time dialing in the pickups and string heights, as well as the truss rod adjustments and intonation.Before changing things out. So that when you decide to replace things , you know exactly why. The GREAT thing is that it is light.That puts it ahead

Bridge tone is amazing with whatever distortion you have. Totally crunchy and raunchy. Classic early 80s before people had super distortions just great overdrives.

Thank you for this great and informative video... Your playing is fantastic and enviable. Over the last few years a progressive neurological condition has plagued me with severe hand tremors and made it impossible for me to play anymore. It's been so bad that the last time I picked up a guitar I was not even able to tune it. My playing has never been very good to begin with but now my fingers wont even perform the simplest of tasks. For those of you who can play at any level I'll say the same thing that Les Paul used to write next to his autograph... *Keep on Picking."

Really enjoy to see a man who plays Suhr guitar demonstrate very cheap entry level instrument without being condescending !

I bought that same guitar a year or two ago out of curiosity since I have a nice Strat, as well as others. I loved how light it was. I also like (the rare) light guitars. It needed some fret work--some sharp ones, and I agree with the oil on the neck--though the neck feels fine. I bought it to have as one to work on, but I never did. It's just fine for what it is. You made it sound better than I. It might be better than my Silvertone from 1965. Might not. Great to be a beginner these days with all the inexpensive (better than years gone by) guitars.

You easily talked me right into it Robert, just ordered one! Thank you!

I got one with the red tribal graphic 2 years ago.After carving the neck slimmer,frets level, and full setup,was potting pups,it rocks,and it's so light it doesn't wear me out

I enjoyed this video a lot. You were very concise and I loved the fact that you played exactly the same piece for every pickup position, which made it easier for me to distinguish the tone of each. This was also the first guitar video that mentioned using true oil on the neck.

Love your playing. I bought a Glarry tele style guitar, and all I did was change strings. Didn't have to set it up. I love the way it plays.

I have owned this guitar a few years now. I totally agree with the review. I have around 15 guitars and all are more expensive, but I record with this guitar most of all. Well worth the cost. Just posted a recording “Neutral Earth- Coma” on KZfaq. 85% of the gtr it is this guitar, 15%, Dano 59 12 string.

Good info in a timely way, thxs

I was looking to get a glarry as my first guitar. I’ve been doing a bit research and this video definitely helped me decide! Thanks!

I have the Glarry Telly , 89.00 !! I did change the nut to a bone nut . I have many expensive guitars but being a home player it fills the bill .

I just came across your video a year later awesome video beautiful guitar I was thinking about ordering a glarry I was just watching the 90th birthday celebration for willy Nelson and saw band member using a glarry guitar believe it or not I hope you have more video's coming have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year brother

Hey Robert. Wow, you made that thing sound amazing. We’re on a really tight budget and my son wants a guitar. The local shop has an Epiphone Les Paul for $199, but heck, this bundle for $109 is tempting. Just don’t want any issues to possibly dissuade a 12 y/o beginner from learning and enjoying it. Thanks.

nice vid & playing,Robert👍

I like your honesty Robert.

Brilliant video super playing as well.

Hi Robert, in your hands even a very cheap guitar has a GREAT sound! Thank you so much

That's astonishing value.

I bought the hagstrom Viking, after seeing your review,....and thx for that,...a very good 335 alternative!! Greetings from Belgium.

Robert, You are looking more like Captain Picard every day! Nice review. Just my two cents worth, buy a cheap guitar, if thats all the money you have, great. Do a basic setup, strings and stop. Otherwise your missing the point. Save up, buy that next up model if/when you are ready. Peace. Love your vids.

I’m looking for a beginner guitar,thanks so much

Just bought a white one $74 with tax arrives the 4th I have some nice guitars but hey $74 I can learn what I'm afraid to do on my other guitars THX GREAT VID.

I love my Glarry tele. It was delivered to my door for $100. That left me plenty of room to trick it out, which I did with Duncans, locking quick tuners and several other things. I enjoy playing that guitar as much as my Les Paul Goldtop. The only thing is it has kind of a fat neck. I like that because I have huge hands, but that might not work for everyone. Minimal intonation and action work too. Pretty great as it came. Wish I'd had a guitar like that to start with.

Surprisingly good sounding ! Robert would you say that the finish is a photo or apparent wood nicely stained ?

I buddy,I bought that same one you got,just for the pickups,it came with willkonsins pickups in it and I wanted them and some other parts of it,ya the neck is nice but just a couple parts is all I bought it for,have a great day

I bought the Glarry tele version a while back , I never have had a tele before , but it is fine for me , and also here is another one I bought the Eart strat , I like both of them the Eart is my favorite one lol . They are just fine for me .

cool Robert,looks to worth it for any beginner.

Hi there Robert. She's a looker eh.I don't need another guitar but for this price. Sounds good too.

I have purchased 4 Glarry basses and 7 Glarry guitars. I upgraded all of them. Love them. My last one was the Glarry Strat in Sunburst. Beautiful. Polished the frets changed the pickups to Guitar Madness premium set ($44) and l swapped out the tuning machines and put my favorite strings on. Wow do I love this guitar! I just ordered the GTL Tele style in orange. Can’t wait. Great video nice playing Robert!👍🏻 In my opinion these are a great foundation for modding. Totally worth upgrading and learning how to mod guitars.

Thanks; very informative, just might be the ticket....

If it's all you can afford then you'd definitely be glad to have any guitar...Some of us are blessed to own high end guitars others aren't so fortunate but there've been times in the past i was happy to have a cheap guitar...

IMO, Robert could make anything sound good. Thanks

I don’t know why you have to change the pick ups. Did you literally hear the sounds you were getting that to me sounded better than most things fender makes nowadays.

I've owned a few Glarry guitars, I've since sold them all. I basically used them to learn how to mod, and they're excellent mod platforms. I learned what I needed to learn and made all the mistakes I needed to make and now I've moved on to Fender/Squier guitars to mod and restore. Glarry guitars definitely need a good setup, they get no setup at the factory and the strings they use are garbage. Warning; Don't ever buy an amp from Glarry. They're terrible, if they even work. I also wouldn't recommend their Mustang imitations (GMF.) They haven't quite figured out how to get 24" scale offsets right yet.

You could make a stick with string on it sound good

tiger woods can putt with a croquet mallet

In your hands it sounds as good as anything!

The look makes me want to be all in. The upgrade cost say all out. So, I am in the middle of the road.

What is your amp and pedals? This sounds great.

Good review, thanks. I'm going out of the country and don't want to take my Les Paul custom on the plane - could you recommend a good, inexpensive copy? Thanks.

I am looking at learning how to play. Is this really ideal for a beginner like me? He mentioned about changing the strings. Are these not good strings?

yes it was a nice body, nicely painted

That’s the exact one I bought yaaay

what strings you recommend i asune d adario will do perfeft beside that i wont upgrade it as if i do i would buy fender or fender squire

Will the fret ends slice your fingers off? If so I bought a fret tool lol, call me, I only charge $86. Lolol 😂

Many !better! guitars are made from basswood. OI wish people would not say it with such disdain. Gretsch use basswood, as does Fender. So it can't be all bad, can it?

I have some expensive guitars but they are heavy. Bought a Glarry because it is light weight. I put a new loaded pick guard in it. It sounds great and I play it more than any of my guitars. I have about $170 in it . If you can not do the work yourself. I would say buy a used MIM strat.

Vedy noice vedy noice

If you're gonna rebuild the entire guitar, there's no purpose in buying it. Just get a Strat.

Still believes pickups make a difference lol funny

no offense, but I think these cheap "knock offs" are invented by/for morons, humbuckers have been a thing for decades now, better not be any buzz (even a crappy toaster has a timer on it, right?) so the fact that it doesn't have buzzing and noise shouldn't be a wow-factor. I personally hate these because the volume knob is in the worst place and RIGHT in the way,which usually wouldn't be a problem but the pots are so cheap they move when you breathe on them. Furthermore, we live in an era of heavy effects. If I designed one of these, I would scrap the "treble" and "bass" trimmers entirely and put a mount for a smartphone, we have Jack/OSC and Wireless Midi these days, which would be far superior to something that can be adjusted after the fact. Another example of 'expected' items being present that are outdated and are really not needed since the humbuckers are there anyway, which should defeat the point of needing to pre-trim the tone before it leaves the guitar. Aside from that, it works for straight forward "expected" electric playing, but lacks severely on the acoustic side. Sure it sounds so-so when ran through effects but imo the clean sounds you get from it are crap. Certain parts inhibit the strings from giving a pure sound in favor of possibly helping reduce string noise when electric (which should be detachable but is not), I won't go into detail. I suppose the idea was figuring electric players only want that straight metal sound and don't care about the diversity or flexibility in a guitar, and they probably don't play any styles outside that arena. I myself expect all the important dynamics and clarity to be there and am very picky about resonance, harmonics, and "unplugged (from effects)" performance ability as well. I suppose you get what you pay for. 90% of people getting these are fanboys or coming from the guitar hero game, so they wouldn't notice anyway, nor could they tell the difference between one guitar to the next as long as it plays and does all the things publicly expected of an electric guitar.
