Glarry recently came out with some new models so they asked me to check one of them out. I chose the GIZ 102 because it looked like a new guitar! I later came to find out it is based on the Ibanez AX120 model... but Glarry's is $50 cheaper... and a set neck! I used to really love the Glarry Strats... but these GIZ 102s are my new favorite. I would suggest giving one a shot!

@AlanCheong Жыл бұрын

excellent value. after seeing so many guitars on this channel that costs 30 X to 40X of this price, this is a really good guitar to start with for beginners. the pickups sound better than expected and probably all it needs is a change of pots (when the time comes for replacement) and some better tuners. even much more expensive guitars do not get a bone nut. i like that double cut shape as well. the only thing i think which will improve the guitar significantly is a change of logo. Even just putting in a symbol instead of the word will be better than the current one. Maybe they can ditch their standard glarry logo they use for other instruments and come out with a logo just for the guitar range or perhaps use a new logo for the "series" instead of the parent logo. perhaps they can start a logo contest for their guitar series with a guitar of choice for the first 3 winners.

@lurklingX Жыл бұрын

I always use those big pink pencil erasers to polish frets. a person still has to use some elbow grease but they work really good. I always keep about four or five of them in my guitar tool bag along with the rest of the guitar tools. they work way better than steel wool and most polishing compounds. besides steel wool is not good to use on guitars. it can find it's way into your pickups and damage them.

I will say this for budget guitars. Most of them bought new have some sort of strap , cable , a gig bag and some picks. Although the cable is usually junk that wont last long . I know some of the name brands do bundles for beginners but I think they'd do well for experienced guitarist to offer bundles other than for the really high end guitars . Of course with better cables and at least a soft side hard case. When I bought my American Special Telecaster I told the sales man no deal unless I get a sturdy case and he can keep the cheap gigbag.

If you're buying a beginner guitar, IMO you'd be better off having an easier playing guitar. Learning the right way, is part of the process. And the right way is feeling in vibe with your instrument. Plus, if you have a horrible guitar, you might be discouraged from buying anything else in the future. So Glarry needs to get with it. Polish those frets. Charge the customer an extra $5 if needed.

@mikeg6666 Жыл бұрын

I've got no experience with any actual instruments built by Glarry but I have bought a case for a kit guitar I'm building. It seems pretty sturdy. Except for one of the latches not being completely stable and the fact that it only has 4 latches instead of 5 I'd compare it to many cases costing twice what I paid for it even without a brand on it. I'm actually keeping my Studio I just bought in it till I get the Gibson case thata on backorder. Speaking of you wouldn't happen to have an extra Studio truss rod cover that I could trade you a Les Paul cover for?

@nsp477 Жыл бұрын

For a bit more (310 bucks, according to Yamaha's website), a Yamaha Pacifica PAC112v will require way less initial maintenance and will come with a bridge that you can actually adjust. If you add up the cost of the products that Austin had to use to bring the Glarry to a semi-decent state, you may be spending less money with the Pacifica. Just my two cents in case any viewer is considering a purchase.

You know, Austin, I started watching this vid thinking that I might purchase one of these beasts. You convinced me otherwise. One thing I always try to consider when thinking about cheap guitars is, "How can I upgrade them?" Upgrading (for me, anyway) is harder with hard tails than with vibrato-equipped axes, so I think more about them. The thing that kills this Glarry for me is the fretboard radius. I'm a very bluesy player, and even my vibrato tends to be the type that bends strings. If that Glarry had the 12 inch radius that it looks like it has, I'd be down -- but instead, for some idiotic reason Glarry went with Fender's 9.5 inch radius. That by itself might be (MIGHT be) okay, but then Glarry went and did a radius mismatch between the fretboard's radius and the bridge radius. I'd lay down money that the bridge and tailpiece that they used conform to the usual specs for TOM-style bridges and stopbar tails. That would set those radii at 12 inches (like a Gibson) and that would constitute a radius mismatch. Since TOM-style bridges offer bupkus for individual string height adjustment, the mismatch is permanent. All of the replacement TOM-style bridges I know about maintain the 12 inch radius standard; they can't help. And yes, it's true that I own and love two guitars with 14 inch radius fretboards and 12 inch radius bridges, but here the fretboards are FLATTER, not ROUNDER, than the bridges. I say that Glarry went the wrong way here ... and my money says that, too! Too bad, too. I might have bitten this bait, but I can't fix a fretboard that's too round for my taste, and replacing the neck would be just as big a problem for the Glarry as for any other set neck axe ... if not worse.

@devilsguitaristmusic Жыл бұрын

I understand what you're saying, but Fender has many 9.5" radius guitars that have TOMs, some very expensive. I could be wrong but I can't imagine they would put a 12" radius bridge on a 9.5" radius neck (meaning Fender, I wouldn't be surprised if Glarry did something like that)
