I've seen so many demos on this guitar and I have to say this is the best one yet, you've really put everything into perspective and the demo is just outstanding, you really out done your self on this. you've given every little detail and all the sceptics. This demo was the best. can't beat it. I have a glarry coming in the mail now. i usually wouldn't buy a cheap guitar but you've made me want to try a lot of the cheapest guitars just to see how food they can really be compared to any of my expensive guitars. thanks for the demo and keep it up it's great. ~Nathan

I've watch 4 reviews of this guitar and I was super skeptical about ordering one of these but after watching this, I'm sold. Thanks for your help!!!

wow thats a honey of a guitar!!! i'm not a big fan of the hole in the wood but this baby is awesome, i love the matt finish and the sound is so mellow, i love it, a great presentation of this guiitar mate, keep on rockin.

Brilliant stuff!! It's amazing how the quality has improved with the less expensive options.

The ultimate festival acoustic ? Beats the hell out of my Sue Ryder Charity shop Chantry cutaway which cost £50 (in a sale should have been £60).

Perversely cheap guitars like this are not for the beginner but experienced players can work around their limitations. With ultra quick delivery no longer do you need to take your finest on your holidays :-) .

Just pulled one from "Wish" web site for a total of $36.09 USD total. It came almost exactly as yours did. on receiving the box I was convinced it was trashed inside. To my pleasant surprise it was in flawless condition (shipping condition). I tuned it up, and set the neck. I'll wait a couple of days to recheck intonation, and fret buzz, but so far it seems to be an amazing little guitar that I won't have a worry about if the kids wish to play it, or if I throw it in the boot, and take it off on adventures. Thank you for the review, and I honestly would NEVER had thought a guitar for well under $50 USD would even be tunable, or playable for that matter.

Can't grumble at the price . However, it sounded like it had difficulty staying in tune, and the higher up the neck you played, the tuning seemed to get slightly worse, which would lead me to believe that the compensated nut wasn't helping with the intonation. Did you check it at all for intonation? The action issue is an easy fix, that Glarry should do at the factory, but for a knockabout "campfire" guitar, its more than adequate.....providing the intonation issue gets resolved.

Check out the gs travel guitar by Harley Benton. Its a little bit more but if its your first guitar it would be a lot easier. To answer your questions the strings are less important as they need changing from time to time anyway. Yes it stays in tune. However I would not recommend this guitar for a beginner as the action is too high.

@trublgrl

5 жыл бұрын

I tried one for a while and it is a pretty nice guitar. As Chinaguitarsceptic said, the strings are fairy high, so it will be hard to play for a beginner. If you can find someone to help you set it up for your strength and style, you will enjoy it. It is a pretty well built guitar, with nice tone, not shreiky or thin sounding at all. If you or someone you know is handy, resetting the action is not too difficult, you can look up videos online. The quality of the strings does not really affect the tuning, it's more the quality of the machines, the nut, and the overall build. If you "Lock" your strings and stretch the strings as you install them, you will not have a lot of trouble with tuning. At any rate, you should be training your ears anyway, tuning is part of life, it's educational. An Acoustic guitar strap will come with a lace or cord that you tie in the space between the nut and the tuners. If your strap does not have this, use a shoelace or any soft cord. I'm proud of you for setting a goal and working hard to achieve it. Best of luck in your musical journey!

Hi, very interesting (the GAS is always there and you do nothing to help me tame it... ;) ). Can I ask you? What about the neck? Is it thick? Is it thin? Can you provide some infos about it? I know it's a very subjective matter, but do you feel it comfortable to play?

Sorry I give myself GAS all the time - but that's another matter :-) LOL The neck is a 22mm D radius - it's not tapered but it is nice and uniform and even. It is subjectively comfortable to play but the action is not something I would recommend for beginners as I think it might put some off. That's over 3mm at the 12th fret! Could be adjusted by shaving the bridge saddle.

You can't beat it with a switch.at that price one would expect to find it to be made of presboard. Make sure it has time to dry out slowly to keep it from warping as much as possible. I'd buy 2 at that price if I were in the market. Campfire alone it would be worth it.

And its a little bit curious how on the top of the guitar you cant see the line separating two bookmatched pieces of wood like you would with even laminated spruce(this guitar looks like it has one sheet of wood used on the top). I personally have never seen that on a sunburst acoustic guitar even of the cheapest quality, being actual spruce that is.

Thanks buddy that's great to understand and I will try to take a closer look at the wood and grain patterns. The top looks all painted too me as well. I struggle to see any grain in it.

You will never see that sold at certain shops i could name . It would sell more than all there expensive models

Why do you always give prices in dollars when your in the uk?

It was in USD on their website. You can buy it in the UK and from here it looks like people are saying it's £45 ish!!! Amazing! Would have made a better tile title too!!! Ah shucks! Also over 70 % of my audience is in dollars. :-)

Just goes to show what can be done for very little money! You should name the delivery people who left it outside. "Name and Shame". No company likes bad publicity and it may help others from having delivery problems.

I just ordered mine from Glary for 45.00 plus tax and insurance + under 50.00

I have this exact guitar. The action is a little high for me and the strings were a bit too thick. I changed the strings and it's a bit more playable. The bridge piece is as low as it can go. So, I'll live with the action. It has a very warm tone and, as any dreadnought, is very deep sounding. I like it!

A VERY great value! Some of the guitars I started out with in the 70's PALE in comparison to this thing! They were finger murderers! But, I soldiered on! lol!

Yup, your ears did not deceive you mate :-)

Like I have stated: guitar building is not rocket science. American made guitars are WAY overpriced. Nevertheless, that guitar could use some decent strings [phosphor bronze?]. Makes a lot of difference. I've had some fret sprout on brand new Gibsons and Fenders, not unusual, and a pretty quick fix. With a proper set-up and quality strings, that budget guitar would make a pretty nice instrument. People wanting to try playing the guitar now have some decent, inexpensive choices they can make. Thank you for showing these 'budget' guitars, as not everyone can afford to start on a $1000 guitar.

Surely at that price it sounds like cat shite?

Let's be honest, if you had to put another $55 work into it to improve it, you'd still have one dirt-cheap guitar! By a strange coincidence, I am currently trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger on a Glarry ukulele.

My GT-502 out of the box ! How much did Glarry pay for all of these great reviews ? My Glarry had frets low & high so after tightening up the truss rod, I filed down the high frets and was able to get rid of the string slap and buzz. Then I find it's in tune on the 2nd and 3rd fret but out of tune on the 5th. and 7th. fret ! I know of no way to correct this ! The bag that came with the guitar is too small and the plastic zipper let go when trying to put the guitar in the bag ! The good news is they will refund my purchase ! The guitar is made in China and like other cheap products from China it is total crap ! Save yourself and don't order this one !! Unpaid Review !!

Sorry you had troubles. They will refund you. This was not a paid review or I would have disclosed the fact. All companies have qc issues at this price point but glarry are fair.
