    For the price this is a descent guitar and it sounds nice. The finish is lacking in places where you can see rushed sanding and bits of glue and messy lacquering. It would be the ideal guitar as a first guitar because it's easily good enough to learn on, but not so expensive you would have wasted a lot of money if you gave up.

I’ve found out this the hard way ,, every one wants to be good without putting in the time which don’t work!! But your channel is a big help so again thanks ,, Brian Ireland 🇮🇪!! I’d buy one of these just to see how they are !! I play lowden guitar s as I live a few miles from the factory but I’ve bought Chinese copy’s of Martin guitars and got them set up with a professional luthier and they were fine !!

      Thanks for your comment. I have to agree with everything you said . . it's good common sense. 😊 I can't believe that people will still buy into the idea that you can learn to play guitar without all the practice, but if they stick with that belief they'll never learn to play . . 😊😃

    Of my 10 guitars, 4 are Glarry. I have the GMF HH (Mustang copy), GST Strat, a GT101 (Ovation copy) and a GT102 (upgraded Ovation copy with electronics.) The nice thing about Glarry is they make excellent mod platforms. I've modded the crap out of mine. The GST has the loaded pickguard from my Affinity Strat (alnico5 pickups) and the GMF has the HH pickups from my Bullet Mustang (the Mustang is a P90 now.) I put locking tuners and roller string tress on them too. The GT102 Ovation copy is probably my favorite. Beautiful sound for such a cheap acoustic/electric guitar. The GT101 is kinda garbage. Well, not totally, it has potential. I installed transducer pickups under the bridge, and it sounds ok with some effects. With a Glarry, you're always gonna want to toss the factory strings and install a set of decent ones. Their factory strings are terrible. On their acoustic guitars, the bridge saddle is usually way too tall, so it's a good idea to file it down.

    I love how you customized the $60 dollar guitar in the next videos. Issues with the saddle, the company should consider the recommendations of your video. I wonder what wood was used for the top, sides and bottom.
    The guitar sounds like a thin body guitar. When compared to the 200 pound which has a deeper sound.

      @guitar-academy  3 роки тому +1

      Students need instruments where they can use to concentrate on learning their techniques. Having a guitar with the inappropriate string height and buzzing strings is an issue for advanced users to deal with. Not for beginners.

I might just give it away and buy a Yamaha.

    • @guitar-academy
      @guitar-academy  3 роки тому +1

      watch out, I had a cheap Yamaha in for repair and the intonation was completely out, the guitar was bin fodder. The only way it could be fixed and made playable is by removing the bridge completely and then resetting it correctly. and this would cost more than the guitar was worth.
