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.

Wow, a complete Stratocaster style guitar with a 20w amp and accessories at this price is amazing. I love the look of this guitar and it's hard to find a good looking green. After tuning the strings I had everything I needed to play and I'm really impressed with what Glarry has put together.

It’s sounds good. Doesn’t sound like a normal electric guitar but a normal acoustic guitar. Maybe it’s the AMP settings but it sounds the same and also the plug to the amp got stuck in the guitar so yeah…

exactly what was needed

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

An excellent guitar for the price. The guitar was so awesome. That I bought another one of them.

strings broke while tuning. 💔

Perfect beginner
