The truss road adjustment was no use. I decided to take the strings off hand sand down the bridge saddle and cut the string nut. i have played guitar for around 45years,and did repair work myself.

Just received my glarry guitar today and it seemed like they sent me a guitar that was returned by a different customer. The headstock was chipped and the sound hole seemed to have been faced with some discoloration and while i was tuning the guitar and noticed it wouldn't tune right i discovered that the bridge pin was displaced and pushed up. May i please be sent a new fresh guitar since it seems like this guitar was a guitar that was sent back by an unsatisfied customer?

First off I cant believe the amazing customer service of glarry. I received my guitar and it had some finish issues. I contacted glarry and they immediately took care of me and they are giving me a partial refund because I didn't want to send it back because it plays so dang good. To tell you the truth they have better customer service than Martin guitar I had some issues with my Martin and they wasnt as willing as glarry to resolve issues. Thanks glarry you guys are awesome

Received my Gt502 in a timely fashion, the box was a little tore up, but left only a small mar on the backside edge... Out of the box it was a NICE looking guitar, i got the black matte, but I noticed 4 major things: 1)the headstock and tuner spacing are VERY CLOSE. I fear if I use anything thicker than a 52 that my strings will actually touch each other right before the nut. 2) the strings included are pretty bad, immediately switch them out to some d'addario .52's. 3) the Frets definitely nee ...

I fear if I use anything thicker than a 52 that my strings will actually touch each other right before the nut. 2) the strings included are pretty bad, immediately switch them out to some d'addario .52's. 3) the Frets definitely need dressed looking at them they are discolored and I don't know yet if they'll age ok, they also stick out from the fingerboard tearing up my hand. Once I file them down we shall see. 4) my biggest issue was the obvious warp in the neck - it looked like a recurve bow! I cranked on the truss rod and nothing. At first the rod seemed like it wasn't even a fixed inside the neck but once I got it to turn and tighten it seemed like it may work but it didn't. I actually had to put the damn thing in a vice with a long jig to get the rod to straighten the neck out. Overall though once straightening the neck the best I could, and changing the strings it is playable, and has decent tone.

You sold me a poorly intonated guitar, and you did it knowingly, and you do it every day. It's the least rock n roll thing possible. Luckily the truss rod at least caused good action to be possible. Can you please adjust the specs on the saddle for future clients?

The construction is good and the sound is also good but you need to pay ALOT MORE ATTENTION TO FRET WIRE ENDS. If this was for a beginner playing this guitar would tear up their hand and really make them think about playing guitar.

I got the guitar a week ago and found it unfinished.I had to sand the finish to make it smooth. Also, the nut was the wrong one for that guitar and I am having a new one made...7 frets are too high to play without the strings buzzing..It is a very pretty looking guitar and I do love the tone from it.. when the luthier is done with it, I am hoping to fall in love with it and have the circuits put in to make it electrified! I would still tell anyone to buy but would warn them of the defects I fou ...

I bought this guitar to fix up and customize. For the price, I think it's a great deal. But it needs far more work than the Glarry Strat-style electric I customized, especially the binding and finish. That said, it's assembled, and it sounds good, making it a better deal than the much more expensive acoustic kits I've seen.

The item was great and great value for the price. I was not pleased with the fact it was just left on my door with no knock or email or text notification. I've had items stolen from me recently in the mail and was worried about this delivery of such a big item. The only way that I knew that it had arrived was due to the fact that I happened to check the delivery status on FedEx.com. Item Satisfaction is 5, but delivery is 1 in my opinion. Thanks!

Not bad for a beginner guitar. Will not received above 3 stars from me as it does not stay in tune very well with how loose the knobs are. But hey, 40 some dollars and I have a kick around guitar for work.

For the price the guitar is good if you know how to work on them. When mine arrived i was pleased by the looks but it has and still has a few issues but it is now playable. It seems like in different places, the binding is the only thing holding it together. I can see light thru the inside. The most notable defect is the bridge is not centered causing the high e string to set off of the fretboard. I ended up removing the nut and moving it to the low side making it play better.

It seems like in different places, the binding is the only thing holding it together. I can see light thru the inside. The most notable defect is the bridge is not centered causing the high e string to set off of the fretboard. I ended up removing the nut and moving it to the low side making it play better. I also had to re cut the nut a little. Now it is very playable but far from perfect. It sounds very good , even the bass side and it stays in tune well. I would only recommend someone buying one if they know how to do repairs or is willing to invest at least $100 to fix the issues. Maybe I just got a bad one but I am still fine with my purchase. There is not many places where you can get a full size acoustic that can be made playable for under $50 shipped. I also wish they would change the color of paint on the back and sides. Brown would look good but this comes almost orange. Of course it doesn't affect the playability but it makes it look cheap. A brown paint would make it look more expensive . So if you are willing to take a chance to invest time or money or both, this will be a fun guitar to own not having to worry if something happens to it. Thinking back tho, I did have to restring it because when initially tuning it up. the high e string broke but would recommend that anyway because the strings are probably the worst ever. Maybe i'll do a video review if I get time

To be honest, I was not expecting as much as some of the reviews I've read, as I repair and service guitars and amplifiers, and have played for 38 years. But for the price it's hard to beat what you receive. The guitar arrived with no damage, and that's pretty amazing considering the packaging. Once I tuned the guitar, the action was unusable past the 9th fret. I remove the nut and filed it down 1.5mm and the action was better. Overall the fret dressing was ok. There were a few frets that needed ...

But for the price it's hard to beat what you receive. The guitar arrived with no damage, and that's pretty amazing considering the packaging. Once I tuned the guitar, the action was unusable past the 9th fret. I remove the nut and filed it down 1.5mm and the action was better. Overall the fret dressing was ok. There were a few frets that needed slight edge dressing, and I polished all of them since I had the strings off. Since a couple of the frets that needed edge dressing were the very upper frets, I applied painter's tape to protect the body. When I removed the tape, it removed bits of the very thin decal around the sound hole. Bummer. The tone of the guitar is average. It will make a nice practice/travel instrument, and that's what I bought it for - I'm not worried about it getting damaged. These are entry level/beginner guitars, and that's what you should expect for the price. You can spend a little more to modify/improve them, but be mindful of the ravers on YT and their reviews. Most of them tend to exaggerate in order to get views and subscribers. :)

The E string needed replacing and you have to tune it pretty often. It's good for learning.

I have purchased several acoustic and electric guitars from Glarry Music. They are a new company with lower priced instruments. I found the GT502 to have sandy grit in the finish coat. After light sanding I was able to get the surface smooth enough to give the guitar away. This instrument has excellent tone after hanging to better strings. I found the neck to be a bit thicker than preferred but the action and weight are quite acceptable.
