GLARRYCool Burning Fire Style Electric Guitar Christmas gift for Beginner Guitar Lover with Accessories Pack (Black)

Ordered this not really expecting much, but what a surprise! Not only is it without a cosmetic flaw, it was almost perfectly intonated at the 12th fret. I lowered the action by lowering the saddles just to suit my style of playing. I am 82 yrs old and have a degree in music, taught public school music, plus having a guitar studio. Also a certified piano tuner. Said all this to say, I have and still do own many guitars and other instruments and for the unbelievable price of $59 plus $19.95 shipping, this guitar is worth many times this price. I am satisfied with the guitar as a whole and will not be replacing anything, not even the strings for a while. Did a very basic set up just for my satisfaction, but could have been played out of the box with just a basic tuning. I can't understand so many reviews calling various parts as trash and need replacing! I can do any of the replacements so many say are necessary, but truly find the guitar more than satisfactory in every area. Also suitable for most any style music and level of playing ability. Just enjoy it for what it is....a very pretty, well made, inexpensive guitar that is a blast to play...I thoroughly enjoy playing it! STRONGLY RECOMMEND !!

I've had Gibsons, fenders, and all sorts of other standard guitars for which I've paid thousands of dollars. This thing is the best cheap guitar ever. Would I go on tour with it? No. But 99% of people with Les Paul standards don't go on tour either, and unless you're a paid musician and can write off thousands of dollars, why bother? This thing is perfect for playing around the house and the occasional jam session or gig.

Good action. Smooth frets. 5 different pickup sounds available. Plus a whammy for less than a dinner at Fronos of Spain! Light weight, which many say is the trademark of a cheap guitar, but I love. It's as light as an acoustic! I hooked it to a Vox amp and it sounded great. Noticeable tone changing. Smooth neck. Nice feel. Playability. Won't tire a student. Ease of use. Performance. A quality you won't find at guitar shops for this price. And it looks cool. Comes with a cord, strap, bag, tools, even a pick, which I think was a nice touch.

I'll start with the issues with the guitar first. Mainly because there's only 1 sorta problem, and it's minor and doesn't really affect much. The rest are issues in the finish.The bridge is a bit crooked, as seen in the first picture. The bass (low or thickest string) side is closer to the neck than the treble side, if it were the other way around I would of thought it was deliberate. The scale length is still 25.5 inches.The finish is cloudy, over buffed and dimpled with a couple tool marks or scuffs on the back between the tremolo spring cover and the electronics cover, seen in the next 3 photos.The action is quite high and it wasn't in tune. I haven't set it up yet so I don't know about the intonation.When I received it (way earlier than quoted, 3 days), the box was in good condition. Inside the guitar was sealed in foam. Opened it up and immediately tested it out. I'm writing this review within 30 minutes of it's arrival. If something fails in the future, I will update the review.All the electronics work. The pots do what you would expect. Tone knob has a minimal sweep, volume knob is kind of on/off. Not a surprise considering price point. The 5 way switch works as expected, is smooth, and doesn't make contact with the body on either side. The bridge is on par with price point and does the job.The pick ups work as expected, under powered, but clear tone wise.The fretboard is very dry, but that's easily fixed with some lemon oil. The fretboard edges are "rolled," definitely wasn't expecting that. The frets seem level, and polished, the ends aren't perfect, but won't tear up your hand. Fret inlays are straight and honestly nicer than I was expecting. The nut looks to be in order, and finished nicely.Tuning machines are tight and smooth turning. It's holding tune so far. The strings will be replaced immediately, but again, get the job done.The unfinished neck is done well, smooth and blemish free.The accessories are cheap, but better than nothing. The 2 hex wrenches for the truss rod and bridge saddles will do what you need.I am very pleased with my purchase, but the Chinese import business is a gamble and your experience may differ from mine. For the price, you can't expect too much. I happened to get a good one.I wish I had this when I started playing, for the price it's worth having it set up by a pro.:((UPDATE after playing for longer than 30 seconds)):I replaced the strings with set of Ernie Ball, and that helped with some of the buzzes. The frets need a good polishing, quite "gritty," and need leveling, so the lowest action i could achieve was a hair over 2mm. Not bad for the price point. It ended up intonating just fine. Good luck on your purchase!

For the price this thing is absolutely amazing in my experience. I had to set it up a bit like tweak the truss rod and the pickup height though. The neck feels great and the body shape and size make it pretty good for sitting down and playing. There is no neck dive in my guitar. The middle single coil does leave much to desire in my personal opinion, not to say its unusable in any way I would just use a different single coil. The humbuckers are pretty good once you put them at the correct height for the sound you're trying to get. The strings obviously are better off being changed to your preference. Overall not bad at all imo for the price. It's a great price for a guitar with a bolted on neck with everything assembled and drilled out and hardware etc if you're looking for something to modify.

To be honest, I was worried, but i needed a 2nd guitar so i took a chance knowing that most things i would be able to fix myself. BUT to my surprise, NOTHING and i mean nothing needed done to it. The action is amazing, the intonation is spot on and the double humbuckers give it massive sound. It comes with a tremolo system but no string lock which is easy to install. This guitar was a wonderful surprise. and so here we are.
