First of all, I'm not being paid by Glarry or anybody else for that matter. I bought a GT502 online just like anybody else would.
With that said, I was very skeptical about buying such and inexpensive guitar. I've played cheap guitars before and they are generally horrible but I must say, I was blown away by the sound of this. I've been playing guitar for over 50 years. I would consider myself an intermediate player and I mostly play older, slower stuff. I sound good around a campfire after a f ...

I've been playing guitar for over 50 years. I would consider myself an intermediate player and I mostly play older, slower stuff. I sound good around a campfire after a few cold ones. Ha.
Anyway, I wasn't expecting much for $46.00 so I was quite surprised when I opened up the box. No glaring defects, the finish looked good and the guitar appeared solid. I literally just tuned it up and started playing. Out of the box it is set up fairly well, at least mine was. The action is just a touch on the hard side but not too bad at all. A lighter set of strings might take care of that but what comes on it are perfectly acceptable. I looked hard at this to find anything wrong with it but everything looks ok to my eye. The neck is straight, no buzzing on the fretboard, the body appears solid, the tuning pegs look to be decent quality and the headstock is pretty cool.
So once tuned up, I played for an hour or so and once the strings stretched a bit, it stayed in tune the rest of the day. Every inexpensive guitar and frankly several rather expensive guitars I've had over the years never stayed in tune. Drove me crazy. This Glarry stays in tune. I'm blown away by the sound and the quality of the build considering the price.
For $45.00 shipped to my door? I don't know how they do it but I'm very happy they do.
I haven't decided if I like the matt finish but I certainly can't say anything negative about it either.
I bought this just to keep in the camper and use around the campfire but I like it so far so it might get as much play time as my 12 string.
Good job Glarry. For the money, this is an incredible buy.
