it's a 60 pound guitar fully shipped and delivered to your door any good let's
find out Ninh explains should you buy a 60 pound
guitar holy crap you're making another guitar video yeah guys sorry is taking
years to make another guitar video my youtube channel is an educational one
and the sports things actually are a lot more popular than the guitar videos
what's having said that the reason why I'm making a new guitar video now of all
times is because I've been sent one of these this is a Glary
now I've never heard of the company before but Glary
are a company that's based in China and they will send you a full electric
guitar with accessories fully shipped to your door for about sixty quid sixty
dollars it's about that and you can't get many things for sixty quid or sixty
dollars but with this company you get a whole guitar and a range of accessories
but is it any good firstly the service is actually pretty good the
communication is actually very very good and the guitar actually arrives to your
door pretty sharpish that's not bad start as soon as you open the box though
don't expect Fender Stratocaster quality from the outset you can tell immediately
that this doesn't match the quality of Fender Yamaha or anything like that the
neck is actually pretty solid you know it's actually nice and thick it feels
nice the body is actually a lot lighter than some of the bodies that I've
handled in the past especially when compared to my Yamaha guitars Yamaha R
is basically my bread-and-butter instruments it feels a lot lighter but
not so light that it's actually cheap this on the surface looks quite good but
then you got to take a closer look this guitar came with random bits of glue
in places I mean why is that glue on the neck why is that glue on the headstock I
don't I don't really understand why there's blue there and if you look even
closer you could see where they've made their savings it's a $60 guitar and
they're going to skimp on places the places where they have skins are usually
the electronics which I assume that these pickups are the most basic pickups
that they could find the headstock and the bridge they they don't pass the
magnet test so I'm assuming that the saddles and the block the tuning heads
they're all made of pop metal which not the best but it's not that bad and
obviously the switches are a little stiff and the knobs are they don't feel
great but overall for 60 bucks this isn't actually bad one of the things
that I will mention is that this guitar isn't playable straight out of the gate
look carefully and you'll notice that the action boy the action is really sky
high and I mean we're talking we're talking 15 mil that's really really
unplayable so before you even plug it in your gods have to set it up or take it
to a guitar mechanic or a technician that knows how to set up this properly
but once you do it's actually not a bad sounding it's hard now as you could tell
from this rather for an obvious bandage on my hand I'm a little injured I've
been skiing a lot recently and I've done something really nasty to my wrist to
the point whereby I can't actually hold a guitar neck properly so what I'm gonna
do for a sound test is hand this over to my brother who doesn't actually want to
be recorded and he's going to actually demonstrate both the Yamaha my
hot-rodded Yamaha she saw in the first video compared to the new gallery'
here's the glory
and here's the Yamaha here's the glory again and the Yamaha one more time now
so as you can tell there's an obvious sound difference and what do you expect
it cost $60 fully shipped to your house don't expect fender or Yamaha style
quality but it is passable so the $64,000 question should you
actually buy one of these things and the answer well it depends if you're a
beginner and you need a quality guitar to start out or learn with and you're
not bothered about bashing it around etc then this is perfectly possible for 60
quid fully shipped to your door with a whole bunch of accessories that's
actually not bad it's actually a pretty good deal if you're looking for a
project guitar something that you can rip out the strings rip out the
electronics and hotrod it half to death like I do with my Yamaha
then yes absolutely this is solid enough so that you can actually go out and do
this it's actually a good starter guitar and furthermore there's no guitar kits
out there that cost the same as this this is actually the cheapest kit guitar
you're probably going to find if you're looking for remotely decent sound or a
gig worthy instruments then the answer is clearly no obviously if you know what
you're doing and you're already doing gigs you probably wouldn't be looking at
a guitar like this anyway but for a starter guitar or for somebody who just
wants something to mess around with somebody who wants to experiment with
guitars or just basically learn it without fear of lashing this around this
is actually pretty good if you do want to order from ghwarri
here's their website they've got a whole bunch of other guitars if you don't like
struts they do other guitars as well and I'm pretty sure the quality is going
to be roughly the same if you do like this kind of video please be sure to
LIKE share and subscribe comment on the comments section below
and if you've got any other suggestions for other guitar videos feel free to
tweet them at me and one of the new videos that I'm probably going to come
up with is I'm going to hot Rob this to death I'm going to actually rip out the
pickups put a better bridge in it what better to knee heads in it change the
strings definitely change the strings and see if I can make this sound like a
very expensive guitar so that video is coming up I'm currently making it and
hopefully when this heals up I'll be able to actually play it for you as
opposed to relying on my brother to do that so guys thank you very much for
watching and we'll see you in the next episode
