This is how I treat Glarry's pitiful guitars!
This Guitar Turned out Really Good! Just ask Adam, he loves it!
How would you have made it better?
Tell me in the comments! - Jak na to + styl
I've did about 7 or 8 of these glarry guitars for customers. I've had all ranges from ones where the frets were completely horrible, to 1 that i had where it had 1 single fret that was slightly high. regardless, for the price, glarry guitars arnt bad, and can be totally awesome with a bit of work. I do repairs, and mods on guitars in my spare time, mainly as a hobby cause i enjoy working on guitars (and basses), most common question i get is "How much would you charge me to make this guitar awesome?'' I always give them the same answer: "You bring me the parts you want on it, after im done, play it and give me whatever you think is fair". People seem shocked that i won't ever name a price cause i don't do it for the cash, i do it cause i enjoy doing it. Even if i do have to charge someone, its basically cause they bring me a non working guitar, and ask how much would it cost to make it great again, and i only really charge them for parts. For me, just the experience alone is worth it. I enjoy an afternoon when i can get out in my shop, toss on some good tunes in the stereo, bust out my tools and just relax and get away from the real world once and a while, specially the state that the country is in right now. Always nice to just disconnect for awhile lol
I@dragonstorm8171 man your awesome. I have two techs--- the one that I usually go to was out of town,so I went to the other guy. His prices had increased Way too much
Dude u are the breeze bro,love the u tube channel,wish I could do some of the things u do brother,keep rocking Sean
just something satisfying about watching a mundane cheapo guitar transform into a fully functional butterfly so to speak!
Not to take anything away from you guys, nice work. That cig in the headstock killed me, great vid Adam!
C'mon D'Addario show a Brother some love!
Great show
It's cool to see how consistent your content is.
You never fail brother, always being kind and hookin people up. Also shows that a cheap guitar isn’t a bad guitar. A small amount of tlc and you’ve got a nice playing instrument.
I upgraded mine with humbucker loaded pickguard,22 bucks,bone nut 3 bucks,new Ernie ball super slinkys,4 bucks.im retired so my time isn't worth much.complete setup,fret level and polish,truss rod adjustment,new nut,strings,pup height,intonate.i really like the lightweight.now it plays like butter,and rocks the house.i didn't even have to replace the cheap tuners.just tighten them up ,lubricate the new nut,lock the strings on tuners, and it stays in tune fine.
Nice work fixing her up. For 50 bucks it had a decent looking finish. 👍🎸
Getting flashback vibes here, well done! 👍
Great job and great video. Honest and to the point. Thank You.
Dude your a beast love this channel !!!
Thanks for getting right to the point and staying on task!
Glad it was helpful!
So cool. I wish I could have seen this when I was a kid!
Awesome job on the neck . That is a nice looking guitar
Fine work!
Good work subscribed. Thanks for the great knowledge.
Awesome, thank you!
Always good to wake up and run across Scar my guitar. 👋👋💯🎸🎸✌️✌️
Love that finish on the strat
I recently discovered your channel. Another great video! 🎸
I like seeing you both on the videos, happy for the guy who got the ebay special scarred guitar!!
Really like how it came with a fender shaped headstock :))
Very nice ❤
Watching from France 🇫🇷
Two things I do that I've not seen anyone else online doing. If the neck screws are tight thru the body its possible for the screws to tighten against the body without the neck being set solidly in the neck pocket. I'll measure the major screw diameter of the neck screw then select a lettered or numbered drill the same diameter as the major screw diameter or the next available lettered or numbered drill size larger. This allows the neck to be firmly in the neck pocket. The other thing is taking a chamfer bit or a center drill and break the edges on neck screw holes in neck pocket and on the neck. I've worked on guitars that had such a large 'wood burr' that kept neck from seating properly. This can solve problems you didn't realize you have.
I'm writing my first comment at 6:06 in the vid. This is because I want to compare and contrast my (as yet incomplete) upgrading experience with your own.
I beat you slightly in the price department, with my Glarry coming to the door for just shy of $50. My experience says that my Glarry -- and probably yours too -- is thick enough to hold a full-sized sustain block rather than being too thin. I started my upgrade with the bridge. I actually bought the wrong one; it fits fine but has a zinc block instead of the steel one I thought I was getting. I'm actually not sure that I don't like the bridge, though, because it sounds pretty good, the guitar sustained fairly well before I changed anything (and improved slightly with the new bridge and block), and the zinc block is full-sized. This means that the block is an actual upgrade over the cheap stock bridge. The Glarry needed some routing to fit the larger block, but I expected that.
I did do a fret job on the axe; at this price point, I would expect to. I might mention that the last two frets had a problem. They stuck up far enough so that the 20th fret played the same note as the 21st -- badly. This was a problem ONLY on the 1st string. I probably should have tried hammering them down before doing anything else, but forgot that step (I'm 62.5 years old; gimme a break!😎) I went ahead with the fret job and finally got the last two frets to the point where I could raise the 1st string's saddle one half turn to adjust out undue buzz. I'll count that as a win unless those last two fret give me future problems.
The only other mods I've made so far is to replace the cheap plastic nut with a graphite unit bought from Guitar Center/Musician's Friend (the ProLine F-style) and the stock bridge pickup with a cheap (but apparently REALLY good-sounding) single-coil-sized humbucker. It's true that the Glarry has the cheapest and lowest-quality wiring that I've seen in ANY ELECTRONIC OBJECT IN MY LIFE! This is bad for me, since I hate soldering, but I have a new wiring harness due to arrive tomorrow. That's the next replacement. The stock pickups are, of course, ultra cheap, but many cheap pickups sound amazingly good ... Danelectro's lipstick tubes come to mind. This means I haven't decided yet on further pickup replacements. I will mention that I've been playing the guitar a lot since putting in the little humbucker, and I've found myself making clean rhythm parts with the bridge humbucker! I've never been inspired to do that before!
I haven't decided what to do with the string trees yet, but I'll look to see if I remember correctly that I have a pair of roller trees lying around. (Nothing like using money already spent!😎)
My last upgrade will be the tuners. You're right that the stock ones have to go! My choice, however, will likely be in favor of a set of Wilkinson EZ-Loks. I have no problem with your choice, but my philosophy is that the more simple, the better; less to break. The EZ-Loks don't have a locking mechanism. Instead, the makers merely drill two holes through the post at right angles to one another. This helps the player tie a locking knot in the string, which yields pretty much the same results as a locking mech in a form no more complicated than a regular tuner set. The player can also opt NOT to use a locking knot if so desired.
Mr. McMagpie makes the very good point that the time of the person working on the guitar is worth money. I agree completely, but I bought this guitar specifically to work on, improve, get experience and improve my guitar tech skills. Even if I kill this guitar, I haven't lost much money ... and I won't kill it since this is not my first upgrader. It's just the first brand new guitar that I bought to do this with; the others were all used -- and more expensive! In my opinion, therefore, all of the additional cost is tuition. The endgame gives me a guitar that I can play, be proud of, and (maybe) be inspired by. I cannot lose!😎❤️️🎸‼️
Soon as you started filing, I was like “I’d be done scarred that fretboard pretty bad!”
Great video, bro. Subscribed. "Cogelo suave!"
Watching some of your old videos now. Interesting to see how far you’ve come. Congrats. Mostly just commenting and liking the videos to help the algorithm.😂
I appreciate that!
Sounds clean nice
Sean you are awesome!
Outstanding, after shimming the neck pocket, the "sandwich" is there. Body, pickguard, maple heel & fretboard with frets. Those 4 layers need to be right mix to match the saddles heights for that profile view. Then you have a fighting chance of setting up the guitar. As for the frets, those most likely needed level & crown because the truss rod was adjusted for relief, as the wood moved the frets did too.
That was fun.
Thank you for making this video my hometown is Danville Illinois and I feel more at home and understand everything that you're explaining here to fix my guitar I bought $90 Glarry Tele that looks beautiful and perfect but sounds like ass. I'm trying to figure out from a beginner standpoint how to even attempt to make it sound better I don't know much about guitar parts so I'm learning to thank you for this video it's helped a lot and give me more confidence in what I'm trying to do
Cool Video
Sean that green telecaster I bought from ya has probably been one of the best playing guitars I have owned I been playing since I was 12 and all my other guitars are just set off to the side always great work brother
Proves the value of a good guitar setup.
So the razor blade on the fretboard is how you scar a guitar! I used to do that on pawn shop guitars. I thought I was the only guy doing that. I love seeing and feeling the grain. It builds your callouses . That is trash electronics in that Chinese pickguard on the guitar, Ceramic pickups and the least solder they could, that new pickguard man Almico V and great flux core solder. Big difference! I love that ethereal tone
Turned out pretty damn killer man
Great video !!
Thanks for the visit
Love the channel. I bought this same guitar and put a bunch of money in it, for the record a full size block will fit. Its snug but essential. No matter what pups you put in it, the zinc in the block, plate and saddles will suck the tone out. There are plenty of cheap alternatives for smaller bodies also.
where ya been?
Really great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Sean your guitar playing has improved greatly
This video is a re-load lol...it's a year and a half old, but thanks anyway!
he plays way better than you think ;) you can tell by his licks, he just can't play cover stuff cause of copyright claims i'm sure
wow, very cool..
You can do this with almost any budget guitar. I bought a Fender Starcaster ( Not the vintage one) a $40 POS. Bought a pickup, guard and wiring harness from GFS for $50. Fender Ping tuners from reverb for $35. Worked the frets, adjusted the neck, hard tailed the bridge and gave it a set up and damn it plays and sounds good.
Several years ago, I replaced the tuning keys on a Yamaha Pacifica with staggered locking tuning keys, I believe they were Fender. I wonder no one uses them anymore. They were awesome because that eliminated the need for string trees.
❤beautiful
Well the Glarry is about one shade below my Squire bullet.
As usual nice job.
That is a nice looking guitar, one of the first things I do is add locking tuners.
the only way to tune!
Nicely done , would love to get some cheapo hardware like that loaded pickguard and locking tuners . You have any links to them ? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.
Just another Canadian .
Very educational. One thing I’m not clear on is when you levelled the neck with the bridge and did the shim work. What are you measuring off since the bridge height is adjustable with 2 set screws ? Do you preset the bridge height to a certain height and then sort it out ?
Comment at 30:03: This is the part I've been waiting for more than anything else. You see, the reason I went with a single-coil-sized humbucker in the bridge position was that I really wanted a FULL-SIZED humbucker there, but when I shopped for H-S-S pickguards, I found that the holes didn't line up well. I only considered items with measurements made available and ignored everything else. I failed to find a direct drop-in pickguard, so I decided to get as close as I could with the original plastic. That's why the single-coil-sized humbucker. I have a Behringer guitar that might well have been made in the same factory, or at least to the same specs, as the Glarry, pickguard and all, however, so finding out that some holes line up well and others can be drilled in (and not degrade the appearance of the instrument) is a welcome revelation to me! I might use it for the Behrie, or simply use it on the Glarry and transplant the Glarry pickguard onto the Behrie. Just so you know, the Behringer is a direct Strat clone like the Glarry. Three single-coil slots, 5-way switch, 1 volume and 2 tones, etc. I am considering turning one of these axes into a version of John Oates' modified Strat -- you know, the one with 2 covered humbuckers. If I do, I'll consider using a pair of bare-coil Alnico Vs I've got lying around. (Love that money already spent thing!😎)
One thing I will mention is that so far, I will have spent around the same money as you on your Glarry. No new pickguard and only one new pickup so far, and the humbucker I put in has already surprised me favorably. The new bridge was less than $30, the pickup around $18, I found the roller string trees (money already spent!), so all I have to buy are the tuners. If I DON'T go for a new pickguard for this axe, I'll have spent around $75 on the axe, totalling about $125. More than your score, admittedly, but better for me overall, done according to my philosophies, garnering me new experience. Oh, I forgot the $10 or so for the new wiring, so the total's more like $135, but that still isn't bad.
One thing you may or may not know is that the Glarry stock bridge has a steel base plate. Saddles and block are nonmagnetic, so are most likely zinc, but the baseplate gives you a place to start if you want to mod the bridge. I think you'd be better off just buying a new bridge outright, but I'm considering changing out the Wilkie's steel saddles for brass -- some of which I already have -- and the same thing might give good results on the stock bridge. I will also mention a possible problem with the placement of the stock bridge. I think that the actual scale length of my Glarry is a bit short, because I've had to screw the low E string's adjustment screw all the way down to get it close to right. I modded the bridge with short intonation adjustment screws to get it that good; I think that boosts the price up to about $140 or so. Okay, that brings us up to Squier territory. The Squier would still need upgrades in my opinion, and I like 12-inch radius fretboards. A Squier would likely give me a 9.5-inch radius, which is acceptable, but why settle?
My price tag will likely keep rising for a while, since I like slightly more exotic wiring than most Strats and superStrats will give me; neck and bridge pickups together, anyone? Once again though, this is tuition with benefits. If I do it correctly, the axe should total around $200 all told, with fast superStrat switching to help me go from Tele-like neck/bridge pickup blending to lead-worthy bridge-pickup-only sounds. It will take a while, but I think the results will be worth the wait and the cost. In the meantime, thank you once more for all the information I've picked up from you today! Thank you yet again for the reactions to my comments!😎❤️️🎸‼️
Final comment: End of the vid! I won't say that, even after I'm done, my guitar will be the equal of yours. I don't have your level of experience, and my execution will likely not be at the same level. The experience thing, though, is a work in progress as it is for everyone else. The test will be if the axe is inspiring. It's already done a bit of that, so that's good so far. More, I've learned a lot from this video, so I thank you again for all that I've taken from it. Many of the things you did are echoed in my own efforts. Some decisions I made differ from your own, but retain validity. Where we don't match, I just say that the decisions I made were made for a guitar that I don't intend to sell, so those decisions need to satisfy one person: Me! I'm not done with this guitar by any means, but I think that my efforts will pay off in the long run as they have in the short. If that happens, then I will have succeeded unconditionally. As for Adam, I'm sure he's over the moon with that Glarry. Good luck and good guitars to us all! Happy Holidays, everyone!🎅🎅🎄🎁🎉🎊🎇🎆🎩 😎❤️️🎸‼️
I have a bc rich warlock bronze series from 01 and it's pretty nasty. Also the cool one is an old washburn G-IV that I couldn't find parts for so I filled the trem cavity with a block and dropped a badass bridge on and it could use some serious TLC.
Hey, Sean, I think there's good reason to tape the fretboard. Doing so gives the tape's adhesive a chance to take all that crud you're scraping off with it -- no scraping. Every time I've taped the fretboard, it wound up so stripped that there was no choice but to moisturize it. Why scrape when you can just SNATCH the crud off!?⁉
NICE! Custom STRAT!
Great video buddy should do guests and work on their guitars when when they come in
Could be more videos in the future
Scared that’s cool
That was a great tutorial/demo of working that up into a player. Like the idea of the roller string trees, for sure. Those Wilkinson pups sound good (even through a computer speaker). Cheers!
Btw can I substitute flux core mig welder wire for solder? I have done it before, but is it right? I wired my old Ford race car. They legislated me out because I had a 73 pickup motor bored out to 4.155 and a steel dump truck crank lightened to 38 lbs and 3.78 for a 410 cubes are right rules didn’t say nothing about how I got there . A stock 410 was 4.05 bore and3.98 stroke , rod aftermarket Big block Chevy 2.2 journals 6.7 long, Pontiac pistons with the 2nd ring s left out for almost no friction. weee doggie, most motors take 40 lbs of torque to turn. mine took 12. I also used 65 Galaxie heads with V grooves 11:1 cr. We had to run pump gas. I also replaced the valve guides from 3/8 to 6mn and 2.19 intake and 1.6 exhaust. I tried to pedal it, but it made 575 hp and 600 ft lbs against cars with 425 h hp. Got tore down and they went nuts. I had it all laying around and none of it violated the rules . You come to race on a dirt track and it’s not in the book. They banned the 360/390/410/428 FE engine family. You had to run a Windsor 351 in a Ford. I don’t roll that way. Anyhow is the flux core mig wire OK in a guitar? I have 3-4 rolls of it. I stuck that engine in a 65 F250 4x4 and that was really fun! I had to sell it when I suffered a head injury and lost 85% of my sight and lost my license. I miss hot rodding, street racing and dirt track racing.
Hey Sean (hope that spelling is correct ?) , 58 years old and just starting to learn guitar , FINALLY. I picked up one of the Firefly thinlines (like the tele look) , and been messin' with it . I was just wondering your opinion on them , or if you've done a video on them yet , and if so , any improvements you may have made to it / them ,,, Thanks , Dan
A few links on the tools used would be really helpful. For example where did you get the crowing file? Love your videos man!!!

Comment at 19:33: My fretboard looked REALLY dry out of the box. I did not try scraping my board as you did, because I didn't see a problem with junk on the board. I did expect to need to treat the board, since my previous experiences with fret jobs has shown that painter's tape strips off a lot of whatever surface coating the board might have. If my board did have a coating on it, the painter's tape I used more than likely took it off without my noticing -- a score for me. I followed up the fret job with my usual process, which was treating the board with cold-pressed linseed oil, per the recommendation of Dan Erlewine in his book, "How To Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great!" Not the same method you used, but since new-looking wood for the fretboard was our common goal, I think we both score here! I might mention that I got the linseed oil at a Blick's art supply store and probably paid a premium price for it, but I've had that same bottle for at least ten years, and I've barely used anything out of it. That one bottle will last me until I can't work on fretboards anymore, so that's not too bad. After this much time, I consider using that bottle's contents as using money already spent. That increases the value a great deal! Thank you very much for the idea of scraping the board with a razor when necessary. I probably wouldn't have thought of that. Another score for you!😎❤️️🎸‼️
thanks for watching bro!
My son just bought one of these. It’s not bad out of the box but he’s wanting to upgrade it.
They make great guitars for that very purpose. Thanks for stopping in!
Nicest $100 guitar I've seen.
i love that alnico 5 sound. i wonder what she is worth now... probably at Smithsonian or something
I really enjoy your content - New subscriber!
Welcome aboard!

@@scarmyguitar You kicked me out.
Second comment at 17:06 in the vid: My Glarry's frets were probably no worse than yours -- may have been considerably better(!) -- but I opted to do a full fret job anyway. I don't use a fret rocker that well yet, and I wanted the experience. Still, I wish ( a little) that I'd tried it your way. Probably would have saved a good deal of time ... but I did get the experience I wanted, so no worries! Of course, I've now learned from your example. Score here, too! I notice that you didn't try tapping your frets down, either. Either both of us were dumb and wrong, or smart and right. Naturally, our mileage WILL vary!😄 😎❤️️🎸‼️
first, finally not busy!
awesome! #notification squad!!
ide have ben tempted to put a heat gun to the finish ive had good luck removing the thick finish off these types leaving the died portion intact from their i can spray it down with nitro lacquer usually amber then clear thick enuf to wet sand and polish,or slap it on thick if i want it to finish check over time or on demand with the hot cold trick. nitro has a feel to it that surprises people wen its on a 50-60$ husk lol
A straight steal from Davie 504 with the swing
Can you link to the parts you used to upgrade this puppy?
Love you channel and content we gotta be brothers from another mother hahahha
Same Dad could be more realistic on my side LOL Bwahaha
Does a bone nut make a lot of difference in the tone? I know that's a big persnickety thing with a lot of folks
The cigarette! Lmao!!!
Yes Those strings are best
I would have hit all the frets with a plastic hammer,be for I checked for level.sometimes the frets just aren't seated.
The number 2 position produced the perfect country tone for chicken pickin. Installing the locking tuners and roller trees was ideal. I dont understand why every guitar maker that uses string trees doesnt use the roller because the vintage style Fender ones just cause major problems staying in tune. Better yet---- a simple solution is just to angle the headstock. Great video.👍
New dewalt Nice!
I'm getting a strong sense of deja vu on this video. 😊 But I don't mind. Any kind of Scar my Guitar porn is good in my book.
I’m probably not using my eyes right but I was looking for the links for the guitar and parts
Sorry that's an old video and the links don't work anymore so I took them down
Put some lead fishing weights in that paulownia wood guitar. it barely weight 5 pounds. They sent me a P bass to review. you should contact them, show them this. You'll get an honest review for freebie offer for sure.

Ya buy a new neck for 40 bucks,With New CTS potts,and tone caps,with gavitt wire,that ya got,in Stock,cause your Awesome like That!To Have the Supplys,nah!Nuff,said!Take care,nah!
#1 That's not a Glarry, they don't make them in sunset red. I just got a Glarry burning fire in black and I love it ,out of the box it was playable but I had to fix the crooked volume knob.Only thing negative is the tight input jack.I love the neck on this guitar it's a lot of fun to play comfortable neck.
My question is : is it still worth to by a 800-1200$ guitar if you can get one for about 100$ that sounds so great ?
Man that's a matter of opinion. I also work on a lot of guitars for people that don't. I've seen many many 100/200 dollar guitars that after a little work plays feels and sounds awesome. There's no one that could pick a cheap guitar from an expensive one by sound other than got lucky. To me firefly makes the best guitars in the 200 n under range of any company. They are well made with good wood. Decent parts. And the finish is insane for what you pay
@@chucklee347I 💯 percent agree. L
I bought a cheap car robelli guitar at the flea market and it turns out the Math on the frets was incorrect. That's what scares me about cheap no name guitars.
You always use Strats but rarely use the trem
What a beautiful girl an amazing martan
Be honest here, did that one dude spend 25 minutes on his hair before he did that demo? He did didn’t he?
you better believe it!!
Hey man, tell us about Donner guitars, I'm tempted to buy two, what do you know about them?
I have an artist. It's same As the donner but different name Australian model instead I guess.
I had to clean up the fret end that was it. Adjust the neck I put a Wilkinson pop in arm trem floated it.
Took the pick guard with the Wilkinson in it that sounded great but not the t sound I was after.
I had two gfs single coils and a p90 rail Duncan and a pearloid pick gaurd a couple. Push pull pots and many tones it plays better than any fender strat I have ever played or owned.
The neck is perfect just had sharp fret edges.
I paid 80 for it used spent 25 bux. Already had the other parts.
It's one ofy main 4 now.
Along side a 75 dollar sg400 neck thru epi I paid 75 for.
Never use power drill for small tuner screws and pickguard screws
Why? Please enlighten me, as you see it worked fine. You're gonna say it strips screw heads and blah blah blah. But predrilled the holes is the answer to that.
Fingerboard needs oil, to seal your scraping with a razor blade.
