“Spec'd Out To The Moon & Still Flying Under The Radar” – Darrell Brown G300 Glam Superstrat Review

March 03, 2023

“There's no high-end spec that has been overlooked on this guitar, which is why I think it's one of the most underrated superstrats out there” is the opening statement on which seasoned YouTuber Darrell Braun starts his review of the G300 Glam – the successor of the multi-awarded G300 Pro.

Darrell commences the review by going through all the premium features of the G300 Glam that make it a super reliable and versatile workhorse. He points out the impeccable fretwork that allows easy bending and sliding on the Ebony fretboard slick satin-finished Mahogany neck with its graphite reinforcements.

All the guitar features are designed to make it studio-ready, stable under all conditions, yet an eye-catcher on stage with its Polar Ice Metallic Burst finish. The staggered locking tuners, Luminlay side dots, Graph Tech® black TUSQ nut catch his attention as premium features found on high-end instruments only.

The G300 Glam offers the perfect balance of playability for multiple styles – with its compound radius and V shape neck profile standing in between modern instruments and the round vintage feel of classic models.

The instrument is a step up from its predecessor, offering a Maple cap with a Mahogany Chambered African Mahogany body. Besides adding comfort, the body contributes to the warm mid-range and bright, punchy attack.

Darrell continues going through the Seymor Duncan® SH2N & TB4 Humbucker combination testing the 5-way switch and coil split options with overdriven riffs, chunky grooves, leads high up the neck, ending with crisp clean, beautiful chord voicings.

‘For a superstrat, these pickups are absolutely perfect; like I said, you can just get those screaming tones.'
