Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I purchased the aged cherry burst with rosewood fretboard. The guitar is amazing! Played great right out of the box. I use a fender 65 twin and common pedals. The pickups sound amazing and I love to play this guitar in my rock/country band. The guitar itself is beautiful to look at and flawless. It really is an inspiration to play! zZounds was great to deal with on this order as usual.
