Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I ordered this hoping it was as good as most of the reviews. When it got here I put the bridge on an had to tighten a couple things. I then took it to a professional and he set it up for me. Once he tuned it he started playing it. Man this thing sounds great. He played it for a half hour and said he was very impressed with the total package including the bold sound. It looks great and sounds great. Excellent value for the money. Now for Zzounds. I have only on a few occasions delt with a company that looks out for the little guy as good as Zzounds. Great customer service techs. I give them 2thumbs up.
