Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (6 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "This one is fire"
Sound: It has a really even tone great action. The look is rocknroll. Although the body is smaller it projects great. Plugged in is pretty hot as well. It sounds full and smooth. The only thing its lacking in is the tuners are hard to hit the sweet spot and the on board tuner although handy is sketchy however it works. Feature: The tuner keys and the tuner a little sketchy Ease of Use: It.plays like I paid 500+ for it. The guitar is solid and the body is tight. Mahogany is such a warm toned wood. Quality: Niiiiiiiice Value: I would pit it up against any low end Martin in sound and quality. The looks if you're in to the punk/ rockabilly thing are top notch and the action is nice. I love folky style instruments this one has a pleasing twist. As far as $300 price range is concerned it is the best bang for your buck. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to yet fender really made a great sounding fun to play acoustic...... Can't belive I said that one. The Wow Factor: I get a lot of complements on the inlays as wellbas the dark mahogany body with the light maple neck the contrast is supurb. The set up is slightly better than advertised. It's a fishman preamp and pickup the battery box is actually housed on the bottom with the imput which I love. The tuner reads out what the notes are on a digital display, and the tone and volume controls are knobs as opposed to sliders which I like Overall: This baby will be my main squeeze for years to come.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Everything It Says And MORE!!"
Overall: I actually got a Blimished model for cheaper from Zzounds and strait out of the box was very impressed with the quality and look of this guitar! Even though it is a "thinner" acoustic than normal, the mahogony top, back and sides really make this baby sing. It projects well and sounds amazing plugged into a nice clean amp. The old school look of this thing is the cherry on top. This is truely a beautiful guitar. The maple neck and inlays really make it "pop". If you are looking for a vintage look and great sounding electric-acoustic, this is the one for you. Buy it! you will love it!
Style of Music: Pop/Rock,Alternative, Pop Punk, Blues and even some Country/Red Dirt....this is Oklahoma after all.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
