Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I was extremely apprehensive about buying an acoustic guitar online but with zZounds 45 day return policy how could I go wrong. The guitar was just as described and more. The J-45 has amazing all around tone and the neck is perfect. Right out of the case it was set up perfectly. High five to the Gibson guys and the folks at zZounds. This is my 5th major purchase from zZounds and every time has been a great experience from ordering all the way to receiving.
