Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (15 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "AWESOME FOR THE MONEY"
Sound: it sounds great stock, i added the emg 81/85 set and it made a world of difference. definatley worth uprgrading. this guitar is great for metal and hard rock, nice thin neck for shredding! Feature: it is pretty straight forward, nice tuners and bridge, plays well. the stock electronics are a little cheesy with the mid cut switch but i ripped all that out in favor of a set of emgs. otherwise its great for the money. Ease of Use: easy to get a heavy sound from, as well as nice leads. definatley goes good with a boosted tube amp. Quality: overall fit and finish is very good for this price. my frets were a little rough on the edges, but thats no big deal. the only complaint i have with this guitar is that the factory wiring is very sloppy. i know this because i replaced the pickups and all electronics for emg's. Value: this guitar is a great value, buy this and upgrade the electronics and you have the equivelant of a prestige ibanez for a fraction of the cost. Manufacturer Support: i picked 10 because i havent dealt with them, but i imagine there will be no issues with this guitar, well made! The Wow Factor: the thin neck and the red burst with black hardware is what makes it. Overall: i plan on keeping this thing for a long long while, plays very well, sounds awesome with the emg's. if it were lost, stolen, etc. i would buy another.

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!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
