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. "Good things don't come cheap, but this did!"
Overall: I bought this guitar after trying out a few Martin guitars a few friends had... Man, was I hooked! Just looking at it makes me smile, and jamming on it, plugged, or unplugged, is a dream. It's such a solid package. Well crafted [well it IS a Martin] great tone, lovely sustain, bright tones on the high end, and that neck lets you FLY.. Really, the list goes on and on... Everybody's said it already, but this guitar is a beauty in its price range. You won't regret the investment!
Style of Music: Country, rock, and of course, BLUES.

"A GREAT GUITAR!!!"
Sound: For a guitar of this price it's great. Very good warm tone and sustain. I like it because it's so light, could play it all night. Ease of Use: very easy to change sounds just use different strings. Quality: It is very roadworthy, I am a bit worried that because the top is so thin it might crack someday (hasn't yet and I've been through a lot of temp changes)but I think thats what gives it its great sound. Everything else is great. The Wow Factor: Its a "martin" and I'm a fender player but I always use it in at least a couple songs at gigs. It gives that warm ballad sound. Overall: The head stock looks bad, dont like that. The frets have warn a bit but thats to be expected. If I lost it, I'd get another martin prob a more expensive one as I have a few more $$ now and they may sound a bit warmer, dont know but would buy another martin for my gear.
Style of Music: rock and country

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.

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.
