Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (12 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "great guitar"
Sound: The EMG's sound great whether you are playing clean or distorted. They are bright, punchy, and responsive. Feature: no accessories, However, the pickup swith in nicely placed. The inlays look much better in person than they do online. I was a little worried about those at first but they grown on me. The arch top is very well done. Ease of Use: The only learning curve you may face is if you are coming from a 6 string to this. I moved from a 7 string so it only took a couple of hours to get used to the 8th string. The action was pretty typical if you are used to Ibanez or Jacksons you will find the action is very similar. The neck is cut more like a Jacksons so if you are used to the wizard II necks on ibanez that may take a small period of adjustment. Quality: the guitar is rock solid. it feels like a boulder on my shoulder. it's finish was impeccable. far far beyond what i had expected for this price range. the guitar does not go out of tune. you can gig with it leave it in the case for a couple of days and when you get it back out to practice it is still in tune. the sustain lasts FOREVER even unplugged or on a small practice amp. there is no bad aspect of quality at all. Value: i've owned guitars that cost 3 even 4 times more than this cost and it is the only guitar that i have owned that out of the box required no custom setup. it played and sounded the way i wanted it too. it outplays every guitar i have ever owned. Manufacturer Support: i did use support to register the warranty rather than send in the card. they were very quick to respond and very polite and helpful. The Wow Factor: it's appearance is beyond reproach...it is impeccable. I have the crimson red finish and the quilted maple looks outstanding. the finish is perfect. Overall: this one wont be replaced. i will be adding more of these

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!

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.

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.
