zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "AWESOME GEAR, TOTAL SATISFACTION."

Sound: Not sure how I can describe the actual sound quality fairly of my guitar or amp, I can say this though I know with out a doubt that Fender guitars and amps are on the top of the line along with a few other great guitars and amps. the items I purchased, sound great to me. Pure Fender quality. Feature: I can set the tones I like and prefer on my guitar, the amp is a bit more complicated as it has built in back tracking and Loop drivers which at this time I am not too familiar with. But they do sound great also. Ease of Use: Very easy to use and a lot of settings to select from, Yes there will be a learning curve for me, not so much for the instruments. Quality: Like I said before my personnel opinion Pure Fender Quality Value: I rate this product a 9 on "worthy" of selling price as I know that there are other top brands names out on the marker just as worthy, But I can rate this product or any other a 10 if they will just come and give it to me at no price Lol !! Manufacturer Support: Have not had any problems with my guitar or equipment. Have not had to contact any one at Fender or the company where I purchased my gear. Dont feel I will have too?? The Wow Factor: I like Fender guitars, I rate them as I play them. I am looking forward to buying Fender again. Overall: I plan on having and playing this gear as long as possible with total satisfaction. When I am ready for my next guitar or amp I will not hesitate to look in to the Fender line first.

Style of Music: rock, blues,

Squier Strat HSS Pack Customer Review

Sound: this is my first guitar, but i got a new epiphone les paul. i really like this guitar for jamming at home or at band practice. it comes with a amp which i think is awesome, and a strap and a cable. the amp blew a fuse or something and broke, so i got a new one. the cable broke on me 2 months later. Feature: it comes with the guitar,strap,cord,and amp. the amp has lots of fx and comes with its built in drum machine which i like to solo with alot. Ease of Use: its easy to use, but to get your tone just right and with no feedback or extra noise its hard. Quality: guitar is decent after i switched the pickups, and got new strings. The cable is just a piece of crap, but the amp is radical. Manufacturer Support: i had to use it before since my amp broke and my cable did to, and they were fine with it. Overall: its pretty good for starters, but its pretty noisey guitar and cable. id get a epiphone or ibanez over this for starting anyday. i got it for christmas for my parents, so.

Style of Music: anything for opeth to jimi hendrix, and johnny cash to kiss.

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!
