VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall: I am shocked that $299.99 has this much to it. First off, know that the Charvel name has a lot of history, being in the 80's Charvel/Jackson were some of the best guitars you could buy. Now it seems they are starting from scratch to get people aboard, and I have to say, they've made me a fan. I received the Flat Black DC-2 a few days ago and I'm floored. The body is very compact and comfortable for a small guy like myself. The NECK! Easily one of the most comfortable fastest neck I've ever played. The stock active pickups might be the best stock pickups I've heard in a long time and will more than make due until I upgrade to EMG's or Blackouts (they are just as high gain but have a very good even tone to them). The locking tuners are solid, the neck thru design is awesome and the guitar (especially for being a China made guitar) is without any cosmetic flaws. Every note plays and rings just fine. The Matte Black paint job is just as smooth as I like it as well, and the archtop body sounds and feels great. I really can't say enough about what Charvel has put into this guitar. I've been playing 20+ years and owned ESP's, Ibanez, etc and this might be the best guitar under $800 I've ever played. Get one while they're low in cost because Charvel is about to get a LOT of good press with these models and I can see the price getting jacked up soon. The single best $300 guitar you will ever buy. PERIOD.

Overall: This guitar plays excellent and the unfinished neck is a part of why I bought this guitar. The paint job is beautiful and shipping was pretty quick. The custom Emgs sound close to 81s they are really hot and clean. I am very impressed with the charvel and the locking tuners also just were an added plus!!

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.
