Sound: The Neck Pickup Volume Control did not work so I worked it a few time and I guess it cleaned off and started working. Like the sound of the Mini Humbuckers, sharp biting sound.. Feature: Comes with a Certificate in a Hard Card Folder, Poster, Nut Wrench, Epiphone Bumper Sticker, Very Nice Dark Grey Case with Epiphone Logo and the Guitar. For the price I feel this is well worth it. Even though it is collector grade I plan on using. I had a 1962 Epiphone Crestwood Custom and this is really close to what the original is. The Tail Piece “E” Logo is raised, the original was flush. I could see this getting caught and come off in the future. Also on the Tail Piece the Tremolo has a Spring and the original didn’t. This could be a good revision as on the original the sheer pin is all that would hold and it used to break all the time. Last on the Tail Piece the Original did not have a Screw to hold down the tail piece but after the last pin break the tech drilled a hole in mine and put the screw in. This helped prevent further breaks Ease of Use: My main guitars are Gibson LP's but this is fun to play, brings back great memories. Plays great just how I remember the original. The neck is wide and flat, feels good in my hands. Weight is only around 6 pounds. Very light compared to today’s guitars like the Les Pauls. Feels like you’re playing a SG. Quality: I went through the guitar and the Quality was Excellent. Not a blemished anywhere. The finish was perfect.. Value: I was surprised on the cost. The Wilshire cost so much more...Glad this was at a cost most can afford..A great value. Manufacturer Support: As I mentioned above, An Epiphone was my first Electric Guitar, In fact it was a 1962 Crestwood Custom just like this reissue. The only problem I had was with the Tremolo Arm. Other than that the guitar was well made and will last a lifetime. Just wish I still had.. The Wow Factor: Looking at this guitar for the first time when I received, brought back a flood of great memories from my days playing in the 60's.. Overall: Super value, happy to own and a pleasure to play.

Overall: I thank you so much. I had the Wilshire (same year) that I got from Henry at the old Manny's on 48th St. in '63. Always dreamed, hoped, and looked for something close. You passed it with this guitar. I don't know how it was possible to make this great a guitar and sell it so reasonably. Thanks again!!

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.
