VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound is very impressive. Right out of the box the setup was nice, no buzz and medium action. The EMG's are aggressive, they are active so get ready for some fun. The clean isn't too bad, but the distortion is great. Very easy for pinch harmonics plus unplugged it's got some weight to it so it's fairly nice to play without an amp. Feature: The only thing that came with the guitar were the standard allen wrenches. The pickup switch seemed very durable for an effective sound kill, but wouldn't do it all the time. Tone/ Volume knobs are pretty basic. the only time I play with them is for sound killing ( don't feel like installing a sound kill button) Ease of Use: Very easy to pick up and play, when jamming out, I almost forget that's it's a V and jam my leg. The neck is very smooth and it's molded neck makes it that much easier to reach the "fun" frets, no funny feeling bolts down there. Quality: Very solid, it has a very high gloss finish to the paint to I'd say it's got a lot of coat to take a few dings. Has no rough or sharp frets, the tuners are tight and hold awesome, even switching from standard to Drop D every other song. Also, NO HEAD DIVE!!!!! The way that the strap attaches, it's perfectly balanced. Value: Price wise it's worth it, I've bought more expensive guitars but they have a place on the wall now that I have this. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had a problem yet. The Wow Factor: Just strap it on and it feels great. There is nothing better looking than the best guitar shape in the business. "V" Overall: If anything happens to it, I would get another just like it, I've got no complaints over this guitar, it just feels so perfect.

Sound: its best for metal..i play death metal so its perfect..mahogany body,string thru,emg 81 i mean c'mon.. Feature: i gave it a 3 bc its just a guitar your getting...no strap,case,strings.if i had to pick a special feature i wish it had it would be one of those buttons by the volume controls that kill the sound-but im being a geek now..i still love and cherish the guitar even tho it is foreign made,but who cares... Ease of Use: it doesnt get any easier..plug in a cord and wail... Quality: i would say its well made..its using american parts and assembled in a foriegn country..then it goes thru US inspection..finish is awesome,,jet black glossy..no blemishes was perfect out of the box..can you depend on it? i tuned it down to b and it held for weeks..esp tuners are good enough dont be fooled..mahogany body,string thru body,emg 81's,and set thru which is combination of neck thru and bolt on's..you bassically get the best of both worlds..ITS A BEAST.. Value: i gave it a 9 bc its definitly worth the money but a 10 would be free and you know thats impossible..i want to buy a second one i love it so much..the hard part is finding a case and emailed esp and never heard anything so..the one for the gibson wont work..i tried and had to pay to ship it back.. Manufacturer Support: never had to deal with support.. The Wow Factor: very sexy,death metal all over it..i wouldnt say its a sheer genius of design but its definitly worth using on the road or studio or just jamming...a genius design would be $2000-3000 dollar range Overall: very satisfied i want a few more to be exact..thats how sexy this instrument is..

Sound: Sounds very good. Havent tried it on a cranked amplifier, only on an amplug, but i like it so far. Feature: Comes with emg 81's and independent volume knobs for each pickup, very useful. Ease of Use: Tuners are not so good, but they keep you in the relative area so its not all bad. The neck plays so easy as well, noticed a distinct difference right away from the neck of my ex400, felt much less bulky and lighter. Quality: Feels very good, no sharp edges on the frets, and saw no abnormalities on the finish. Value: For the quality of guitar you get, i think its a very good value. The Wow Factor: It's a flying V, the sexiest shape ever! :D Overall: Of course Im going to be buying other guitars, but i dont think i will ever sell of this one.

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!
