Overall: I've owned this guitar for about a month. I expected a little better for the money. The P90 pickups are great! Good sound that is expected from them. Overall good feel. Light weight and the neck is smooth and has the Tele feel. MY GRIPE... I've been playing 43 years building and setting up my own guitars. I thought I would add this one to my collection because of the price and because I didn't own a thinline. THE NECK: I have adjusted the truss rod and even shimmed the neck and still cannot get the strings lowered to my comfort zone without fret buzz. They are way over the 4/64 standards and still buzz on the top. As stated, maybe ok for a beginner but I would not recommend for professional pickers. Made in China will be a BIG turnoff for me from now on.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall: Let me begin by saying that I think this guitar is beautiful. Unfortunately I am a little disappointed with the quality. I know that I should expect to get what I paid for, but there were some glaring errors on this one. The string tree completely missed my G string so a new set of string trees had to be put on at my expense (no big deal, but hey...). I notice what seems to be more than P-90 buzz in the electronics that seems to be a grounding issue. My jack was about ready to fall out when it arrived. The BIG kicker for me (and yes, it was my fault for jumping in headfirst), I installed a new super distortion P-90 pickup and push-pull pot, then took it to a trusted tech to get a setup and my neck is slightly twisted, making lighter action nearly impossible. Zzounds has been great, but Fender... c'mon dudes!!! I would return, or at least exchange it, but at this point removing the pickup and new pot seems like too much trouble, and a new setup would put me just too far into a $450 guitar... really bummed!!!

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.
