Overall: This guitar brings together all the things I wanted in a guitar. The neck feels great, its a 61' SG Junior neck on a 67' SG Standard body. It needs a better cut nut, but thats all. The humbuckers sound fantastic. The lyre works for vibrato and will stay in tune if the nut is cut properly, I'm using teflon tape on it right now to keep it in tune. For the guy that doesn't know how to put it in the case without the trem arm breaking, you turn it "up" until its resting on the top of the tailpiece.

Sound: Plugged in or not, I'm truly enjoying the sound of this guitar. I've mostly owned strats and Ibanez and not to diss those guitars but this sweet lady has tone! Feature: This guitar comes with a Gibson hardcase that has the softest white, plush lining. Its designed to snugly hold the guitar so it doesnt move around. You have to push down on the guitar a bit to get into the case properly. No scuff marks! Ease of Use: Lets see. take out of beautiful case , plugged in . e chord . yep its a Gibson. way easy and smooth Quality: What can I say. its beautiful! The only thing is that the tremelo arm squeaks. Wait, I'll break it in! Value: In one word YES, its worth every penney I paid for it and if I dont give myself a heart attack from playing too long it will probably increase in value!!!!! Manufacturer Support: No reason so far to call customer support. The Wow Factor: The antique cherry is much more attractive than the pictures show! Its so glossy I feel like a fish chaing a lure! Overall: As I mentioned earlier, Ive been playing an Ibanez s470 for a lot of years now, sow Im very used to their killer tremelo system that the maestro doesnt match. But it does stay in tune and the overall fit of this SG makes the Ibanez fell like a toy. I especially like the access to the higher frets and the overall feel of the neck. Small hands!

Sound: not overly impressed with this guitar or the sound honestly. maybe with lots of distortion it may sound good but I find it a bit thin when playing clean. not much in the low end, lacking a good bassy sound. Feature: coil tap or phase switch or whatever.. yeah, it sounds good when both pickups are on but buzzes like hell! the Maestro vibrato isn't that great, goes out of tune all the time and the plastic end on the arm is already breaking from being pushed down when in the case.. great idea Gibson! Ease of Use: I have had issues with the frets, being a player of Fender and Mosrite's I found the medium jumbo frets to be quite annoying. Quality: beautiful finish and quality on this guitar! looks great but I'm not impressed with the guitar it's self. Value: save your money in my opinion. it looks great but I bought an Agile 3100 that walks all over this thing. Manufacturer Support: Gibson didn't return any emails about the fact that the guitar didn't come with the Roby Kreiger painted back cover.. I had to contact zzounds who told me Gibson would contact me and send me the right backing plate. still haven't heard from Gibson or received the cover...... The Wow Factor: beautiful guitar but just like beautiful women, it has issues.. Overall: if stolen, I'd buy something else. maybe an SG with p90's for much less.

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.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors.

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.
