VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound is beautiful, then again I am a beginner, I have plenty of friends who have been playing guitar for YEARS and told me to buy this guitar because of its price and quality. Well it is cheap and probably one of the best Acoustic guitars that you can buy for beginning. The sound in my opinion isn't warm or too vibrant, it seems a bit default compared to other guitars, but like i said, its a beginners guitar, use this guitar to learn your notes and how to play, and if you choose to stick with it like my friend who has for several years, you can still make it sound incredible. Then again its not ONLY the guitar, its the player, and the players inspiration to master the chords. All in all, get this guitar. It's well worth it Quality: Extremely high quality for the price. And it does go well with tours haha Manufacturer Support: No problems with the guitar, didn't have to deal with them yet. The Wow Factor: Like i said its a cheap guitar, the quality is high. But seriously, this is a "pretty" guitar. But it's not the "Rico Suave" of guitars. Personally I like the guitar look as it is, its simple, it sounds great, why do you need a flashy guitar? Overall: With enough care i give to it, and as sturdy as it looks ( i dont expect to drop it to review if it broke or not), I would eventually move on to another guitar, Like i stated before, the sound is default, when i get to know my chords more, im looking for a warmer sound, of course im not going to sell this guitar but one day when i have a kid, it would be a great learning guitar for him/her as well to pass down.

Back to Product Information
Overall: As a novice who is just beginning to learn what makes a proper sounding guitar, I would suggest spending a few more dollars. Starting out on a less expensive guitar might seem like a good idea, but once you've spent the money to have it set-up correctly, you still have only a satisfactory guitar. In my case, I purchased a Ibanez SGT120 Sage Series Acoustic and was disappointed. As I became more knowledgeable, I learned the neck had been set too low, which resulted in buzzing at the saddle. I spent $65.00 to have the guitar set-up to the point it doesn't buzz, but now the strings are slightly higher than desirable. You get what you pay for, and for ~$200.00, you shouldn't expect a student grade guitar. In my case I wish I'd made the plunge up-front and purchased a higher quality series. It's hard to explain to the wife why I need 2 + guitars!

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. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

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.
