Overall: Well I didn't buy this guitar from here but I had to leavea review because this guitar just plain rocks. I couldn't be more happy with it. I have the rosewood back and side edition and I must say the sound is to die for. It sounds really crisp warm and clean unplugged and when you plug it in WOW. Now I'm sure it doesn't sound as good plugged in as say the fishman aura but this thing smokes my infinity matrix pickup I have that is also made by fishman. It doesn't sound tinny or chintzy like all the other Taylor's I tried out before I bought this one. I highly recommend you at lesst try this guitar before you spend 5-600$ more for another higher end one. This thing is all that and more.

Overall: I had 3 Martin Guitars, DC15E, DC1E, and HD16R LSH. They all had different sounds but I loved the sound of HD16R LSH the most. Not until I got my DCPA4 Rosewood. It has a balanced sound with a slightly dominant bass which I loved. I am into warm sounding guitars, but when I tried this I really liked the way it sounded with the combination of warm and crispness of the sound. It's very versatile. You fingerpick/strum it softly, then you get a really warm sound. You rock it, then you get a really crisp sound coming from the bass/trebles. The body was perfect and lightweight. Glossy top is gorgeous. The only thing I wish it had was glossy sides and back just like my HD16. But of course, that might mean paying more. So I will settle with Satin. I tried it plugged in and it's amazing! My band loved it too when they heard it! The controls are so easy to use and very straighforward and not as complicated as I've seen on other guitars. Gotta love the built in tuner too. And lastly, the performance artist's neck profile is the best neck I have tried after playing guitars for 23 years... personally. It's fast, smooth, and if you finger pick a lot, this is so easy to use. The bridge string distance is the key here and the neck profile combined. I am so glad I switched to this guitar and for almost half the price of what I had! Zzounds gave me the best price online and they just didn't match it, they BEAT IT!!! By an amount I coudln’t resist. Got the guitar in 2 days! They have really good service and very flexible payment plans. Overall, I am really happy having this guitar and I hope this helps you a little bit because I know there’s not much reviews about it yet and only 1 youtube video demo posted so far. Goodluck!

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.

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.
