Back to Product Information
Sound: I'll put it this way, i bought this from amazon and they ended up sending the wrong color, i was extremely bummed out, but i decided to plug it in anyways, patching guitar rig onto this thing and i almost started weeping it was so beautiful. I instantly forgot it was the wrong color and claimed it as my 1st in line guitar Feature: I really like the push/pull feature, its good for clean, chordy stuff. It adds a bit a variety to your tone. As for the hardware very nice.(gold hardware)Only problem is the grover tuners take a little getting used to for grover tuner newbies. I snapped to strings. But i was able to replace the strings quickly amd easily.The tuners are overall solid though, stays in tune through the roughest of my solos. Ease of Use: I got a sound i loved out of this thing in about 2 minutes, but this thing keeps showing things i didnt know it could do every time i play it. Awesome action, very low, and very smooth. Quality: Near perfect. the top of my head has a small crack in it, only noticeable if you really look at it though. so still gonna give it a 10 Value: It worth every dollar I spent on it. Manufacturer Support: like i said i bought it from amazon so i cant speak for zzsounds, but i complained and they refunded me 20% of what i spent. thats 150$ i can use on other things. So the wrong color was definitely worth it. The Wow Factor: Its very eye catching , the gold sparkles in the light beautifully, and the black enhances that sparkle with a glossy sheen. Overall: This thing is gonna see a lot of use in the studio this coming summer, Havent gigged with it yet, but it's not to heavy and has great tone and stays in to tune so i'm sure ill be doing plenty of gigging with this.

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!

4. We make returns super easy

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.
