Overall: I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. Always electrics. It was time for an acoustic that didn't break the bank. After reading the reviews I chose this as the blem. I have no idea where the blem is or why someone would have returned it. 1st like any low dollar guitar don't expect it to be perfect out of the box. It was playable out of the box but as expected the action was high. Sanding down the bottom of the saddle and slight adustments to the truss rod made it play really nice. Order new strings with the guitar. I broke both enclosed high E strings just tuning up. The strings are that bad, but that is ok. Strings are affordable on this site. Get a set, set up the guitar (lots of good online tutorials on this if you don't know how) or bring it to someone who knows how to set it up. You will not be disappointed! As a bonus for the measly $60 I spent on this guitar I got a basic gig bag and a tuner. Oh yeah, picks and a spare set of not to be ever used strings. To summarize it was ok out of the box. Plenty playable even for bar chords but if you spend an hour or less setting it up and change the strings you will have a guitar you would expect to pay $300 for.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: This guitar was amazing to me. After a couple adjustments (bridge and neck), about 15 min. It played and sounded like a much more expensive guitar. I don't know anyway to improve this guitar. I have several guitars and this is one that intend to keep because of the sound and quality built. Feature: The picks and another set of strings is what you never get with other guitars. A good selling part. Ease of Use: The guitar and sounding of it is very good. It is very playable even for beginners. Quality: It looks beautiful. It seems like it would last forever. Value: It is worth more than I paid for it. Manufacturer Support: I ordered by email--no problem The Wow Factor: I think everyone that ordered this guitar and after receiveing it would be pleased. Overall: Very satisfied and would replace it with the same if it was ever stolen.

Overall: The guitar came in "perfect" condition. I actually took it to a local store and had them look it over. We both looked it over and said he couldn't see any blemish. He tuned it quick and strummed a few chords and it sounded good. I have strummed it and it sounds OK although I am not a guitar player. The only thing I wish since I was told it was a beginner guitar I wish the measurements were included in the description. It looks like a full size guitar or close to it. I also purchased silk/bronze strings since an 8 year old will be learning to play it. All in all it looks like a nice guitar and I am pleased. I just wish the return policy would be a little longer since I did purchase this for a Christmas present and ordered a little early in case there was a problem

Overall: We recently ordered 8 of these for our music (guitar) classes. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of these instruments for the price. As "blems", it was difficult to see why they were labeled as such. Two were delivered broken and zZounds was fantastic with their customer service and sent two replacements.

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!
