Sound: The tone on this baby is great! I am a beginner but she sounds great! Feature: No real accessories...none needed. Ease of Use: I have no trouble getting great sound out of this guitar. It holds its tune well and sounds great plugged or unplugged. Quality: The construction looks top-notch! The finish is beautiful. I have the wine red and it is as much a display item as a great guitar! Value: I think this guitar was a steal!! I could not be happier with it. Manufacturer Support: I have had many email questions back and forth with ZZounds while in the process of picking a guitar, they answer fast and are very helpful!! The Wow Factor: She is beautiful and sexy. The wine red finish is hot and classy! Overall: This will be my acoustic for a long time! It is built solid, beautiful, and with great tone. I couldn't ask for more.

Sound: I love the sound of this guitar. I give it a 9 only because I am not usually an acoustic player and have limited experience with them. I do know what I like though and I like this, but I'll leave room for a 10. I have used this record directly into my digital recorder and it sounds amazing. I live this thing. Feature: I has a built-tuner; that's good. Low/mid/high tone controls and a gain control. Perfect for me. Sure, there are acoustic-electric guitars that come with a lot more sliders, knobs, and buttons, but I figure that if you need that much crap on an acoustic that it is just a selling ploy. We all like gadgets. Ease of Use: Sounds great plugged and unplugged. Easy to zero in on a great sound with the tone sliders. Good action on the neck right out of the box. Quality: It seems very well made. Action is great and the tuners hold tune great. Tuner is spot on. Beautiful finish (I have the sunburst). The pickup sounds great. Value: I can not imagine a better value for my money. No regrets at all. Manufacturer Support: Never had to try and contact Takamine. The Wow Factor: Be cool like me. Get it. Overall: I would absolutely get another if I was silly enough to sell this one, or unlucky enough to have this stolen or run over by a car. I dislike nothing about this guitar. For the price I paid, I could not be happier with the product that I received.

Sound: Great resonance; solid guitar. When I pulled it out of the box, it felt so much heavier and more solid then the past guitars I have owned...which is a good thing. Feature: On board tuner is great. I haven't plugged it in yet (owned it over a year), but I just ordered a Tak acoustic to take on road Ease of Use: Because of the weight and construction, this guitar is amazing. I have owned so many guitars in the past...this one is the best built guitar I have ever owned. Quality: As noted throughout comments above, I am extremely impressed with how SOLID it feels. Value: Best value by far Manufacturer Support: Never used The Wow Factor: I don't know that the looks will wow anyone, but the sound and playability will certainly wow the guitarist and those listening Overall: I play almost daily at health care facilities and I play a very eclectic song list, so I require a strong, versatile guitar. This is THE BEST I have ever owned. Seriously.

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.
