Sound: A beautiful, rich tone to it. Absolutely amazing for the price. I've played guitars twice the price, but I prefer this. Feature: Nice finishing, tuners are easy enough to move but sturdy enough to stay put for a long time. Ease of Use: This is great for beginners and experienced players. It was basically my first real guitar, and I'm still so pleased with it. My brother and father are guitarists also, they love to play it too. Quality: Gorgeous finishing, one of the nicest guitars you can get for it's price. I've had it for over a year and a half and I've had no problems at all. Value: I bought this after a LOT of research. In the end, it was a great decision, and when I buy my next guitar, I'd be happy to buy from the same company. Manufacturer Support: I have not needed support for this product. The Wow Factor: It's amazing to look at and play. Overall: I'm keeping this forever, and I'm not currently looking for another guitar. But this feels better and better to play every time I pick it up.

Sound: I play with alot of fellow musicians with high doolar equipment and this guitar is always passed around. I put on a set of Gibson Masterbuilt 11-50's and the sound can match the quality of any other guitar under the $1,500 mark. I personally have 8 other guitars and I play this one every night while the others collect dust. Feature: The tuners are solid. I can tune it, play for two weeks nightly and check it and it's still perfectly in tune. It has a solid spruce top, Mohogany back and sides. No complaints at all! Ease of Use: The playability of this guitar is wonderful. Good spacing, frets are easy on the fingers. The action is nice and low and even all the way down the fretboard right out of the box. Quality: With care I think this guitar can last a lifetime. The quality for the buck is unbelievable. Value: Worth triple what they sell this for. Honestly! Manufacturer Support: I haven't had any need what so ever to contact the company after 6 months of hard use. But the Takamine name is very well respected in the guitar circle. The Wow Factor: The finish is flawless, enlays perfect and the gold tunners really set this guitar off. Simply beautiful! Sometimes to much is just too much this guitar is perfect the way it comes. Overall: I think I've said it all already. I bought this guitar without playing or hearing it, which I ussually wouldn't do but having experience with Takamine before I took the chance. If you are unsure, DON'T BE it's a great instruement. I feel certain that you will be very happy with this purchase no matter what your skill level.

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.

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.
