Sound: Sounds amazing and in my opinion it sounds better than most $1,000 Taylors and Martins. A little bit of buzz but some elixers fix that. Awesome high and low end with the high end not overpowering the low end. Feature: I wish it came with a pickup but other than that everything fits and everything comes together perfectly to create one sick guitar for the price. Ease of Use: Very VERY easy to play. Easy to tune and maintains its tune for weeks. Neck is very smooth and frets are spaced perfectly. Great for beginners or advanced players. Quality: Has no blemishes what so ever and seems pretty durable so far. I try to take excellent care of all my guitars so it hasnt been dropped or anything yet, but it seems well built and very sturdy. Value: EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT guitar for the price! I was a little hesitant that it was as good as the reviews claimed it was but I bought it anyway and I was beyond surprised at how amazing this guitar is! I would have expected to pay well over $500 for a guitar like this but I got it for $299. Superb buy! Manufacturer Support: I have not had to contact Takamine for anything yet and based on the guitar I dont think I will ever have to. The Wow Factor: Looks amazing. The finish on this guitar is perfect! It is not to dark, but not to bright and the gold tuners look sexy! Not a very flashy guitar but when you look at it you cant take your eyes off it. The cutaway looks perfect on this guitar as well. All the little details come together perfectly. Overall: I do not plan on buying another acoustic guitar for quite sometime after this buy. I could not ask for anymore than what this guitar has. Everything about it is perfect and I honestly don't want to buy another acoustic guitar because it is going to be virtually impossible to get any better than this guitar.

Sound: This guitar sounds amazing! My reasoning behind purchasing it was first the great reviews that everyone gave it and second that I owned a cheaper Takamine years ago and it sounded great for a $150 guitar. This guitar does not disappoint. My fellow musician friend comment on how great it sounds every time I start playing. For the price I highly recommend buying this beauty. It's nothing flashy in the looks department but it still a great looking guitar. The action is nice. Neck is nice. Cutaway is great. Haven't run into any string buzzing problems yet either. GREAT GUITAR- BUY IT! Feature: No accessories included. Ease of Use: Being an electric player it's still a bit tough to fret full chords quickly but with a little practice it will be nothing. Quality: For the price this one goes to 11! Manufacturer Support: No problems as of yet.

Sound: I love this guitar. My friends, who own Taylors, MArtins, ect...LOVE to play my guitar. They love the sound. The only problem is they tend to have fret buzzes when first bought, but a good set up with take care of that. Stick with extra light or medium strings Feature: My Takamine didnt come with anything, but I wish it came with pickups...sadly, it doesnt Ease of Use: It is easy for this guitar to reach its highest potential. Its great with specific tunings and capos. Quality: I love this guitar. It is gorgeous and well made. Value: i payed 200.00 for mine(with a deal. a friend of mine works at Guitar Center) I would willingly pay more Manufacturer Support: My guitar got a chip from a very slight drop. It hasnt been fixed, but the people at Takamine were very kind. The Wow Factor: this is the kind of guitar you could hang on the wall and people with turn green with envy over.

Sound: It has a full, rich tone. Bass and timbre are great, especially considering the price. Feature: I wish the fret board inlays were more eye-catching. I also wish this guitar had a pickup, because it sounds so amazing already. Ease of Use: Some fret buzz, but the action is plenty smooth. Seems to hold tune well, as the one I have played at the store (and will be buying this weekend) has been in tune each of the five times I have played it (and it's a floor model)! Quality: It is obvious tht this clean, classy guitar is about quality, so it's OK that it's not fancy. Solid, no defects, everything functions perfectly. Value: Perhaps the best I've seen for the price. A better bargain than my Martin DM. I went looking for a bit cheaper, "beater" guitar and found this gem! Manufacturer Support: Haven't purchased yet, but their web site is informative and easy to navigate. My Tak dealer is very knowledgeable, too. The Wow Factor: Not a dazzling guitar, so people who play to look good probably won't be as into this guitar. But it has a dignified, classy appeal, and once you play it, it's addictive. Overall: Love it and don't see that changing!

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!
