Sound: The sound and feel are very nice for a laminate guitar, better than I expected. Feature: I love the backpack, the lightness and the portability. I gave this an 8 because one of the first few times I opened the guitar, I did not notice that the strings tend to slacken above the nut by the headstock. I unfolded the guitar and snapped the G string while on a trip. I see in the electric models they have a velcro strap to hold the strings, it would be helpful to do for the acoustic models as well. I had to gate check the bag (which I had not planned) but it did not fit into the overhead of a very small commuter flight. The guitar came out both times unscathed. Ease of Use: It delivers what it promises. Quality: Very nice for the price range, it is a well made guitar. Value: I've been looking at and comparing travel guitars for a while, Voyage Air seems to be the best I've found. Nice quality and attention to detail. The Wow Factor: It's just cool, and will let you take your music anywhere! Overall: I'm going to hang with this for a while, but I am pleased enough that I expect I will buy a top of the line model down the road. I hate traveling with my good instruments on airplanes. The portability and protection of the backpack eases my mind and still allows me to take a really nice guitar with me while traveling.

Overall: I purchased the VA exclusively as an airline travel instrument. I had seen and played one of their all solid wood guitars a year earlier and was intrigued by the concept and how competitive the product was in terms of playability and portability. When the VAOM-02 arrived, I was struck by two things: First, it is a very nice instrument for the money and sounded way better than I had thought it would for an all laminate instrument. The finish, tone/volume and playability were better than I had expected. Second, it was apparent straight out of the box that it was not going to fit as a carry on on any of the ERJ/CRJ or smaller regional jets. It probably wouldn't fit on many of the larger equipment either. The backpack is simply no where close to the FAA's and most airlines' carry on size -- despite what the manufacturer claims in their ads. After corresponding a couple of times with zZounds, I somewhat reluctantly returned the guitar. It simply did not meet my needs for a durable and reliable carry on guitar that I could take in lieu of my check-through Hoffee encased instruments (baggage fees being what they are these days). Voyage Air has a great concept, they just need to shrink their products a bit. In the end too, zZounds was great to work with and I'll gladly do business with them in the future.

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.

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.
