Sound: This guitar sounds great!!!! I own 3 Fender bass guitars, and have owned a Fender acoustic, as well as a Carvin Acoustic. This guitar is far and away the best sounding of all of them. It's easy to play, the action on it is wonderful, and the sound is amazing! It has great sustain, and tone. The only downfall to this guitar is the same with most acoustic bass guitars, you cannot get a lot of sound out of them unplugged. However, plugged in, the sound is second to none!!! Feature: I love the fact that this guitar as individual level controls for each string. It does away with having one string that is hotter than the others. Ease of Use: Really easy to use. The extra features (the level controls) are pretty self explanatory. This guitar sounded wonderful right out of the box. I put a set of Elixer Acoustic strings on it (only because they are easier on my fingers), and tuned it right up, not intonation problems, or no adjustments needed Quality: The finish on this guitar is BEAUTIFUL!!! The picture does not do it justice. It's is a deep cherry color that the finish looks about 10 ft. deep on... just really rich and beautiful The back of the guitar, has a lot of grain it, and is just simply beautiful. The fit of this guitar is great also, unlike other acoustics, it's not as deep, so it's an easy reach to get to everything on it. So far I am 100% happy with it, and plan on using it as my main road axe. I will always have a backup with me, but, feel like this could hold up to the road well.

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!

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.
