SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The highs ring. The lows resound. I bought this guitar after sending back my Takamine EAN10C. I didn't like the fat neck or the cedar top on the Tak. To me this Yamaha has a better sound. I also like it better than the Taylor 110e and the Martin DCX1e. I could have bought either one. I fingerpick and the neck is very playable. The only thing I would like is probable a slightly wider neck but you can go up and down the neck very comfortably. I only gave it a 9 because I do want a higher end Martin one of these days. Feature: The built in tuner is great. The 9 volt battery is easily changed. It has it's own slide out tray. I like that part better than the Epiphone Masterbilt I was looking at. It has a plastic piece that you slide out first to get to the battery. I was afraid I would loose it and have trouble replacing it. I like the solid Sitka Spruce top. Again a 9. Ease of Use: Unplugged it sounds great. Plugged into my Ultrasound Amp it is awesome. 9 here also. I'm still looking for the perfect guitar for me but this comes close. Quality: I bought the blem and I feel the guitar is made well. I checked out the Youtube videos of the Yamaha plant in China before my purchase and was impressed. The guitar came to me clean. No sawdust or any foreign matter in the sound hole. The wiring looks professional. There are no hanging or loose wires or connections. The battery was good that came with the guitar. I believe it is a good quality instrument that I will enjoy for years to come. It seems like someone did a great setup on it. The strings are low with no buzz. Value: I believe this Yamaha is a real bargain with its Solid Spruce top and laminated Rosewood back and sides. Manufacturer Support: I haven't dealt with the company. The Wow Factor: The mother of pearl trim is really pretty. Overall the guitar looks sleek. It seems well designed. Overall: I think I will keep this one. I would like to upgrade in a few years but until then I will be very happy with my purchase. I am not going to send this one back.

Sound: ok....looked at this one. also looked at a takamine for an extra 100 bux...got the yamaha, it is definitely a fine player, however Im thinking ?I like the Takamine G serices better (EG531) and tomorrow I'm exchanging it for the taka, it was just sooo much nicer. Yamaha is very good, but you get a lot more than 100 bux worth of good feel playability, etc. I would have got it but they only had black. Turns out that is thr only color out there- and I've warmed to the black and im getting it tomorrow. the playability on the taka is amazing. right up there with the taylors and martins. Feature: good tone control on the yama and it is worth every cent. I can gig it at any show. But the taka....better tone control and it even sounds BETTER plugged in. I'm a' gonna make some great recordings with the takamine... Ease of Use: cant go wrong with this yamaha

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. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

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.
