Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
When you first open the case, this Desert Sand color scheme shines like sunlight from within, and that's just the start. The heft and fit is perfect, and is a joy just to hold. Then, just plug it in and let 'er rip! The controls are firm and accurate, no slop, and the tailpiece is responsive to the slightest touch. Then, when you catch your breath, check out the detail of craftsmanship in this piece, from the body paint finish to the tuning pegs, to the pick guard and frets, then look down the strings and look at that action. All this is finished off with the commemorative 60th anniversary plaque at the neck connection, and the medallion on the back, and this quitar is beautiful. zZounds had this in my hands in 3 days, their service is excellent and this won't be my last purchase! Thanks to Fender and zZounds.
