Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

I don’t normally have too many positive things to say.So hopefully someone at zZounds will take heed and hear me out. I’m one of the few that despise Sweetwater ,but they sell a wide variety of items I enjoy.I had a couple bad experiences buying new guitars online from them and from zZounds as well.I have two Revstars at the moment and had to buy one twice and return one to get to that point.With way some of these companies like Fender and Gibson are I almost dread dreaming of buying new guitars.The anxiety when I finally unbox it and see all the blemishes and imperfections and QC issues,mixed with do I keep it ,or do I send it back. Now I realize it’s not me,I’m not picky ,I just expect to get what I pay for.This Pacifica Standard Plus in metallic blue is absolutely flawless.It needed a little tweaking ,a little fret polish ,some different strings and to be humidified a little as it had quite the travel six days to me in a wide variety of weather.This really is the most perfect guitar I have ever bought online.Not one complaint about the guitar ,I love it!I do have a complaint though about zZounds. The guy that took my order said this was last one they would be selling and the model was being discontinued.Yamaha is not discontinuing this model and Sweetwater ,Guitar Center ,other retailers are gonna continue selling them?I wanted the same model ,same color with a maple board ,but we’re all gone .Glad I got this one,the payment plan is more than appealing ,I’m quite… read more happy.Is just a growing list of items I have bought from zZounds that they no longer sell.It seems everytime I find something I like whether it’s guitar strings,guitar picks ,a particular guitar or amp brand zZounds quits selling it.Is a Charvel I planned on buying that zZounds quit stocking so I got this guitar instead.I love zZounds,I have no love for Sweetwater at all ,I just think zZounds is losing buisness sometimes.This Pacifica model should sell like hotcakes ,I can’t express enough love .Most fun guitar I’ve played in years.
