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

Honestly I have had terrible experiences buying guitars from zZounds.Bought a Gibson Les Paul,a USA Fender Tele that were total crap.This guitar cost 2 to 3 times less and out of the box was actually playable has nothing seriously wrong with it.The tuners are sorta garbage,the nut is cut better than either the Fender or Gibson I bought from zZounds were but is plastic would sound better with bone or tusq.The fretwork is not best I've ever seen,but better than most.Shame on the big companies, for $799 Yamaha hit a grand slam and they can't make a $2000 guitar quality.Its really a pretty decent solid guitar.
