This is the guitar I've been looking for. I bought it used though. But it plays perfectly. No buzz at all. I use a boss katana mk2 head, which has an acoustic guitar setting. And this guitar sounds great acoustic and electric. Perfect if you need both sounds in one song. It has just a slight hint of a weird sound as an electric. But barely noticeable. I have a fender acoustasonic and was disappointed by the electric sound. This is way better!

I just received guitar number 2. The acoustic output pot is very flimsy and not properly tightened. My issue with these guitars is zero output from the Piezo. I of course replaced the battery on both. I’m very disappointed that 2 in a row have the same problem. Unfortunately I’d advise avoiding this guitar.

"Good and bad"

The guitar itself is great. Good- Fit and finish are excellent. Plays well, frets are nice, finish and looks are amazing. Bad- Fret buzz on high E upper frets. Battery for Fishman pickup is dead. Hunbuckers are nice but very mellow- don’t be fooled by the videos, you will need a pedal to get growl out of these. Running through the Orange Micro Terror and there is no bark at all from these. And the Orange gets a nasty tone when you max it out. Worse- zZounds is supposedly known for customer service but nit this time I guess. When I contacted them about the battery and feet buzz, they said the expectation is everyone will take it to a luthier for a set up. Maybe if I was adjusting something or wanted it set differently. I just wanted to be able to play it out of the box and can’t because of the buzz issue. I guess $850 doesn’t buy you much anymore. Not at all happy with zZounds. I hate to rate this low because if it all worked this would be an amazing guitar. Didn’t happen in this instance though.
