This is the first guitar I've ever ordered online, and my first order from zzounds. It arrived Fedex, on time and un-damaged. Fit and finish was perfect after looking it over thoroughly. Action was acceptable, fretwork was very good.
Sound
Acoustically It has a very flat response with just a little brightness on the highs. Not overly loud or boomy, but doesn't sound cheap like alot of thin-bodied guitars. Perfect for vocal accompaniment. Plugged in this guitar is amazing. Best I've heard in an acoustic electric. You have to hear it to believe it.
Features
Tuning machines hold it in tune, the onboard tuner works really well. The body shape is very comfortable to hold and play. The only thing I'd like to change is that the saddle isn't compensated, and I'd like it to be...
Ease of Use
Very easy to play both plugged in, and acoustically. After slightly dropping the action the guitar is butter.
Quality
Made in Indonesia, but does seem to be made well. Nothing is loose or obviously wrong with it. Seems like it should last as well as any acoustic guitar should.
Value
Good bang for your buck... Would be nice if it came with a gig-bag or case for the price.
Manufacturer Support
Havent needed it.
