Most-Loved Electric Guitar: Epiphone Les Paul Special
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"I'm absolutely in love with this instrument. From the moment I removed it from the box I knew I had something special, I mean it was still in tune after 1200 miles on the road. The neck felt perfect, I loved the weight, and the strings rang out just like church bells. Then I plugged it into an early sixties Supro "Super" and had a religious experience -- the tone is to die for and this caused an explosive output of new material to flow effortlessly from my fingertips."
Own it for $499.00 or 8 payments of $62.38!

Most-Loved Pedal: Electro-Harmonix POG2 Polyphonic Octave Generator
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"I love this thing. The POG2 is one of the best sounding pedals I've ever owned. The thick sounds it creates are just beautiful. The versatility is amazing and the possibilities for shaping sound seem endless. The presets feature is great for playing live. I rarely have this pedal off when I play. Amazing."
Own it for $400.00 or 6 payments of $66.67!

Most-Loved Drum Kit: Mapex Armory Studioease Fast Drum Shell Kit
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"Just got this set and I love it. Beautiful ultra marine finish for starters. Hardware is solid, well thought out. Wood shells smooth and flawless. Sonic bearing edges live up to hype: drums tune up effortlessly. Nice deep sound even with stock heads; I'll leave them on for now. Bass drum is a beast played soft or hard. Tomahawk snare is a real surprise: loud and cutting but pretty nice tone. At this price, Mapex Armory is a bargain."
Own it for $969.00 or 12 payments of $80.75!

Most-Loved Bass: Schecter Stiletto Custom
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"I pulled this baby out of the box and fell straight in love from the first ultra twangy acoustic note. A few hours tweaking my Fender Rumble amp (also courtesy of zZounds) and suddenly I had THE sound I had been chasing."

Most-Loved Synthesizer: Moog Subsequent 37
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"The sound is just exquisite. Throaty lows from pristine clean to grinding dirt and everything in between and a presence to every note that is effortless to obtain. Getting a bad sound from it is MUCH harder than finding the seemingly endless good sounds. I have other synths that I love, and I still do, but none of them can do what this one does, and it does it effortlessly."
Own it for $1,899.00 or 18 payments of $105.50!

Most-Loved Microphone: Neumann KMS 105
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"This is a FULL range mic that sounds very glassy! And there's a very unique sparkle around the 10 kHz region that makes me want to drop my pants and make love to it. You just have to hear it to understand."
Own it for $749.00 or 12 payments of $62.42!

Most-Loved Studio Monitor: Yamaha HS8
Our Customer's Love Letter:
"I've never had better translation or have been happier with my sound quality. The only bad thing is listening to old tracks you've done and realizing those need to be fixed too!"
Own it for $398.99 or 8 payments of $49.87!
