Zack McCord
It was about 10 years ago that I first picked up a guitar and realized that playing music was something that I would love for the rest of my life. Throughout high school I pursued guitar playing and began recording to hear my progress as I went. After a few years of recording guitars I wanted to do more.
I attended Western Michigan University for Multimedia Arts Technology and earned a Bachelor of Science in audio engineering. I had the opportunity to work in a commercial studio on campus and really refine my craft. I've also performed guitar, drums, bass, and vocals on others' records. During my stay at Western I recorded and self-produced my own record which explored genres anywhere from folk to metal.
I am honored to be a part of the Sweetwater team and help customers achieve their musical endeavors.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

My recent guitar purchase from Sweetwater was the best experience I have ever had with an online order. I rate my Sales Engineer Zack McCord as better than excellent. He was extremely informative and kept me totally informed as to the progress of my order. As far as doing anything to improve my experience, I can’t think of a thing. Thank you for the outstanding service.
