Members 67mike Posted July 16, 2012 Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 Long story: On the deals thread someone posted that black Highway One Teles were available again from M123.... So, I went into my account online on M123 and popped one into my cart.....shipping says 7/25/12. Anyway, I call M123 and start talking to a sales guy in guitars as I was going to try and get the 13% off that MF has currently...BUT, sales dude says the guitar is discontinued and doesn't know why they are available online???? I told him I would just put the purchase thru online and see. Sure enough order cofirmed..then backorder notice. In the meantime I find a KILLER deal on a local G&L guitar...... So, I call a CS rep at M123 to try and find out for sure if these teles are actually gonna ship on 7/25/12.....no one there can tell me....I asked if they could contact someone in purchasing to check it out.....no dice...I got an earful on how the guy talking to me has worked there a long time, over 5 years, and there is no way to find out. Wow, what a {censored}ty company if that is true... I mean even a two-bit dime store has purchase orders which tell them what they have on order????? Anyone here know what I can expect? Or if I should contact someone specific? I really want the highway one, but do not want to pass up the G&L if the H1 isn't gonna HAPPEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wagdog Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah, it's a good deal. Hey man, if THAT'S the guitar you want, then grab it. My experience is though, there are always gonna be good deals down the road. You just have to wait 'em out and have cash for when they happen.

Members noisebloom Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 I would have let the Music123 order ride while getting the G&L anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 67mike Posted July 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 I would have let the Music123 order ride while getting the G&L anyway. Still haven't cancelled it.........got busy at work....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Still haven't cancelled it.........got busy at work....... Good, just let it go and see what happens with it. Chances are it will wash out anyway, but you just don't want to miss out if the Highway One does come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BushmasterM4 Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Im a Fender guy, own several. And I came across a G&L Jerry Cantrel Tribute at a fantastic price (new) at $280. The store was going out of business. Anyway, I usually stick to USA made guitars, but I was really surprised at the quality of this guitar !!! So a couple weeks ago I jumped on one of the new G&L Fiorano's that everyone says looks like {censored}. Let me tell you, after setting it up to my taiste, this is a smoking guitar at any price. I've been happy with the G&L imports, may need to keep my eyes peeled on a USA G&L. My vote is if the G&L is still around, grab it. You can always buy a Fender at a later time.

Members Redsand187 Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Call fender directly and ask. They will be able to figure out what's going on. I ran into a similar issue with Gibson and Sweetwater. The sales guys don't really know what's going on when it comes to incoming and stock on order. You'd have to find an acutal buyer at M123. But the guys at Fender should be able to pull M123 account and see what is scheduled to ship to them, and the ETAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flintc Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Aren't Music123 and MF owned by the same company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BushmasterM4 Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 I deal with Sweetwater 90% of the time. They will beat the others price and you get a 2 year extended warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar thing happen several years ago. A Musicians Friend supervisor read my posts online and PM'd me to get order information and fixed the problem. He wanted to remain anonymous as a forum member though. Thank you Lone Ranger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
