  1. So far I'll have to say the Labor Day Sales have been pretty *meh*. :bor: The LABRSAVE seems to work with a lot of brands (but not Gibson) and was stackable with other codes like saveten1 (now expired). Try it with another code if you have one, I got a sweet condition 2 FSR Deluxe RRI for a little under $650 .
  2. LDS @ Fattone Guitars Use coupon code WORKHARD11 for 11% savings on all new stuff through Monday.
  3. LDS @ Tone Factor ‎10% Off this weekend! Coupon Code: LABOR10
  4. Victor Litz LDS List Some people have had good luck with VL, others not so good. It helps if you are local and can go to the store. There is probably only one of these for example: ZVEX BOX OF METAL List $- Sale $99.00
  5. Huh. If they are able to have another run of them built to sell at liquidation prices, that tells me that prices were overly inflated on the Touchpads when they were introduced. You don't make another run to blow them out at liquidation prices if you aren't going to make a profit on them. Who really knows the answer to that question. Just as plausible is that since the product line was written off the corporate P&L sheet, the ROI is no longer an issue and they can sell them for a hefty profit only considering production and distribution costs.
  6. George Jetson, Han Solo didn't like his Goldtop due to the black back. He said he will be selling his for 999 w/shipping. He has a thread on this forum. Crazy in my opinion. Guitar looks awesome! I paid $899 w/shipping, for a no-owner guitar it is an absolute steal at that price. Maybe I'll make an offer he can't refuse....
  7. Okay, realize these are full bore sunlight photos designed to demonstrate the finish is not painted. I didn't enhance them or retouch other than crop them. This is an angle shot that clearly shows the grain through the translucent finish. I suspect they are using an oxblood stain here because it looks a lot like my Oxblood Flying V. Black for all intents and purposes, but deep, deep red under a carbon arc lighting. This one shows what it mostly looks like, but again it is shot in full sunlight bearing down on it from just a few feet away. It looks pretty close to the MF picture I think, so no misrepresentation, no military industrial complex conspiracy theory, just a really dark stain that looks black except under the most extreme lighting conditions. In case anyone is not into the whole dark black saga, a picture the rest of us can enjoy: I love this guitar and I will buy anyone's who isn't satisfied with it once they get it and play it.
  8. Alesis iO iPad Dock $125 at Hello Music after code HM25AUG You can connect you guitar to Amplitube or GarageBand and use a midi controller. It's like buying the iRig and iMidi all-in-one for less money. Plus it looks like it has a boatload of other input and output features.
  9. Last night when I got home I put the DCGT side by side with my JB Studio. It *does* look different and a lot like the picture someone posted here. I held it up to the strongest incandescent light I could find and the finish is not opaque. If you tilt it, you can just barely see the wood grain through the finish on the back. When I get home today I'll take it out into the sunlight and see if I can get a good picture of it.
  10. yea, imagine if someone was dying for a black back and passed. then they lost a sale. i dont think it was a scam or anything. maybe they got a lot of returns on them cause of wrong description Mine was definitely not a return, factory sealed. I personally love the black and gold look, it is exactly what I wanted.
  11. I'm pretty sure I will end up keeping the GT as well, it's at my work, I didn't go in today, so I will check it out tomorrow. I just picked my GT up at work today. It is exactly as shown on the MF website. It says "dark back" on the box, but it is in fact a solid black back and neck. Sort of like a Joe Bonamassa P90 DC LP. Now all I have to do is put black covers on the pickups and mismatch the knobs.
  12. Translation: "I don't want to be bothered with taking care of this for you" I got $100 of yesterday's deal. They can do it if they want to, I guess the challenge is finding someone that wants to... I pretty much have written off the automated M123 price match. Going forward, I will be calling and hanging up until I find the right CSR. I suspect that the emails go to a virtual call center in some far off corner of the world. I was very happy with the human customer service I got yesterday at M123, but maybe I just lucked out.
