Need group hug......Passed up the deal of the century

Man....

I just bought a SG Standard 2 weeks ago.

Any way, I was able to wrangle what I think is the best deal of the entire black friday season........New 2013 Les Paul Traditional Burst for $1399 .......

I had the order completed......then I gave it some thought.....I already have a VERY nice Heritage Les Paul with Lollar P90's.....do I need another big bill?????

Called and cancelled the order....just got it prior to shipment.

Now, I am both Happy and Sad.......NEED A HUG GUYS.

Just go pluck around on the Heritage. The sound of those Lollars will make you feel better.

Re: Need group hug......Passed up the deal of the century

Yeah, playing my guitar with lollars tend to make me happy and really quells the GAS pains. When you have that one special guitar already, it just makes it easier to pass a deal that would be just a different flavor of what you already have.

So your prescription is more Lollar!!

That was a good deal, but probably not a great deal. Those will probably be even cheaper after X-mas.
Probably a wise move on your part.

Thanks, yes......and I had thought of putting the heritage up for sale....but Thankfully, my Bro-in-Law talked some sense into me (he owns several new Gibson's) and he pointed out the obvious that the Heritage would be way more guitar than the traditional LP.....so I am keeping the Heritage.

What I may do is save up and when the next round of uber deals appear...I will snap up a LP standard or Traditional just to get a Humbucker LP.

Let's see....2013 Model...$2300 right now everywhere...for 1399 plus GC for $100 and free ship with no tax? Call me stupid, but $1000 off a guitar just released seems pretty good to me?

PS: If you can get me one cheaper...please show me how....I will buy it now.

I get it: you got MF to do the price match and the CSR accidentally gave you the 2013 version. No way I would have cancelled that. No need to sell your Heritage either: flip the hell out it!

Maybe, but you'll cancel it before it ships.

Personally, the 2012 LP Standard in Blue Mist deal is far better for those who got the price match and $450 GC.

Yeah, I agree that's the best deal this week.

My blowout haul was a LP Deluxe GT from zZounds for $1199 and a Trad Mahogany Satin for $1000.

If for some reason it came across as me bragging about the deal....that was not my intention. I made the post as I am kinda bummed that I passed up that deal......my wallet is happy though.

And once again, thanks for the titties, they always cheer me up.
