Members drawdeep Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Did you contact Customer Service to find out if this was the tremolo version or non-trem version?The first rule of Hot Deals: NEVER, I repeat, NEVER EVER CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE!I have an order confirmation with the right model number. That is all I need Worst case scenario, they send me the wrong thing and I send it back at their expense and get a refund. Best case, I get a new AFS75T for less than I paid for mine USED (which was a heck of a deal in its own right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Totoro Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Did you contact Customer Service to find out if this was the tremolo version or non-trem version? According to the pictures: $200 = no tremolo $400 = tremolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members golias Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 WTF does that mean? It means that MF is very clumsy with their inventory listings sometimes. If you are in the market for a hollow with a wiggle-stick, I agree that this is one to take advantage of. I assure you the blue-burst is GORGEOUS. Even if you end up spending $100 on new pickups, you're still talking about a stellar deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, in simpler terms: If this guitar is at all appealing to you, buy it now and ask questions later. This is HOT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Doctor Morbius Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 On that Ibanez, note that the product numbers are different. The $200 one has a prod. # of 528025. The regular priced one has a prod. # of 519452. Also, note that one of them is listed as an Ibanez AFS75T and the other is listed as an Ibanez Artcore AFS75T. I doubt anyone will receive the one with the vintage tremolo for $200 but it's worth a shot if you can return it on their dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JimiPage Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Nonetheless, I jumped using the $20.00 off code posted earlier in the thread. I had my best customer over the other day admiring mine and I am sure she will want to get this from me. what is the $20 off code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drawdeep Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 what is the $20 off code? THNX- $20 off $100+. The code has to be entered in the box at the end of the process, not in the first promo code box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fusion1 Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Not really. The Musicians Gear cases are always around that price and they do not include a free $20 stand. Gator is an established brand name in cases, while Musicians Gear is the house brand of GC and its subsidiaries. So value wise the camo case is a much better deal. The Musician's Gear is a hardshell case, the Gator one is a glorified gigbag. Completely apples and oranges here. That stand is basically a generic tubular stand, nothing special there either. Not sure who on earth would pay the retail price of $20 for the stand when suitable "A" frame stands are better and cost about $10-$15 normally.

Members dcindc Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 It comes down to value. The Gator case is never cheap. I'd take the Gator case over a wood hardshell anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jamdogg Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 The MF HSLPC's suck IMHO. YMMV, but I doubt it. I just couldn't live with the digital cammo or I would have grabbed one. I already have more cases than guitars as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashtray Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 I have a few of the Musicians Gear tweed cases. They're listed as $50 - less 15% with the coupon I guess. That said, I picked mine up 2 years ago for $40 less 10% off, so for $36 for the tweed ones, they were worth it. But they're just ok cases - and I've read that the black ones (which are a completely different case) are not very good. Just FYI. The tweed ones I got are a bit large, and the guitar has a lot of wiggle room when you carry it. I don't like to hear my guitar bang around inside the case when I'm walking around with it. Also, the neck holder is too tall - which makes the guitar's back not sit flush with the case, causing undue stress to the neck joint of the guitar. Haven't gotten the camo Gator ones yet - but their design for the interior looks nicer. We'll see how it compares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I had about this time last year - I could not recommend that case to anyone. Almost everything is better with tweed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neck holder is over a foot long and at the right height for Fender type gits. They could be pink for all I care at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 K I think I'll hold off for more cases/gigbags until MF does the Elite series gig bags for $9.99 or $14.95 plus whatever promo code will be valid at that time. I have 10 of them and they are my favorite gigbag. Even prefer it to the $90 Parker Fly gigbag that is just ridiculously padded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drawdeep Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 For those interested in my AFS75T order, I did get an order acknowledgement and money has come out of Paypal, so they plan on sending me something... And I neglected to say... Thanks TOTORO for the deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
