Members LOCO5150 Posted April 2, 2006 Members Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hey guys- I don't post here very often, but do check these threads pretty frequently. Anyway...so I've been checking out Strats for the last 9 months or so and haven't come across one that really is what I'm looking for...at least one under $1100. So yesterday I was shopping and found a Nashville Telecaster...the one with three pickups. Plugged it in and it blew me away. I liked the Tele body and I think the three pickups in there really give you a lot of tonal options. The list price is $549.99...I've seen them on americanmusical.com for $519. I'm just wondering if anybody has purchased one of these recently and what the final price was. I'm thinking about walking in there tomorrow with $425 in cash and $75 in gift certificates and trying to get a deal. What do you guys think?

Members BlackHatHunter Posted April 2, 2006 Members Share Posted April 2, 2006 Used to own one. Really cool little guitar. I sold it to buy anotehr one w/ the Fishman bridge in, but never did. One thing I personally didn't care for: the freats were too tall for my liking. Great quality for the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LOCO5150 Posted April 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 2, 2006 What did you pay for it? Thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Splendor Posted April 2, 2006 Members Share Posted April 2, 2006 I bought this one a few weeks ago at my local Guitar Center for just under $400. I'd highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted April 2, 2006 Members Share Posted April 2, 2006 I got this one:(still need to get a better pic since a shadow messed this one up a bit)from Music123 for $472 at the very beginning of the year. They were running a 10% off all Fenders deal + I was able to get in just before the price increase that hit the models right before the beginning of the year. They charge $35 more for the brownburst model, so if it were a solid color the price would have been about $440.This particular model also has an ash body. Not all of them do.

Members The Bear Posted April 2, 2006 Members Share Posted April 2, 2006 I have one and love it. Got mine for $450.00 from a friend at GC. Get it, you'll love it. It's a very versitile guitar. The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to buy it for that price. I would've regretted it forever if I hadn't. But even for retail price it's a great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guitars list for $549 now....to get one for $400 would be asking for more than a 25% discount. Is that reasonable for this instrument? I was thinking about $500+tax, am I too high?

Members DenverDave Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 I bought my Nashville Tele for $450.00 - but it had a very small chip off the edge and they discounted it for that. I think $500.00 is a reasonable offer for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 3 weeks ago. I got a great deal though. $500 is a good price. It's worth it IMO. I love the neck on mine & the pickups are fantastic.

Frets99 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Basically, the price new is what it is. It's a hell of a guitar. I think you have the right idea trying to get them down to $500 as I haven't seen them new for less than 520 - 560. Maybe start at $450 - 475 since you have the certificates and cash. See if their willing to work with you. But even if you can get it for the $500. It's a great guitar and worth it. I got a used one on a special of the week for $375. That was too good a deal to pass up. It's a sweet player and sounds amazing. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GSH Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 $429 before taxes is all you should pay for a Nashville anymore than that is too much. Great guitars them Nashvilles...they are lighter than the MW and the new 06 upgrade Teles...the Tex Mex pups {censored}ing rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LOCO5150 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 I don't mean to be a pain in the ass, but where do you get $429 from? Just curious, that's all. I'll probably go in there tonight and try to make a deal on this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably go in there tonight and try to make a deal on this thing. $429 is what I paid at GC for my new Nashville. I hate to say it but it depends on the stroke sales rep or manager who is dealing with you. Just tell the sales person $429 and that guitar is mine:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHatHunter Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 $429 for that guitar is a ridiculously good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
