Members kulardenu Posted September 11, 2009 Members Share Posted September 11, 2009 That's a great deal. Has the extra Tube Tamer and tube guard already installed. I've been waiting for one of these to spring-up on my local CL. I've been passing on all the C30's that come up for sale while I wait for one of these. Wish there was an 8-15 watt model of these!

Members brianeharmonjr Posted September 11, 2009 Members Share Posted September 11, 2009 given the fact that you can buy a made in china strat for $80, made in mexico probably throws in another $20 extra cost. Take off $10 diff for shipping, and Fender still probably makes $400 on a $500 guitar. That is flawless logic, {censored} for brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labor cost isn't much more than that.But you don't look at your car as the $500 in metal and plastic etc. it cost the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The metal plastic leather engine wheels tires and all the mechanical workings and electronics, as well as the work that goes into it by hand, add up to much much more than $500.00 depending on the car.

Members Totoro Posted September 13, 2009 Members Share Posted September 13, 2009 You're not buying from Fender, you're buying from MF. Fender made their money when MF bought the guitars from them. It is possible that Fender is offering some kind of incentive to MF for this promotion, like a car maker offers to car dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xStonr Posted September 13, 2009 Members Share Posted September 13, 2009 It's possible. Dealers will get coop dollars for advertising. Some companies offer retailers rebate monies if they buy x dollar amount of merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cbh5150 Posted September 13, 2009 Members Share Posted September 13, 2009 FWIW, the Joliet, IL GC has a NOS '06 Les Paul Standard Premium Plus for ~$1700. I had never really noticed it before; apparently, it had been hanging "in the rafters" where no one else really noticed it before, either. Picked it up and could see no problems; may be a good deal for one of my HCEG comrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SkippyX Posted September 13, 2009 Members Share Posted September 13, 2009 I was pawn shopping/guitar store shopping Saturday afternoon and ran across a few good deals. I dunno if anyone is interested or not. I know that if I had the money I'd have been on these like white on rice.The GC on the North Freeway (just south of 1960) has a Peavey Classic 50 4x10 for $350. It's ugly. Tolex is torn in a few places. The grill is sort of nasty lookin' - but for $350 it looks like a pretty good deal.There's a pawn shop on Veteran's Memorial just south of the beltway that has a Peavey Delta Blues 2X10 for $380. I got there just before closing time, so I didn't have a chance to look too closely - but it looked OK from the brief scan I gave it.I also saw a Guild F65CE (including a HSC) at a pawnshop on Veteran's Memorial (east side of the road, less than 2 miles south of 1960) for $500. The tag on the inside of the body said "Westerly, RI". Arched back. Lam sides & back, solid spruce top. Fishman electronics. I did fiddle w/ this one for a bit - this is a seriously nice acoustic. Slim minijumbo body. Over in the reviews it's got a 9.7 rating w/ 13 reviews. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect to have issues out of the box...action will probably be WAY too high, truss rod will need to be adjusted, etc. Assuming you get one that isn't inherently defective and unfixable, once you get it properly set up you will have a very nice instrument for the money.

Members KwadGuy Posted September 14, 2009 Members Share Posted September 14, 2009 Gone already. I assume someone here bought it. I guess it's worth $10 plus whatever shipping they're charging. But don't feel too bad if you missed it. I got a couple of them from Kohl's for about $25/ea shipped after Xmas (for gifts) and...well, let's just say these things can't hold a candle to something like those Gretsch Americana guitars... I also found that even the girls that like to watch Hannah Montana don't really want a Hannah Montana guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrankenTelly Posted September 14, 2009 Members Share Posted September 14, 2009 Somebody please snag this one before I do!SF Bay Area craigslist ad:Fender Duo Sonic - early 90's - $200 (concord / pleasant hill / martinez)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date: 2009-09-02, 12:13AM PDTReply to: sale-vtj4t-1354463822@craigslist.org--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have a red Fender Duo Sonic, maple neck, made in Mexico, and it is an electric guitar. It was made in the early 90's (1992 i think, but not sure) and is in near mint condition. It has two single-coil pick-ups, with a three-way toggle switch, and the scale is actually shorter than you standard electric guitar (20 frets). This particular Fender model is now discontinued, which makes it a rare find, and it's even lighter in weight than your typical Fender electric. A new soft case will be included as well. ......ehhh, $200 is about right for one of those things. Those older MIM Duo Sonic's have a very short 22.5 inch scale, not the less short 24 inch scale that the Duo Sonic's that Fender is making now. Even 24 inches is still a bit too short!
