Am I the only one seeing a bunch of red Xs?And no obvious mention of deals on thewww.proguitarshop.comsite?Am I doing it wrong?
I see the photos\ads in jhamnett's post if that's what you mean. I guess maybe you are doing it wrong.

Sort of OT but these are sweet deals on the discontinued (OS & Support) HP Touchpad this won't last longFB454UT Smartbuy TouchPad QUALCOMM Snapdragon APQ8060 1.2 GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless 9.7" IPS TFT1GB RAM 16GB$99ALSOHP FB356UT Smart Buy Touch Pad QUALCOMM Snapdragon APQ8060 1.2 GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless 9.7" IPS TFT 1GB RAM 32GB $149
Too funny. The overall Amazon rating of the Touchpad has now plummeted to One Star, due to all the negative reviews from the people who "thought" they bought a hundred dollar touchpad this weekend. -
^I've sent them at least 3 requests for price match through their "beat this price" system and NEVER have gotten a response. I think I once got some Snarkys on that deal real cheap, but I did that on the phone. I sent them an e-mail asking them why they don't respond and they replied back saying "I don't know why"."Response Via Email(Christian) - 08/09/2011 08:24 PMDear Musician,We are terribly sorry that those requests have not gotten answered and we aren't sure why they haven't come to us. However if you would like to have us check one out we would be more than happy to do it if you respond to this email."And of course by that time, the SDOTD are over.
In my experience, and the experience of others who have posted this same message; if you enter any text in the "Comments" field the form fails and you will not get the instant Auto Reply or the follow-up quote. You have to leave that field blank or the form buggers. If you do the form right, you will get an instant auto-reply in your email. That makes it hard (if not impossible) to match a SDOTD through the form, as the discount is added in the cart and not on the item page. The only person I've seen get SDOTD matched is Ssjif, and I am pretty sure he did it by phone. I bet it's a long shot on this Gibby, but hey go for it and report back.

One reviewer writes "it's has a lots of features and comes with a nice case". But it also read "Unless the grover tuners are made for Schecter they are really Schecter locking tuners."Yup Amazon shows the case. Looks pretty nice.Irregardless of the tuners that is looking like a good deal in spite of how ugly it is! Though my kid would probably love it.Ebay listing shoes Schecter tuners but no case.
Called & checked. CSR said no case. He assumed the reviewer that said there was bought when there was a free gift or some other special. Sorry for any confusion.

Yeah, but their ESP Grovers, so I'm assuming it's some kind of offbrand knockoff that Grover put's their name on. Sort of like the EMG that's Axl put in their Badwater series... out of curiosity, which model rockfield did you buy?
I assume we are talking about the ESP LTD M-15. I ordered a black. Has some sharp fret ends. Tuners are cheap ESP branded tuners. Seem to stay in tune ok, but not Grovers as far as I can tell.

Not sure I'd be cool if I got something that craps out after 20 minutes.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't. Here is 4 reviews at MF I don't see anything worrisome. -
Put the 56 in my cart at MF - applied the VIP code and this message came up:"We are committed to your complete satisfaction. If the discount does not show on the item you wish to purchase, please call us at 1-800-643-8449!"Called the number and told them about the message and they honored the VIP code, no questions asked and with no manager approval.Got the NEW 56 w/ case for $274!!
Thanks dude, much appreciated. I did just what you said, used vip100aug, in the cart, got the "call" message. Called the CSR read him the message, then I tried to get him to go an even 10% which would have been $270 (sort of think of it as free picks), but he held t $274.00. No approval required. I didn't need this guitar but I wanted it and was incapable of resisting at that price. Now I have to log off and quit.

What is the VIP Code & how did you get the new guitar and case for $274? Haven't they discontinued the free gift case? That's a great deal. Give us some details please Sasjf.

They sent me a price match link, guess they aren't uniform in the application.... I'm passing though as I have no use for it. Thought about buying it to flip but not worth the hassle to me.
As long as you aren't using the pricematch link you may as well PM Elitist the link. Just my 2 cents.

Oh man, wasted post I guess. I was thinking it was different. Sorry about that guys.

Fusion FWIW I found that if I put anything at all in the Music123 "Comments" line I did not get an auto-acknowledgment or subsequent quote. So I quit putting anything in the "comments" line. Every since I get the auto-acknowledgment and a few hours later a quote.

Gibson RD Standard Electric Guitar Ebony is $1499 at Music123. They did price match a SDOTD for me last week. Worth a try for another 80 OFF.

Thanks - I will try to take some and post later but for now - here are some good pics:http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/RD210.htm
Those will do. So is the case hard plastic or is it more of a tolex?
-
Just got this in and tuned it up, it is a nice guitar, plays well, looks and feels perfect - came with Elixir strings, and the Hardshell case is awesome! IMO a STEAL at this price.
Good deal Sasjf. I am still tempted by that one. Would love to see a pic of the guitar, and particularly the case if your so inclined. Some decent deals floating around lately.

I sure wish we had a working MF 10% code for that LP. 4% Cashback from BillMeLater, 3% from FatWallet. Anyone know a better cashback deal? The MF codes save10 & july11deal go in the cart but don't render a discount (exclusion list I suppose). It' not that I'm greedy, it's that I'm trying to resist, but another 10% off would surely break my will to do so.

If you use Firefox, install the PriceBlink add-on, most of any site's available promo codes will be viewable by clicking on the Coupons button:
After using this for a day or so, I've noticed it does have a few quirks. The "view all prices" option sometimes confuses the item you are trying to buy with accessories, etc. at other sites. I have been unable to get the "Check Price History at Priceblink" to load yet, but maybe it has something to do with my popup settings, as I do use Adblock and Noscript.
But the bottom line is I really like it. This is a must have plugin. Thanks again Cobalt.
