I've never took much notice of this before in Guitar shops, do they even have them? cos I rarely "window shop" if I don't need owt. I'm constantly getting emails though stating "Gibson Clearance" or "Fender Price bust" or "Free Pedal(that I don't want) when you buy(something else I don't want)" etc.
I bought all my current gear during the summer (2012) and got a half decent discount for the most of it.
Do any of you lot hang on for sales, or is it a con where they just state a reduced price from the massively marked up RRP. Are they the kind of sales where it's just Fender 6 inch patch cables and Ernie Ball straps that are reduced or get a free bag of picks when you buy a 100watt CAE Head, Lol.
So many guitar shops, I'm sure just googling can save someone a few quid buying from seperate outlets etc.
B-)
Only a Fool Would Say That.

All the bigger stores will be outing discontinued gibsons and I'm guessing fender might do another "rebate" deal.
So yeah, keep searching the net.
Even as it is with 20% off you can get a USA stratocaster Deluxe for £800 , add 200 for taxes and its still less than in the uk.
ooh there's a maxon cs9 there for a ton.

That makes the basic SGJ's £349. Not bad, but no where low enough for me to have a baked maple board. If they were normal maple, then yes ! I like the colour, I just don't like Gibson's concept.
If - according- to Gibson, baked maple was such a great thing why is it almost absent from their 2014 line-up now they have Rosewood supplies back in stock ?
Correction, the SGJ has a maple neck with rosewood board.
Granted. But Rosewood is synonymous with Gibson, I'm already hearing is it 'chambered' and does it have a 'baked maple' fingerboard prior to the buyer either walking or asking for a massive reduction. Although it has been said, the baked maple could be the pancake body of the future. 70s LPs seem to be having a revival, so hang on to those BM and Chambered Gibsons, they are tomorrows 'transitional' classics.
Basically I just sign up to the email newsletters of all the music shops I know of. That's not foolproof, because some shops send more emails than others, but yeah.
