Don't buy into the hype. The same crap will be for sale tomorrow as today and if they want to move it, it will be just as cheap. It's the same thing as raising the price of refried beans from 69 cents to 89 cents and then acting like they're doing me a favor by putting it "on sale" for 75 cents. Pah..leez.....loser.

Well, I for one took advantage of this day to not pay absurdly jacked up prices for new warrantied gear, especially after just losing my PF500. I got me new rig at a used price.

I used zZounds. They'll do 20%+ discounts with their "netsavings" make an offer phone deal. It almost felt like a normal music shop over the phone...

no offense, but the person who says cyber monday is hype is dumb. Guitar center is having 15%, the prices i see today are the same i saw several days ago. And they are great prices to begin with. i dont see how saving 50 dollars on a 300 dollar amp could be "hype", it pays for shipping and then 30 dollars.

GC

guitar center ALWAYS has some deal or another that will save you around 15%. same thing with Sam Ash. you should never ever EVER buy something from GC or SA without a 15% coupon. from what i can see, they didn't do very much at all for "cyber monday"...

on that note i bought the accoustic 370 head. The only issue is its going to run out of my GARABAGE behringer cab. I guess my birthday is a month after christmas anyways... I'll have to get the a good cab to pair up with my freshly order 370. I guess the price came out to around 320 actually, but that still seems like a steal. im really taking a risk buying something i havent played, but im sure itll turn out fine. If not i got 30 days to return.

i don't think that you'll be sorry that you bought it, especially at for that price. most people that own them, covet them.

I figure that with the de100 for 300 dollars im saving a 100 dollars from new retail, which isnt too great. The accoustic 370 sounds easily resellable, I could even turn a profit if I dont keep it.

The de100 sounds interesting but i have heard VERY little about it online through reviews and its in only 1 youtube video. Have you played one before?
