Honestly, that is pathetic.

I was going to buy a guitar from them this weekend if they had a decent deal, but this offer is an insult for Labor Day.

They can keep their gear.

The catalog I received today from guitar center had a 15% off coupon ($299 minimum, maximum $500 discount) inside the front cover. Some major exclusions, but lots not excluded.

Most things you will want to buy will give you this message:

"In order to take advantage of this promotion, your order must contain at least one eligible product. "

Call them. They more than likely will give you the 15% discount over the phone. I got the same message and I called them. I got myself a PreSonus Studiolive 24.4.2 mixer for $2200!!! AHHHHHHH!!! I can't wait for it to get here!

Dudes, that exclusions list is bogus, but it is required for advertisements. I went into a Guitar Center one day and wanted to buy a MusicMan at the advertised 15% off everything (other than these brands.....) and of course MusicMan, Fender, Gibson were excluded. But the manager said there really were no exclusions when you go in, EVERYTHING was at 15% (or whatever current discount) whenever you see a sale like that, but certain brands cannot be advertised as being a % off. It is totally up to the store and they can do whatever the heck they want. If you call up on the phone you can get varying answers, but that is usually because some of these new employees just don't know, or remember, or just don't care. Ask for the manager or whoever and I bet in most cases when calling on the phone or going into a store, you are most likely to see NO exclusions. At least that was the case at GC in person AND at MF when I have called. If people are lazy and ONLY buy online through a website without picking up the phone, they you are losing out on some great deals.

Only problem with GC is you may pay state sales tax on Net orders as they have stores in so many states. Takes significant % off the "sale" items. Better strategy is have Music 123 or MF match or even do better than the GC deal so as not to pay sales tax. They're all the same store anyway so it's a big game.

In case people didn't notice, the MF 15% off is for items over $700. Between $300 and $700 you get 10%, and below $300 you get 5%.

The GC 15% is for anything over $300. So yeah, best bet is to make them match prices on each other.

they had 20% off all October I remember getting an acoustic b200h head and b410 cab for 295$ shipped used it for a bit and sold it to a friend for the exact price I paid.\, those were pretty good deals and how I got stuff cheap was all last October it was 20% off and you could apply it towards used gear in any condition, i have yet to see a sale that matched that by MF since.

They may be trigger-shy after the "multiple coupon incident".

True, I am guilty of partaking in that.
