Have any of you heard about any good Black Friday sales at GC, MF, or Best Buy Instruments?
Last month MF had a 20% sale , and I saved like $64.00 on the stuff I bought.
I'm looking for discounts like the above. Getting a cheap mic or some other lame crap with a purchase of a Squier is not what I'm looking for.

Traditionally most large retailers have a few items at ridiculous prices, and a lot of stuff at good prices. Stores generally open as early as 5am and a lot of people make a whole day out of it. |

Probably not true anymore.
The busiest shopping day has shifted in the last few years to the last Saturday prior to Christmas.
This year fewer retailers were caught with their pants down with stock (unlike last year), so I would expect the vast quantity of deals to be fewer and less % markdown than last year.

Jeff | Jeff, no offense, but I hope you're wrong. LOL! I've been eyeing a Jaguar for months!
