Yes 123 is a reliable music store on the .net. I usually buy from Samash , music123, musiciansfriends and guitar center. Depending on what is in stock and the price etc. I can't plug one without the others. My fav. is Samash, since I live in fla and they ship fedx within a day or so. I say for any of these stores, call them up with your questions and do your homework. The prices are usually close but customer service can vary. .......good luck

It is my understanding that M123 was bought by Musicians Friend a couple of years back. At that time I had a M123 Card and an MF Card. The M123 Card became useless(no longer used by M123 since they changed to MF's bankers). Also at that time a "warehouse" consolidation took place IIRC.
M123 still sometimes has different items and pricing than MF though.

Yeah, MF owns Music 123 (and thus actually owned by parent company Guitar Center). In my experiences though, I've found Music 123 customer service to be friendlier than GC's.
However, my favorite online music store by far is Sweetwater.com. Every salesman I've talked with has either been quite knowledgeable or directed me to someone who is. They'll even let you haggle with them on certain items.

Something Borderline Offensive
Yes. Have purchased through them. As stated above they're owned by the same parent company that owns guitar center and musician's friend.
I've personally found the customer service to be lacking at Music123, but they tend to have competitive coupons, and as a result they get my money even though I'd prefer to give it to someone more deserving.

I tried to buy something from them many years ago, before they were acquired by GC, and their customer service was so bad I had to decide between suicide and bowling. Since the acquisition, I have to assume they're in the same league as MF and GC, both of whom have treated me right.
I bought quite bit of stuff from them a few years back shipped here to England, and was totally happy with all aspects - good folks to deal with in my experience.
Bought my current head from then when they sold "dent-n-scratch" - the only problem with the amp was it came in a dented box - like new, serious discount!
