There are some major and minor sales by the usual suspects such as MF, Muisc123, Guitar Center, etc. going on. I posted and updated all I know about. But, please feel free to add deals/sales that aren't included yet.

Make sure to carefully specify all terms and conditions, such as codewords, etc. that are needed to take advantage of the sales. Post links if you have them and/or upload coupons, offers and the like if you can. Be sure to post all relevant emails, ads, web sightings, etc. here so they'll all be in one place for all of us to take advantage of.

Happy hunting! And may the sales provide the GAS-relief we all seek.....at least temporarily ;)

OBEY THE PRIME DIRECTIVE: Don't waste bandwidth here with deals/discounts, etc. that are not open to all of us!!
 
Oh, regarding the exclusions (fine print) on the bottom of those Guitar Center mailers? Also on the bottom of the GC link above. They state many brands are excluded from the 15%, 10% off and etc. including Fender, Gibson and many other top brands. A few days ago I went into a local GC and was told that yes, you can buy practically anything, Fender, Gibson, whatever at that 15% off, they are only required to list certain brands as exclusions for technical reasons, due to some kind of marketing clauses, but when you get there, they'll take the % off of practically anything.
 
Good one to start. Holding out for a 20%'er though.......
Absolutely. -20% or they can keep it all for their ugly grandkids.

I don't see paying more now than in the entire month of October, and that discount being good for nearly everything.

Got a 15% 15OFF4U coupon code for subscribing to Music123's newsletter, but it was only for crap brands. In that Music123 is just a zombie Bain proprietary out of MF's phone room, it's very hard to get something cheaper from them than from MF directly.
 
Sam Ash........

Invalid Link Removed

Decent, but nothing truly amazing. Sam Ash typically has a limited selection and lots of out-of-stocks so act fast. Lots of conditions on their sale items as well. Read the small print carefully.
 
Though as of this morning, it looks like MF is going to choke, it will at least match deals, and it appears that the Fender/Squier 10% is stackable at GuitarCenter.Com, which -- with the 15% off any single item coupon -- brings the Fender Jaguar bass to $459 even on Friday only. For that price I'll get one

I don't want to pay sales tax, so I'd rather do that through Musician's Friend, and they're coming out of the same pile at the same warehouse.

I'd much prefer to have done this through AMS (and get the gear the next day), but they don't have them.
