how do you ''drive'' them down? :?


If at a "Big" guitar store, start with the fact that any guitar on the wall or sales floor, at least to me, has been "used". To me, they are like "demo" cars. There have been people you just had wings for lunch, the guy with a cold, or the person with no respect for anything, playing these instruments. Now the guitar has coodies! Don't act like you gotta have a new guitar today. Look over the guitar for dings, scratches, and what-not. Point these out to the salesperson and straight up ask for a discount. If they don't budge, walk. Why should you pay full price for a "used" item when you can pay the same for a brand-new-in the-cardboard-box-never-been-touched-by-anyone-since-it-left-the-factory guitar from an internet site. It also helps to have a good rapport with the salespeople at your local stores. You get a fantastic deal, throw the guy a twenty, he will remember that next time. And watch for the sales(e-mails, mailings, advetisments) that the big stores have. You can get great deals on some stuff then. Do your research and know what exactly comes with the guitar ie. HSC or gigbag, cord, strap, tools, etc. I have seen salespeople try and give a $20 gigbag with a $1200 bass instead of a HSC when in fact the bass comes with a HSC because the customer did not know. Also ask for free stuff like strings, cords, straps, tools, anything.
