I just heard a radio spot for a sale this weekend - buy certain items and get a corresponding item free. The examples they gave were buy 4 sets D'addario strings get 4 free, and get this: buy a guitar $399 and up and get an amp free. Anyone else heard this or know the details? I couldn't find anything on their web site ...

That's why I am suspicious about the amp deal ... like maybe it has to be one of their Ravens ...

Don't believe what you hear. There's always a catch with those thieving bastards at GC.

That's a bit harsh. But - for sure - that "free amp" is not any amp of your choice. It will be a very specific one (or two) for this "promotion". Maybe it is a Fendar or a Marsholl amp ... haha

I have found that these sales are just a gimmick to get you into the store. I've seen advertisements with "prices too low to print" and they are the same prices they were a week or month ago. The strings are a good deal...if you play with that brand. I do on my ESP. Of course they may be a specific set of strings that you do not use, like 0.12's or something. Go in and see if they have a deal for you. Ask to see the deals, they could be good or just a joke.

I won't go unless I need something. While I am there I check out the deals (always looking for my next guitar). Tis the season.

I was there yesterday, and actually it's 349 and up not 399, I didn't ask because I forgot. Even though they had signs on guitars and stuff, it just went over my head. Anyways if you don't find info it might be because it isn't valid everywhere.

Thanks - I couldn't remember if they had said $349 or $399 - but that makes sense as its the lower price point for a decent Fender.

What got my interest is that I'm looking for an amp. If I could go buy a guitar for $500 - $1000 and get a $500 - $1000 amp "for free" (like a Fender Blues :) ), I'd go do it and then turn around and sell the guitar for maybe a $100-$200 loss. That works out to quite a deal for a new amp. It all depends on what amps they're offering ...

They do say 100% free. If a person spends more then they would probably get more. I can't imagine what a person would get with the purchase of an American Deluxe, besides a great guitar. I doubt they would match it with another guitar, but I'll check tomorrow.

The radio add specifically said buy a guitar, get the amp free.

I was in there today buying a drum kit for my son. Yep with a gutiar purchase of over 399 you get a free amp. They wouldn't tell me what amp it was though (fairly stupid but what are you gonna do)
