Not sure if anyone cares, but i was on Musicians Friend and they have the price on some Fenders dropped. I was ordering an American Standard Tele and they dropped back down to $999 instead of $1199 for the flat colors, and $1049 for sunburst and whatnot instead of $1249. And looking at the American Strats it's the same deal. You have to click on them and look to see the new prices, but i thought it was worth noting.

I wonder if it's a permanent price drop? That would be nice.

Yeah i got that email from musicians friend this morning.....They did not specify any cretin models though. Probably just making room for new stock for 2010……good time to buy though….

big deal. go buy a gibson its better anyway. your paying for the fender name on a subpar guitar.

I got the mail too, headlined with:

"Price Drops On Fender American Standard Guitars & Basses! Starting At Just $999.99"

Further down, it says "lowest prices on AmStd in years" and "save up to $200"

Nothing in the email says anything about a time limit and nothing in a quick look on the site that has a time limit either. To me, it looks like yet another roll back to beginning of 2009 prices.

That would be nice.
I don't "need" any more guitars--but I wouldn't mind getting a new one for each of the "milestone" birthdays I have left (decades, and if I'm still around and playing--65 as well.)

So if they drop & keep dropping maybe I can get a Strat next time I enter a new decade.
