Has anyone ever bought anything from Sweetwater?
I'm planning on getting a strat from them when I get enough chang, so I was wondering if they're good or not, what condition does stuff arrive in, etc.

Sweetwater is great. Can't say enough good things about them. The first thing I would recommend doing is ordering over the phone. The sales staff really knows their stuff and you can always ask what kind of price breaks they can offer. I have never had a product that they haven't been able to cut the price down on. For guitars I know they do a 50 somthing point checkup so they come minted out ready to play. For gear I have never had problems. Everything comes packaged well.

Yeah Sweetwater rocks. Call them and ask about floor models...they offer great prices on gear that was used as floor demos. They check out the gear to make sure it works perfectly then sell to you at a nice reduced price. I got a nice Korg synth for almost $300 the retail price.

That's good to hear, since so many online shops are so bad nowadays.
I can order from a German retailer, but it'll still be cheaper to buy from the States even with the 21% import tax.

I also hear good things about Wildwood in that they also do a complete set-up before shipping any guitar...

The Wildwood guys are great. They take good care of their customers. I spent years in Colorado and spent a lot of time wandering around their store.

I believe they're also one of the dealers that get the selected dealer CS guitars.
