Hi all.

As some may remember I have had some "Issues" with Guitar centers ads in the past.
The word I have been told about these is that while there is a mile long disclaimer, it is only there to let them back out of it if the discount goes to far under there cost, BUT that they try to apply them when ever possible.

OK, I will take them at there word this time, and I just got this one e-mailed to me, in case you'all did not here is a copy of it, it is there labor day salt, 15% off any item over 299.00 up to 500.00 dollars off.




So let say you want a new MIM Strat @ 499.00.
That would be around 75 bucks off.

If you need it, print it out and let me know how it goes.

I got that e-mail also. It looks like Fender is excluded in the fine print. I intend to give it a shot anyway....you can never have too many Teles.

When I get those, everything I may even be close to consider buying isn't part of the sale.

Any time that you see the " * " in the ad, you pretty much know that the sale excludes most brands that you care about. The real sale happens on Thanksgiving weekend, and you usually can get 15% off on black Friday (I did a few years ago on Fender gear).

But it seemed that Digitech was surprisingly not included in the asterisk exclusions for the Labor Day sale. It may be a good time for some of you to grab some effects ... ?

got a 20 % off 199 or more coupom from musicians friend today- same deal. just look at the exclusions- everything i would be interested in buying.

hey guys- wouldn't it be easier to tell us what is included? think of all the printing you would save!

Please everyone.

I get the whole "Exclusion list" thing.
This is why I posted it.

What they have told me on the phone and in e-mails with there customer service is that while there is this list, it is there so if the discount takes it below there cost they can decline to give the discount, BUT that they strive to give it when they can.

It's a test to see if there just BS'ing me to shut me up, OR if they will indeed give out the discount.

I was hoping that some here would, if they were in need of something, use this and report back if they did give the discount of not.

I am trying to give them a chance to prove it one way or the other.

well,i got my discount early.
i bought 2 guitars a couple weeks ago. i was given 15% off
on buying them. just out of the blue the guy mentioned he was gonna give me the up coming holiday discount, after all, one of the guitars wasnt
ment to be sold before this weekend and they were only getting 1 highway1 in for the sale. sure enough, there hasnt been one in the store since. theres only been 1 in the store all yr that i know of and thats the one i bought. all 4 local GC's havent had one.
there were a couple used ones slide through that i missed out on but thats it.
