Hi
I was looking at the MIM strat (standard stratocaster) on guitarcenter.com, and i noticed that the price of 347.99 instead of 399.99, did anyone else come across this or is this just me?

I contacted guitarcenter and they said that they have some deal with fender and that they are "discounting" some of their products, so should I buy the MIM strat i've always wanted now?

thanks!

I saw that the other day and I looked at the drop down box and they were priced as Blemished Item at that time.

I had thought the Stratathon was just a in store sale not for web site sales.

I just came from Guitar Center today. Apparently they're having a big sale during July and have a lot of Fender products marked down. I saw $100 off, on a Hot Rod Deluxe amp. And they had other similar sale on other products. I also saw a MIM Strat marked down. So maybe this is the time to check in, and make a purchase, if you were already thinking of it.

NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a strat online! I've played Strats that sounded awesome and others that sounded flat, life less, and like they've costed $99. All of these strats were American made Fenders! If you want a Strat go to guitar center or a music shop and play a few till you find one that sounds great.

I went to GC, too (Austin, Texas). Standard Strats were $380.

Paying $800 for an MIA standard is a killing (see a few posts above). I didn't see anything like that when I was there. Nice job, dude!
:D

I ordered a strat online and it played great, but my friend ordered an SG and it played horrible.

You should immediately buy the Strat you've always wanted - any time, at any price!

What have you been waiting for? :wink:
