They could even skip the whammy bar along with the trem cover and squeeze out another fifteen bucks!

Everybody misplaces those anyway.

Last two I bought I didn't even get the guitar, just the case candy. I was kinda scratching my head over that as I walked away. The Company was happy, though... :|

There's an idea!

How about a co-production/co-marketing arrangement with Tamiya or Hasegawa to offer the guitars as kits?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

In a few years they will just give you a pile of wood with a Fender decal.. or buy the decal yourself.

Hey, play fair..

Those are quality instruments these days. And by the time you've had your street discount, they're almost giving them away..

They had to make up the difference with the big airline case I got with my American Standard.

Place the parts in an 8-quart casserole dish; add one phillips screwdriver, one pair of needle-nose pliers, one soldering iron, and one pint of genuine sunburst guitar paint; stick it in a pre-heated oven and bake at 375º for 45 minutes, stirring periodically. Guitar is done when you hear the opening riff to "Layla".

Bon appetit!

:mrgreen:
