I stopped in my local guitar center today and found a used 2014 Strat in Olympic white with a maple fretboard for $799. There are absolutely no signs of wear, the hard case was included along with all documentation that came with the Strat when it was new. The same guitar was hanging on the wall new for $1,299. So what do you think? Screaming deal, or too good to be true? It sounds and plays great.

It sounds to me as though you're trying to look a gift horse in the mouth.
If they've knocked a third off the asking price get in there and tear their metaphorical arm off and beat them with the soggy end!

OK, so it's not quite a third - it's New Year's Eve and I've been having a beer or three (or four) .....
Does that help? :D

Play it and if you like it, get it before someone else does. And then share some pics.

Sounds like a great deal to me.

Check to see if they're open today!

No matter what price is on it offer $700...act contrite but as if anything more would take food from the mouths of your children :cry:

We Americans are usually susceptible to sincere low bids...and it's a GC...they expect to cut the price further :D
