Hello,

I bought my last guitar from the 2013 Spring break Sale-A-Bration. It's a MIA standard strat and I got it for around 750$ CAD.

I'm a student so I don't have a lot of money, but I've been really wanting to get another guitar for some time, specifically a MIA deluxe strat.

Was just wondering if anyone knew of any current promotions, or deals which recur each year for example that might help me out in my purchase venture.

Cheers

One great deal may be available now, if you hurry to your local dealer before last year's (new) guitars are gone.

When the new stock (2015) arrives, dealers will often list or negotiate a better price in order to make room for models or colours, etc.

There's no guarantee though as prices and supply dictate. It might be a good idea to let somebody in sales know your intentions so they can keep an eye out for you.

Also, some people trade up when new guitars arrive, and great used guitars (some barely a year old) may be a good economical choice.

I managed to get my new American Deluxe at a great price in this fashion. :D

Best of luck in finding yours.

I noticed Sam Ash has started listing their 2014 closeouts on their used site.

That's how I ended up getting an American Deluxe. I hadn't intended on it but they marked it down to the same price as a Standard. It has a small dent in the body (purely cosmetic) which I think helped get the price down.

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

This is the guitar I'm looking at getting;

http://intl.fender.com/en-CA/series/ame ... urf-green/

This is a 2014 model right? And therefore I can expect for it to go on clearance, no?

A lot of the stores are out of stock and so I feel like I'm running out of time if I want to get a new one.

I checked out the Sam Ash store but it's full price there (1,700$)

Cheers,
Nick

I doubt if you will get any clearance price directly from Fender. :(

Beautiful guitar, enjoy it.
I haven't tried a soft V neck or a compound radius neck before, I'll have to check them out next time I'm in the store.

Congrats! That's a gorgeous guitar. You won't regret going with an American Deluxe. The necks are fantastic, and all the little things like the block saddles, pop-in trem arm, and locking tuners are great.

Hi SteelyRay:

Glad you got the axe you wanted. Great choice and colour. I'm sure you got a great deal from the same gang I got mine from :D

PS The Strat may be good out of the box, but every player is different. Make sure you get it set up to your liking ... it will make a difference you won't regret.

Enjoy!
