Just got a deal on a 2012 american standard Telecaster in Natural for $855 at HelloMusic.com
I have seen these guitars for $1050-$1300
I was going to buy this guitar a few weeks ago for $1050 at amazon butttt
bought a 2011 Blond american 60th instead for $999.00
But when I saw the price at $200 cheaper I knew I had to jump on it before
they sold out (wellll they are sold out,guess many saw this deal}
I would not have bought this guitar if it had the same pickups as my 2011.
I am sure there will be many great deals on guitars and amps with this bad economy in the many months to come.
Glad I bought a 2011 and a 2012 telecaster(hope they sound atads differant}...........JT

Nice deal.

On the other hand, Screw a website that makes me register to see a price.

No thank you!

I can agree with that,I am not into giving my email address to everyone.
But with Hellomusic.com I see that they have many great deals(I use another email address for them}
But many say just be happy with my 2011 60th Blond telecaster and just enjoy that guitar.
Butttt after reading that the 2012s have differant pickups and at $855 for a Natural (seems that most charge more for a Natural for whatever reason}
I felt I will not see a deal like this for awhile for a NEW guitar,well maybe I am wrong because I got my 2011 Blond american standard for $999.00 from amazon..........
Now I have 2 telecasters
So I can now look for something differant,Maybe a gibson explorer or firebird since I have a strat and a few les pauls already lol......JT

Looks like Guitar Center has these for $999 too, but they are having a sale from 6/28-7/4 with 15% off a single item if it's over $300, so that should work out about the same. I got a coupon in the mail, but you should be able to get one from their site if you sign up for the e-mail list.

Guitar center had a great big sale a few weeks ago,I am sure this sale will be as big.
Problem is that the 2012 Telecasters were listed at around $1300 for a Natural color(other colors are cheaper},Yep the price droped too around $1050 for a Natural color with discount..Seems that they jack up the price a few dollars when they have a sale.........
Butttt nowhere near the $855.00 mark babyyyyyy........JT

OK, I see, the natural one is $1150 list, which would be $977.50 with the 15% discount: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-2012 ... 2380187.gc

If you can get a Natural for $977.50 ,I would go for it.
(if you want it in that color?}I have seen 2012 Black american standard telecasters for under $900.00.
Seems the Naturals are a premium on the price for whatever reason....JT

The Natural and Crimson finishes are Ash bodies. Alder is normally the standard wood in a US tele.

Minus another 100.00 for the summer rebate 877.50. (if you get a cool GC rep that will honor both).

I live out in the country, but there's a store about half an hour away. It's nice to see and play with stuff in person, then take it home. I'm a sucker for the whole instant gratification thing. And the 12 month no interest deal on their credit card (through the end of June) is also a temptation. :twisted:

I guess if you want to depend on a Cool GC Rep then I hope you will find one.
Myself I don't hope to bump into a Cool Rep that will give me deals lol.....
I rather shop on the web so I can beat the Tax and shipping..................JT

Problem with GC is when they have those discounts they exclude Fender and almost anything else good.

The 2 telecasters that I got comes with a fender hardshell case.
Yep I see, a few GC places that gives you a bag carry case,the one I call afew weeks back didnot give a hardshell case,wonder what they do with the hardshell case(sell it?}....JT

You need to read the fine print, but I have not usually found this to be the case. I got a Martin D-15M with 15% discount and 12 month 0% financing there. But maybe you don't count that as "anything else good". :wink:

Of course, everyone should use whatever merchants they are most comfortable with. There can be advantages to purchasing from a local dealer however.

The 2012 American Standard model from Guitar Center says it includes the "Fender-exclusive SKB® molded case"

The Martin D-15M I got there included the Martin hard case. But the Classic 72 Telecaster Thinline I got there included the Fender soft gig bag. However, that is what Fender's own site says should be included with my model.
