I recently found out that dealing with Fender directly can score you some sweet deals and offers

Them and Gibson both used to offer like half off for music teachers and working musicians just by asking them. Seriously. Covid killed that.

Didn't know you worked for Fender. Built that Squier one piece at a time eh?
 
Call me a simpleton, but I've always liked the Marshall DSLs. Went onto reverb at the right time today to find a DSL20 head for 209 shipped. Granted it's open box from ProAudioStar, so we'll see how it goes from here.

Good luck....they sent me a brand new interface without any packaging except the factory packaging, by ground no less....surprisingly it works.

I've had mixed results with the two orders I've placed with them. One was for a Jackson 7 string...came with a chip in the finish and a dead fret. Returned. The RE-202 they sent me was basically new in box for 49% off or some ridiculous shit. We'll see what happens here.

i was offered a good deal on some hard to find stuff privately and seen a couple good deals on my local CL but I just don't have any money for any of that right now. I sunk a fortune into rebuilding a couple Twins along with speakers, pickups, and pickup swaps in a semi hollow this year. Then I spent 2k at the dentist.getting some gold hardware installed . I'm all spent out for this year which is why the deals keep showing up. I need to put some property tax money together. Dang government.

Bro, you gotta keep dat grill gold yo. A gold grill is the only way to fly yo!

Or, you can roll the dice and go to a dental school like my friend and miraculously, so far, they haven’t maimed him or pulled any teeth they screwed up beyond repair.

I have gas and looking to pick up another amp or guitar or something fun and cool. I didn't see a subforum about sweet deals you guys and gals have run across so I just thought I'd see here if anyone has run across anything that's just "too stupid to NOT buy it".

I've honestly wanted to try a Chibson. I don't care if someone puts a sticker on the back saying it's Chibson, or lightly etches it in or something. As long as the parts line up and everything plays well together, I'd like to try one. They do have some really cool looking guitars they do.
 
I found what I consider a good deal on a Marshall 2100 JCM 900 SL-X with 5881 power tubes.

Was looking at it before Helene, we lost power for about 2 -2.5 days, and I said if it's still available I'm buying it; made an offer and it was accepted. Due for delivery tomorrow.

I got an Aliexpress guitar; it was very good for the price, not perfect. got another, and the finish was disappointing, though just the top of the body needs to be refinished; sounds, feels and plays great. so one win, one loss, so far.

I recently ordered another, $200 guitar, should arrive early November.

they have so many shops; they also use the same stock photos. I found at least 4-5 shops that were selling the same model and color, all using the same photos...so who knows. even the feedback / ratings are questionable. The shop I purchased it from had the most positive feedback, and I read all of them and they looked legit - i.e., actual English speakers writing their thoughts vs the English used in the listing.
 
Not sure what counts as a ridiculous deal for this amp, but I just got a '82 4104 loaded with EV Force 12's for less than 1200 out the door. Gonna need a cap job soon, but otherwise looks super clean inside and works.

How about a minty Mesa Mk V for $1100?
Click to expand...
Ya know, I think the only Mesa amps I could buy w/o hating myself would be another Stiletto, or a Studio Pre (maaaaaybe a clean Dual Rec). I've never played a Mark amp and I just don't know if I could justify one for some reason.
 
There was a DSL on SF Craigslist for $500 recently, that’s a good deal. A lot of guys love those amps.
