Keep in mind, if purchasing this, there's a decent chance you'll get a well-loved floor model from GC and not something new in box.

Bought mine from GC online and it came from the warehouse in KC -- even when my local GC had one. And I'll also give kudos to GC for price matching the MF price. I got mine 40 days ago.

Call in and ask them to find a new one for you. They can either ship it from the warehouse or they'll find a store with a bunch in stock and call the store to have them pull a new one to ship.

Dont buy from a mom and pop shop either then. All guitars for sale are on the sales floor.

You could put in a custom order. Might take Fender 24 months to make you one. lol.

M&P can't price match the big boys bro. Recession time here if you didn't notice. Got to get all you can for your money.

Buying from a mom and pop sales floor won't get you a banged up guitar with rusty strings on it. Thanks for your (uninformed) input, though.

Look, if you don't understand the discussion and the difference between those scenarios, just stay out of it.

If I bought a new guitar and it came banged up with rusty strings, I would return it. Not sure why you wouldn't do the same.

I prefer to buy from my mom and pop shops and I also buy used gear. The difference is when I think I am buying a new boxed item and I get something clearly used or a floor model. The issue there is I can't inspect the floor item before I buy it. I've received damaged floor/used items from GC when I've ordered a new product. Like actual dents, scratches, and broken pieces.
