PSA: check/verify the product you are purchasing. I was on the final checkout page for a '61 Gibson SG and just checked the price with their chat representative. He casually mentioned it was probably a floor model and when I asked him to verify with the store, he said that the did and that they reported a "dime sized ding" on one of the horns. Not dropping $1700 for a scratch and dent SG.

Good thing if you buy from their site, you can return in 45 days.

I caved and bought a 7 string. Schecter C7 Hellraiser Hybrid is $1150 at GC and MF.

Sam Ash has it $900+ %20 coupon. With tax it was about $750. Pretty slick.

Annoyed they let me put in a order for the Gibson Antique Natural Explorer, but apparently it's been discontinued and SA aren't likely to get anymore. They also wouldn't honor 20% off the 70s antique natural because it's a "pre order", even though every other outlet has them in stock and they are all over reverb.

Nice! I bought a ESP M-7HT. I really wanted a Jackson Loomis SL-7 but, they didn't have one. Interested in trying the ESP. I have a ESP Alexi.

I have never gotten along with Schecters unfortunately. I previously owned a KM-6 & KM-7. I looked at most of the 7's but, half of them didn't work with the code.

Their used ads are a joke. It'll have 4 tiny pictures, all the same, of the front of the guitar up to, but not including, the headstock. You can't look closely, you can't see serial or determine age...or condition. They put stock descriptions from some Era that may not match (dude that's not rosewood its pau)...etc. plus before discounts their used stuff is retail price. Occasionally a good deal but you have to work at it...

SamAsh is running some good discounts on their reverb store. They listed the items as "Mint" on reverb with a 20+% discount. My guess is they are trying to sell some of their new guitars as used to avoid the manufacturers' pricing policy.

I check several "mint" PRS S2s on their reverb store, and they have the exact same pictures as the new ones on the SamAsh website. For example: S2 10th anniversary McCarty 594: https://reverb.com/item/79246615-...l-s2071717 or S2 10-th anniversary custom 24https://reverb.com/item/79246632-...bonni-pink.

nice! This is my first schecter, so I'm taking a chance and trying something new. I love ESP, I have a EC 1000 and a 87 Eclipse and they are both fantastic.

I ordered a Gibson LP guitar with the 20% code yesterday, and had a missed call from a Sam ash store asking that they have a floor model with a few scratches that they are going to ship. Would you recommend proceeding still? Why wouldn't they just send a new one…

Typically this happens for a few reasons.

1. Guitar you ordered is OOS.
2. Guitar you ordered was in stock but, multiple people bought that model and unfortunately they did not have the inventory to fulfill all the orders. This happened to me at MF/GC 2 months ago.
3. It's discontinued and they can't get anymore new options for that specific model.

The entire SamAsh chain of 13 stores will have 1 or 2 of a model model.

When you go to their web pages it generally says "Only 1 left".

So the 1 they have is going to be on display at a store usually.

Why doesnt samAsh have 200 of a model? Fender only makes 300 for the world for some models. And then figure GuitarCenter has 300 stores to compete with. You buy 200 guitars for you stores, thats 250,000 dollars for 200 pink jazz basses or whatever that might not sell.

And thats not even talking about sweetwater thats has 100M of $$$ to buy product.

SamAsh is more like a mom and pop store, you take your kid too to buy a new trumpet for school.

yeah lots of deals. I was told they dont have to pay commission to the sales guy at SamAsh so they can pass on the savings.

Interesting, great intel! I spoke with a sales associate who told me this is the best condition guitar they have across all the stores that have one. There is a small chip in the headstock (annoying, but small), and the rest is surface level scuffs really. They knocked another 5% off the price (25% discount total). Plus 4% back from you know where and this seems like a pretty solid deal, even when comparing the stock on Reverb. Thoughts?

Bought a Les Paul Standard from Sam Ash a few months ago. Listed as used on the site with a good discount, and then got a 20% discount on top of that. Guitar is beautiful and no sign I could find that it had ever been handled. And, in my limited dealings, they've been great to work with.

The real reason is that Sam Ash is closing a bunch of their store locations and are trying to get rid of that inventory.
