Now I know a lot of the Guitar Center stories told here are negative,and yes I've complained about almost nonexistent customer service at the few I've been to.
This was NOT one of those nights.
The last guitar I bought was my old Model 5 in 1997,just before my house fire. It was the only one that made it. I love it,but it needs a refret to be brought up to modern standards,along with a new nut,and a JT6 replacement. So I've been looking for something else.
I saw a DXMG for a good price on their Used site and luckily it was at the Thompson Lane store in Nashville,and it worked out that I had a Dr appt at Vanderbilt that day,so I'd have chance to check it out.
It was indeed there,but while looking at other stuff I caught a glimpse of another Jackson headstock in the Used section,so I investigated further.
Be damned if they didn't have a SL2Q MAH in Trans Blue that is in nice enough shape that I can't see anything visibly wrong at arm's length,tagged at 299.00
. Even after looking it over,there is nothing wrong with this thing that can't be fixed with a piece of 400/600 sandpaper,a wipedown with gunstock oil,and a rag.
I hold the thing up to get the attention of an employee.
I asked if there was any wiggle room in the price,and he said no,but no big deal,this is about as good as stealing
.
I even accepted the fact that they didn't have a Floyd arm on hand that actually fit,but was playing it cool.
Once I picked out and fitted the case,I got it up to the counter and another guy stepped in and tried a couple Floyd bars,but still no luck.
Then he adjusted the price on the guitar AND the case to the point I walked out with both for less than 400
