Oooh, if I make 2 more posts I'll break 3300. Woohoo!

Well, now that just looks wrong. Here's one more to even everything out.

I can't say anything for any of the other dealers here, but I went through Matt and it was an extremely smooth transaction. If I ever order another Jackson it will be through him. Just saying.

Jackson doesnt actually make guitars anymore. They just do quotes that take three months, and then you sit around until you forgot you ordered it. Its extremely profitable, like 100% profitable.

Hey guys, I didn't send it to 3 dealers at the same time. I wouldn't waste their time. I waited over a week before sending to the next dealer after not getting a response by phone or email. I might just say F-it and buy an Adrian Smith.

If I were a dealer and someone sent me an email with a quote request, I'd probably delete the email. If he's not serious enough to call, he's not serious enough to buy. Maybe it's just me.

If that's the way you'd treat a potential sale you'd make a shit businessman.

Just what I was thinking. How hard is it to get a quote? Just pass the spec sheet on, I assume. If that could potentially get you a several thousand $ sale, then pass on every quote request you get!

Contact Matt and I'm sure he'll get you your quote. I've bought quite a bit of stuff from him and he always answers me back right away whether through phone or e-mail. Having said that, I really don't see anything wrong with someone asking for a quote from multiple dealers. Not everyone is a JCF regular and knows that they're basically repeating the same thing two or three times. Most people look at buying a custom ordered Jackson the same way they do a car. They think they are shopping for the best deal.
Anyway, to the OP, save yourself some time and contact Matts Music

Let's use Matt as an example. If quoted a price by Matt,I SERIOUSLY doubt any other dealer is going to beat his price by enough to make it easy to decide to deal with someone else,but maybe I'm wrong.

The consensus is that street price is roughly 40% off retail. Does Fender give "bro" pricing to it's dealers so they can offer 50% or more off retail and still turn a profit? I wouldn't think so.

The only time I've even asked for a quote,Matt had it to me in less than an hour,but maybe that was just luck. Tommy D.

I agree about Matt, he takes care of his customers.

It's not always the Dealers fault, see it works like this......you send us the quote sheet, then we fax it to Jackson (FMIC) then they work up the quote & call us back. If they take a week to let us know then it takes the dealers a week to pass the word on, if it takes them 2 weeks, then it takes us 2 weeks, etc......

We are at there mercy.

There are times I have had quotes back in 10 min. & times I wait 2 weeks & I am sure it is the same for all the other dealers. It is frustrating.

We will match any advertised price but we have to see where it is advertised or a quote from another authorized dealer because anyone can say they can get it for less somewhere else.

I think the OP's problem though is he didn't even get a "We are working on this quote for you" type of response from the dealers he contacted, just dead air.

[roodyrocker]

Funny, on one of the Les Paul forums a guy was complaining that Gibson said it could take up to 90 days for a quote on what basically was just a different color Les Paul! Guys over there couldn't understand when I said there is no way it should take them that long to quote that. I love Jackson!
So, did the OP contact one of our couple sponsoring dealers who responded in this thread? I'm sure they could get him his quote within a reasonable amount of time.

LMAO, I thought I remembered putting a deposit down for something, but just couldn't remember what. :P
