Alright, got the good ol' Soloist ordered on a down payment. Now when comes the time to pay up the rest, Guitar Center has a policy to beat any competitors price. That's where you come in folks. Please post links or info to a dealer that sells for less. Looking at a sum under $1700. Thanks in advance.

Click on the "Dealers" link located in the header above and email them. Almost any dealer listed there will beat that price. -
Re: HELP!! SL2H Cost Must Be Beat!!!
I think you'll find GC won't be able to beat a JCF dealer's price, as they'll most-likely say that smaller dealers like Matt's Music and V-Wall can offer higher discounts, and therefore are not considered a competitor like the chain/catalog stores like Musician's Friend (owned by GC), AMS (owned by GC), or Sam Ash (owned by GC).
$1700!? Is it a full-on Custom Shop or a USA Select?

Re: HELP!! SL2H Cost Must Be Beat!!!
When it comes to buying a guitar locally or online, the huge benefit of buying guitar oline is usually you don't pay tax and also some dealers offer free shipping.
EVen you get a great deal at your local store, you will always end up paying the tax.
You should try one of the JCF online dealers and find out if they have what you want in stock.Comment

I would say buy from one of the dealers here. It will most likely be cheaper and you will almost certainly get better service.Comment

Re: HELP!! SL2H Cost Must Be Beat!!!
so you've got the guitar ordered and a deposit down. Now you want us to provide you with a dealer so that you can get a better price on the guitar you've already ordered? Where's the incentive to do that? Jackson have implemented a MAP pricing structure, which means dealers have a minimum price that they can advertise their Jacksons for, so to find the best deal you're going to have to contact them. Guitar Center already have the sale. I can't see any of the dealers here stepping up to give you a price, since it's of no benefit to them.
If, however, you wanted to find the best deal so that you could buy the guitar from that dealer, I'm sure one of the guys listed on the Dealers link would be happy to look after you right.Hail yesterdayComment

CAVEAT: They will match any ADVERTISED price. Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) is a strict guideline.
SL1
MSRP: $2449
MAP: $1837
*STREET $1469
*Street price is based on the assumption that any dealer worth a damn will give you approximately 40% off MSRP. I did not ask anyone for a quote, only pulled off MSRP and MAP off a dealers site. So I'm not disclosing any internet dealer price, only an assumed price...
You probably won't get Street price from Guitar Center unless you know someone there, like the General Manager, or a Sales Manager.
You should have ordered from Matt, Scott, Kevin or Lloyd... They would have let you make payments, not charge you sales tax, and possibly even beat my estimated street price.
Good luck getting Guitar Center to beat a dealer's unofficial unadvertised price.

I bought a Black SL2H from GC a few years ago for about $1200. They had it on the rack so they dealt to get rid of it. For a custom order, I think that you would be better off seeing if you can get your money back and then ordering from one of the dealers here."I''ll say what I'm gonna say, cuz I'm going to Hell anyway!"Comment

Re: HELP!! SL2H Cost Must Be Beat!!!
GC "has" to match any competitors price, period.
Scott, you avoiding me? Or my question(s)?
Oh and Smurfinator, you can make payments, but you still don't get the axe till it's paid for in full...
