Off topic but I traded in my Artcore and another Ibanez acoustic electric for my Seagull. I paid $199 for my Artcore about 2 years ago NEW (it was a discontinued model) and they gave me $129 for it. (I got $75 for the acoustic). While I was paying the difference for my seagull I asked the guy if he was going to sell the Artcore for $200 and he said yea it will probably be around there.

I wish I knew someone who worked a GC! I'd be more willing to shop there instead of online just to get my stuff immediately and make returns much easier too. I wish retailers would realize they can make just as much or even MORE money by reducing prices and selling by volume. More people would shop and actually BUY when in the store. How many times have you been in GC for a hour or more and walked out with NOTHING!?
