Any word on Fender Friday yet?

jimtlin · November 6th, 2009, 08:19 AM

Well, I broke down and called ... It's the sunburst Roadworn tele for $699.

I was also informed by the sales person that this is the LAST Fender Friday.

rolijen · November 6th, 2009, 08:24 AM

Actually, it's the roadworn 50s STRAT, not Tele! $699. And Yes, this is the end of Fender Fridays.

jjkrause84 · November 6th, 2009, 08:34 AM

Awwww!!!

Well thanks for your info guys

bummer :-(

casey2910 · November 6th, 2009, 09:51 AM

does anyone know how to play taps? this stinks MF!

Post Toastie · November 6th, 2009, 11:26 AM

Maybe they will have a Tele thursday and Strat saturday to move some inventory down the road?

Paulie13 · November 6th, 2009, 12:04 PM

I need them to stop Fender Fridays. Every week I am tempted to pick up the phone and call them. Thankfully I have resisted. I dont have the funds for any new gear.

RCinMempho · November 6th, 2009, 12:32 PM

It was fun while it lasted. Maybe it will be back after the holidays.

Rumblebones · November 6th, 2009, 12:38 PM

Yes! It's over!
Hoping MF never does that again!

It was fun, but pure torture for those of us that have no money. Regretting not getting that sunburst RW Telecaster last summer for $499. Would have been an excellent start for a RW Esquire project.

SpinWheelz · November 6th, 2009, 12:38 PM

I'd love to see a listing of everything they'd ever listed for sale on a Fender Friday...!

++++++++

In a way, I'm glad it is over for a while. People were under pressure to spend money buying guitars when they really needed to go have an amplifier fixed, or go get the car serviced. It was entertaining but also distracting and it disrupted my guitar assembling activities. At some point guys who can't afford one, still can't afford one; guys who could afford only 1 got 1; and guys who don't need any more guitars were doing all the buying.

++++++

Funny, that thru this whole program, until the very last, I'd ended up buying 1 guitar (Melody Maker) that wasn't MFFF, then got the 2 GC Highway Ones which were not MFFF, and if the folks at MF hadn't taken mercy on me I'd have completely missed out on the show - maybe that's why they looked after me, they knew otherwise I'd have outsmarted myself and got none.

SpinWheelz · November 6th, 2009, 01:40 PM

I did a search on the posts in this forum. It looked like it started out a bit slow, like one item a week. Then in recent weeks, it seems that the floodgates opened and we saw half a dozen to a dozen guitars on sale, then we're right back down to one now. Not quite as colorful as I was expecting. Still, it was interesting to see just how low some these guitars went for.

boris bubbanov · November 6th, 2009, 01:47 PM

It will interesting to see if that basic 24/7 phone in list of things on "somewhat sale" will also be killed off, or if maybe the deals will switch back over into that format. That list, you could call anytime and it was not limited to Fender decal products. Squier, Gibson, etc.

BuddyLee · November 6th, 2009, 02:52 PM

Gah, I knew I should have ordered the GE Smith.

And that is why I should never call in the before the coffee kicks in ... guess I heard "tele" cause I wanted a tele.

setlow · November 6th, 2009, 06:17 PM

It was a wild ride while it lasted. Got a chance to sample some things that I wouldn't have at the regular prices. Enough excitement. Back to playing. RIP MFFF.

highwayman · November 8th, 2009, 06:44 PM

jimtlin · November 10th, 2009, 08:08 AM
