Make sure you read the title, and check out the price.

Neat! Why buy a new one for only $1100, when you can get one used for $1400?
(Actually, with a cash discount, could get one for $900, maybe less).

Those GC guys are really paying attention. ;)

Green Tolex is really expensive. :lol:

It works in the other direction......I bought a mint used Gibson SG Faded for $350 in Brookfield (and delivered it to a friend in Chicago who wanted an SG but couldn't afford one). I've found more silly low priced deals than silly high priced deals. It's all over the place. Whacky.

Some guys think it's a good deal to trade stuff at GC "because they get 50% of the used retail value". I really worry as to how GC established their used values. The process is as mythical to me as "how the airlines move prices up and down three weeks before a flight".

I think intoxicated men throw darts at a dollar coded dart board. That's the system. :)

Acoustic? I have a Tweed PRRI, and it seems to be for electric guitars. Also, I bought mine used for $1100, CANADIAN.

The Green Tolex is made by Orion girls from Star Trek. It's very very rare and the amp is the bargain of a lifetime. The space travel alone that is involved if fetching the Green Tolex is worth at least $724.97.

It's made over an open flame by green women on another planet! This is a photo of the manufacturing process. It's the deal of a life time man!

I bought the bass in my avatar pic in that kind of scenario. The deal was crazy good.

The Guitar Centers in the North Florida area are really run down.

It’s always a weird experience in them.
