The only way you can get a good deal is if you KNOW SOMEBODY. The Great, Great, House of Guitars is a primo example. My brother and I priced a brand new Marshall full stack there. The total was around $2200! The Music Emporium catalog was selling the same thing for around $1800 including shipping. I do get great deals when I see my friend there, though. My wife and I got a new Roland Juno 1 for $600- $650, I can't quite remember, but the list was pushing $1000. I think they could be more competitive if the had some decent service, rather than the largest stock of musical instruments in the country, or world, or what ever it is. I just go there once in a while because my friend works there and he treats me well. Oh well ! I want to open my own store some day. Lets see if I remember my own words!
