View Full Version : Oh Baby, Discounted Guitar???

The Director of Materials (my indirect boss) and I were talking as I was ready to leave work and I commented "I'm going home and play some guitar", and she responds "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Rick is good friends with the guy that owns the Fender plant down in Mexico". Rick is the owner of a company I purchase product from and someone I will be trying to contact tonight to get details. I'm not sure about the ownership part, unless Fender is actually farming the assembly out to the facility in Mexico.
I have to get details on this because I may have walked into a good deal.

Well, I just received an e-mail and it is a fact, he is friends with the guy. Time to put on the negotiating cap.
MrMudcat is in, I've known him the longest. Tot, don't know buddy - let's just say you are on probation, but what color butt ugly one would you be looking for should I change my mind?
Now before I start counting my chickens, I have to see if there are any deals to be had.

In that case, you are still a poopyhead.

I will have to talk to this guy next week and see if I can work a deal. He's opening up a facility just down the road from Fender. His production manager just sent me an e-mail inviting down to the new facility and then a tour at the Fender facility. I get to expense it to company travel, visit the Fender facility and maybe bring home a sample. I'm assuming they have those older ladies standing in the aisles with the sampler tray.

that would be so cool!! I like the way you think, well good luck with that, oh and by the way, if you come across a slightly blemished strat or tele body in alder they're just throwing away, you mind doing this canuck a favour? because I want to upgrade a ten-piece basswood body. I'll pay shipping too, just name you're price (under $100)

Hmmm, I wasn't able to talk to the guy today, but it's looking like I have to negotiate for more than one.
Just getting one may be a long shot, let alone 10, 15, 20...:D

One is waaaay better than none. Will they just give you one, or just get an extra special deal?

Well, I received a call today and the guy is down in Mexico and has my request in hand. Hopefully I will hear something soon.
I'm still not sure of the chances of a great deal, but hey maybe I will be surprised.
Also will have some other news next week.

Now Strum! That's just not fair to hold back at all. Come on what did you get?
I really haven't seen too many of the Mexico Fenders that you could tell a big difference from the US Fenders other than some of upgrades. It would be nice to have one of those pretty Tele-Deluxe Custom models in say KAO.

Street, you are going to have to wait.
Well, with one, possibly two guitars on the way, I am going to have to shed at least one. I may put the Washburn J28SDL on the market. I'll have to think about it and put it over in the other section.

Ok , I'll wait but the excitement is building.
I'm happy with my Takamine for now in the acoustic line.
I still have a desire for a Tele.
