    True, but it never hurts to ask for the discount.

    I have a feeling he can get it. Not a big fan of GC and the others, but if you can test drive the actual guitar you are buying, that takes the biggest concern out of the transaction.

    That sounds like the way to go! I was under the impression MF owned GC too. Should be able to match it right on the spot. The guitar F4DPhantomII and I tried out had a decent neck and a very pleasant sound. Not boomy, muddy or thin, not bad at all especially for a lam top.

    Sounds like they have cornered the market.
    Just Strum Thanks.I'll try that it shouldn't be a stretch to price match since GC had the PR 150 Sunburst on sale in July for $99.00.I am going next payday(friday) and ask.

    Cort's "Parkwood" line are some of the most impressive acoustics I've played for the price range ($300-$700 typically). But it seems they're prone to top & back cracks if not kept in proper humid conditions. Seems my local GC stores all have Parkwoods with cracked tonewoods. Guess the woods are quite thin, but they resonate beautifully. Out of price range new, but you might find a good used one that'll meet your budget. As far as Epi's Masterbilt line I have an EF500RA that I plan on taking to the grave with me it's so beautiful!! And I tend to really love the rosewood back & sides over mahogany these days. The first time I played one it was an instant hit with me & I never looked back.
