Fighting the urge to buy this...
« on: January 17, 2014, 07:54:41 AM »
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Pawn-Shop-Special-Excelsior-13W-1x15-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp-108932591-i3005669.gc

Guitar Center is blowing out their stock of these amps.
$199 is stupid cheap for a simple all-tube 13 watt combo.
But if I bring another amp or guitar in the house, my wife will have a fit...

Truth is I want the upgraded Pro model of that amp; comes w/ a better speaker and better tubes, but the street price is $399. I haven't asked what my price is yet because I don't want to be tempted.
But that brown amp @ $199 is a bargain for those who can take advantage of it.

What's in my heart is to honor my wife and family and our budget and a new amp won't help me do that, so...

Yeah...no.  ;D

I did visit the local music store today and played the Pro version of the same amp. My price is just over $300, so I may hold off and get one of those if I get anything.
Those amps are really impressive and stupid heavy, too!

Oh, and I played a new Gibson Les Paul LPJ model through the Fender amp and it was just an amazing guitar.
The price: $559  :o
That is an AMAZING price for a genuine solid Gibson Les Paul!

I was wondering about those. I was going to go right towards the Gibson LP Studio. I may give a serious look to those now. Save a few hundred dollars that can go towards a recording package...

You could aways ask one of these guys to buy it for you. :) Are the guitar bodies like the one in track man's avatar the big style now? I see those styles all the time. I don't remember seeing those when I started learning guitar in the 90s. I'm tempted to buy one from Rondo.
