Public Service Announcement

[Kurt L]

In yesterday's "Guitar Center Fun" thread, Jeff R asked if anyone could confirm that one of the Austin GCs has an old Californian. Consider it confirmed - I was in there this morning.

It's a 1990 with a freaky black/yellow/green finish - quite hideous actually. Had some wear, but it looked to be in decent shape. They may not have the bar for the Floyd, though.

Dots on rosewood, not boomers on ebony.

They actually had two price tags on it. One said $799, the other said $499. The guy I talked with said it had been there long enough he'd honor the $499 tag. He also said they should have a case stashed in the back.

I talked with Brian McNichol, who seemed like a decent guy. Said an online/phone sale was fine with him.

This particular Guitar Center is located at:

2525 West Anderson Lane Suite 200

Austin, Texas 78757

Phone: 512-419-1717

I've seen that guitar, it was $899.00 last year when I played it , and the dunderheads at GC hadn't even set it up because the strings were fretting out, it played horribly. I thought, good luck getting $899.00 let alone $600.00 for it.
