Just ribbin ya..Congratulations on the new guitar, they are great! No matter what is on the headstock, nothing beats that exciting feeling of a new guitar!
Perfectly said.Money isn't actually worth anything on its own; it's only when you trade it for something of value that money is worth anything.
Guitars are worth all the time and effort you put into them, so the money-cost of a guitar is only a fraction of its value.
haven't checked current pricing, but I paid $1,549 in July. If I had to pay $200 more today, I'd still buy it,
Discussion of new prices is not allowed here by forum rules, thanks.
No consequences yet...Is there some part of this that is difficult to understand?
There's not a lot of mod action after Shawn left.No consequences yet...
And why should there be? It’s an arbitrary and completely ridiculous ‘rule’.No consequences yet...

Ooooh .... Don't say that out loud ! Don't let Paul & Co hear that !
Yeah looks like our beloved S2 594Thinline is now in the $1.600 dollar class (while her chunkier sisters cruise to $1,800 ) But you are letting them know that we GuitarJunkies , will still be on the GuitarHoe Stroll for another $150 !!!
Arrrrgh !
This is how I always interpreted the rule.If I understand it correctly, the rule applies more to people quoting prices paid for a particular guitar, such as "Hey, the Custom 22 MAPs for $3850 but I just got one a Julie's guitars for $3000 out the door." If my understanding of the intention of the rule is correct, we ARE permitted to say "what is the current MPA of a Custom 22?" and someone answer that. Or, "did the MAP prices just go up on the S2 Custom 24?" or something like that. I think we're allowed to discuss prices in general, and state MAP, but if I understand the rule was made more so that one guy isn't going "I just paid $3500 for my new Custom 24 at xyz store" and then another says "hey, you should go to abc store instead, I just got one for $3000" and things like that.
I don't think the intent of the rule was that we couldn't even tell someone what MAP was on a given guitar. But rather that they don't want people discussing discounts/prices they got compared to MAP prices in the forum.
I based this on answering someone asking for a good price on a guitar, and my stating what I paid for one of my new guitars, back when I first came here (and didn't know this rule yet), and being told pretty quickly by a moderator not to discuss that and why, and asked to remove the price I posted, because I had received a significant discount.
See my post for clarification.And why should there be? It’s an arbitrary and completely ridiculous ‘rule’.
A guitar costs what it costs, and the prices are public knowledge and in the public domain, so why block people from talking about it? Stupid.
This is how I always interpreted the rule.
Don’t forget - their house, their rules. Period.
