Default Is American Musical Supply legit?

They have a supposedly brand new Breedlove Legacy Dread for a $1,000 less than any other online retailer. Too good to be true?

Yes - they are a large credible company - I've bought from them. They've been around a while and have a good reputation.

Are you sure the guitar you are looking at is the exact same ?

Excellent company. I've dealt with them a few times, and always perfect.

Bought from them many times. Totally legit. Buy it before they catch the typo though!

They're great. They send me a gift certificate every year for my birthday.

Recently, I saw a Gibson Nick Lucas on AMS with Rosewood back and sides that was going for about 1k less than any other retailer. It was surprising to me, but I think a lot of retailers are trying to get rid of last year's things this time of year. The guitar I am referring to has since sold, btw.

It says save 49% so probably not a typo.

Absolutely legit, and a good dealer. I've used them several times. Free shipping means "next day" to me, usually, since I'm relatively close.

Sure it's legit. They've been around for years and I'm surprised you're not aware of them. I've bought from them and many other online retailers in the past depending on who had the deal of the day.

Looks like you might have snoozed and loozed over this one, though.

Either a typo or a brief sale on their part? In any event, probably a few people got a really good price on that guitar apparently.

Not sure what you are talking about. It's still for sale and available. However, I have decided to pass on it.

Just saw a used BL Legacy Dread for $1850, so new, it's a great deal.
