Default Need a backup jazzbox on the cheap...?

Saw this on Amazon today, one of those price drops they run every once in a while...

http://www.amazon.com/Godin-5th-Aven...ds=godin+cw+ii

$300+ off is hard to beat...

Hi,

Nice find and although I'm not interested in that particularly, I was wondering if you knew some way of quickly searching for best deals over on Amazon you could share?

OR: Was this just something you had your eyes open for and noticed it? It kind of reminds me of those old musiciansfriends.com/stupid deals but better.

I tried scrolling through Amazon's "best deals" category, but no go.

Thanks either way,

Mick

FedEx just delivered it and when I opened the box it looked like a grenade had gone off in the box. Didn;t know you could break a guitar in so many pieces! Back to Amazon, I'm through ordering guitars on line unless it's from an AG sponser. Guess my great deal wasn't so great after all.

Sorry to hear about your guitar - I had no trouble whatsoever with mine. FWIW I've heard a few horror stories about FedEx lately, so I wouldn't necessarily blame Amazon; don't know if you've filed a claim yet and/or contacted Amazon, but IMO it'd be well worth ordering another if they'll honor your original purchase price - Godins are among the most durable instruments on the market, so I'd say this one's clearly FedEx's fault...

Very sad... But stuff happens. If amazon ships you a replacement at no cost that arrives unscathed, your deal was still great. It just took a little longer than expected.
