GDTRFB Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Sweetwater is having a President's Day sale and they knocked $400 off the Inspired by John Lennon Casinos. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ETJLVSNH/ Even though they are currently out of stock, you can put in an order. Their sales rep confirmed they will ship them out once they receive them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 And yet, they don't have them "in stock" yet?! So, why the bargain price? Did they over-buy, for stock? Are they slowing down, in consumer demand? If they don't even have them, yet...and can sell them for that amount, why not sell them, for that, to begin with?! (No answer needed, I know why!) lol Very Interesting! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g6120 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 They wont have them in stock until March or April thats what I was told on the phone . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunelleschi Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was lucky enough to be browsing sweetwater when I saw the price drop and ordered one on impulse I got the last natural finish in stock and there were 3 or 4 vintage sunbursts in stock too. Possibly even more, but they had 4 to compare photos. They must have gone fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The Lennon EJ-160E is also on sale, for $399. Red 333 Interestingly enough, they have 4 in stock. MF has one at $424, and GC has it listed as "lowest price guaranteed" at $499. Hmmmm...I really don't need one of these (I have two Ovation A/E's), but at $399??? Tempted, mighty tempted.

Aster1 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Prolly didn't get the response from all the 50th anniversary blush with the Beatles Invasion. Seems like Epi/Gibson must be dumping them unless Sweetwater got a heck of a deal on a full container or something. There goes me getting anything good for my like new & factory grounded/better PUP EJ-160E I guess. Don't need it much anymore not that I have a Gibson Fuller J-160E. Maybe I'll take the steel strings off, PB's on and pretend it's an Epi EJ-45. Think it will come close? Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar12 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I know that I knew at one time but can somebody give me a quick rundown on what the difference is between the IBJL Casino and the regular Casino now that they are temporarily the same price. Thanks. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Rob USA Electonic's (Pickups, pots, and selector switch) in the IBJL, for one! The IBJL only comes in Sunburst (Gloss) "'65," and Natural (Matte) "Revolution." The "Revolution" IBJL has Gold Grovers, the '65 has the "Kluson" style "butter bean" tuners. The Elitist Casino also uses Grover tuners. And, the IBJL has the little black washer, under the switch ring, that none of the others have, "stock." Also, I believe the "Standard" Casino has a neck joint at the 17 fret, whereas the vintage USA, Japanese "Elitist," and the IBJL have the vintage neck joint at the 16th fret. Unless they've changed all that, recently??? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telegent Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I guess I got lucky. I was following Casinos on Amazon.com because I had credit card points I could use there. I saw a IBJL for $849 and thought I would save a little more and watch for one. Back the next day there was one for $799. I was close to buying but was waiting for another financial element to fall in place. On Thursday I looked again and there were three bursts available for $599 from Gearnuts. Researched and saw this as a part of Sweetwater and jumped on it. They all sold within a few hours. They shipped it that day and I got it on Saturday. And it was nearly perfectly in tune after all the travel. (I was also lucky back in September when I found an American Vintage 72 Telecaster Thinline for $975 from Sweetwater's Ebay page.) Now, back to picking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDTRFB Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well, it looks like Sweetwater is no longer offering the deal. They took it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
