MaxHart85231281734137 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I really havnt used many of the online stores to buy things for my guitars and amps and what not, but I was wondering witch site has the most bang for my buck?

peeper Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It matters, you want a VERY liberal return policy when ordering from a place like that. To me its worth an extra 3% up front to know I can return something if I don't like it. That being said, I have had VERY good experiences with zzounds, not so much with MF or AMS. I never tried Sweetwater, so no comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiphonePlayer Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 MusciansFriend has extremely good deals and always is fair. Everything me or my friends have got from them have been perfect. If you are looking for a good site this one is the best choice. But I'm sure other people have other opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Sweetwater has the absolute best in customer service, etc. but do not have the inventory of accessories that Musician's Friend or Guitar Center (one and the same) have. If you're thinking in the $150-200 range, that's more than likely what's going to be purchased (i.e. pedals, other misc elec goodies, etc.). Either MF or GC is going to be fair on any return issues (my limited experience, anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardog Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 is your pop's the type that likes to browse a store? if so, get him a gift card to that store. Where do you get you gear? i would get him a card from them. If they do not have them, get him one from the online place you visit the most. i have a guitarcenter local and get cards and coupons from them for being a good customer in the mail. Sign up for the email news letter to get some sales coupons. I do the online surveys for guitarcenter and get rewarded with 5-25 dollar gift cards or coupons. IT helps and it is a great way to keep me as a customer. so, a card from a family member and the stuff from the store and oline emails makes for a nice deal.

brianh Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Sweetwater has fantastic customer service. MF has a bigger selection, but kinda impersonal and they've screwed up two of my orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I recommend a Guitar Center gift card - it will work online, with the same prices as Musician's Friend or Music123, but also in the store. Unless you don't have a Guitar Center. In that case, either Musician's Friend or Music123. They ship from the same warehouse and almost always have the same sales going on.
