musicmaker99 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You have to call Musicians Friend to get the additional 15% off the $419 sale price. This brings the total with shipping and the Epi HSC to about $350. All colors are in stock except the Goldtop which is expected to ship in early Feb. I've been gassing for a Trad Pro ever since they came out...love the chunky 50's neck! So, wouldn't ya know that just last night I put a 1996 Fender American Standard Strat on Layaway (at $550 I couldn't resist. It's in perfect condition and met my criteria of a maple fret board and sunburst finish)! Now I have to justify spending another $350. Hmm..............umm.......................er..........................o.k....I justified it.......my, that was easy! UH, OH.....WHEN I CALLED BACK TO PLACE MY ORDER THE REP SAID THAT I COULDN"T TAKE THE ADDITIONAL 15% OFF MY ORDER. I TOLD HIM I WAS VERY SPECIFIC WHEN I CALLED EARLIER AS TO WHETHER THE ADDITIONAL 15% OFF APPLIED TO THE SALE PRICE OF $419 AND WAS TOLD IT DID (i.e. $419 minus 15%). I ALSO STATED THAT I WAS QUOTED A FINAL PRICE OF $356. ANYWAY, AFTER THIS REP TALKED TO HIS SUPERVISOR THEY APPROVED THE SALE BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WAS GIVEN INCORRECT INFO INITIALLY. SO.................ONE GUY SAYS "SURE, YOU CAN ADD THE 15% DISCOUNT TO THE SALE PRICE" and another says: "NO YOU CAN'T". This seems to be a common theme these days, no one knows wtf they're doing. Sorry if I gave out an incorrect quote. I guess you all can try and see how your luck is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 They've got lots of good deals on Epis right now. You also can get a P93 Riviera w/ HSC for the same price. I paid about $100 more than that for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwich Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Killer price. I just added my second Trad Pro, like new from eBay for $360 with shipping, but no HSC. Would rather have had a warranty and HSC. Trad Pros are players for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-M Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Congratz on an excellent choice and a good deal. The Trad Pro is one of the best sounding models Epi makes IMO. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwich Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Rumor is that you can stack the friend5 and reallywant12 promos an get 18% off. To quote Crazy Eddie, "The prices are insane!". Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New Year! It took it! Final price: $338.48. Hmmm...I wonder if I call if they'll knock off the addt'l $17.81 since I already ordered it over the phone? If you deduct the $89 for the free case the guitar comes in at $249! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
