It's my primary acoustic. I love it. Great sound for great affordability.

IMO you're not going to find a better new guitar in that price range. I know some others will disagree but the big baby is a great instrument that'll inspire you to play and get better.

Yeah i know man


my uncle and cousins had a badass band back in the day and when we went to visit i just loved it. Ive always loved music but played sports so guitar was on the back burner. Now all I do is work, workout, and dick around on my shitty guitar. Id play more but the strings are so far from the fret board that its extremely hard to play and frustrating when it doesnt sound good.


Picked up the big baby in the store on friday and knew i was gonna get it. loved the feel and sound. Just wanted to do a little research before i bought it.

$450

I played around with it in the store and it sounded amazing. Made my guitar sound like a children's toy

Well shite I guess I need to play one. I had a badass Epiphone I got from a pawn shop and I loved it but it got stolen a few years ago and havent replaced it. I guess that will change soon.

If you go to guitarcenter.com you can get 75 dollars off I think it ends tomorrow.

You have to spend 500 to get the 75 off so I bought a capo and some random shite to get it to $500.91 then got the discount. After tax and shipping I paid less than what the guitar costs with tax added. 470

Hopefully someone guitar pro can help me here. Just got an email and its said " sorry but your guitar isn't in box like it said its actually an In store demo. Do you want to proceed with your purchase?"

Should I do it?

I thought the email said demo price so I responded asking what condition and price?

Should I get a couple bucks off here? Or is that pretty standard

It's going to be the one hanging on the wall like all the other guitars at guitar center. It's probably okay, but without actually being able to play it, there's no way to tell the condition. Just make sure they will let you return it for another one if something is wrong with it.

Yeah I didnt understand what he was saying at first.

thanks for your response


He said it was the 2011 model so I told him I should get some off because its not what I purchased. I told him to just send the guitar but if there is anything wrong with it im returning it and not paying return shipping costs etc

This is why I buy in store. Now I realize you were taking advantage of a deal and I don't blame you but I try my best to play the exact instrument I'm buying

I know man I'm really kicking myself right now

It was a great deal but a pain in the arse. I don't understand why they wouldn't just ship it from a different store but whatever. If its not perfect it's going back

Guitar center is probably the worst store ever, ever. That is why they do this kind of crap.
