Re: music stores (was MPX-1 $425 blowout)

It's true, I don't want people to think I'm endorsing The Guitar Center.
Mostly I avoid it like the plague.  However, when I need something small, 
or
quickly, it's almost my only choice, and for sure the most convenient.  
Even if
you don't shop there, the fact that they're blowing the MPX1 out cheap 
could at
the very least be a bargaining chip for you at your favorite store.

Knowledge is power.
