Couldn't agree more. Guitar Center lost credibility in my book. They seemed to stop working with customers on prices the way they used to. Right around the same time, internet market places became really relevant. After that, I've never gone to Guitar Center unless it's an emergency. They will match prices for the most part, but I'd rather support smaller stores.
As for Proaudiostar, they are great, but I've stuck with idjnow.com. They seem to offer prices that are just as competitive, and will match anything proaudiostar has offered. Another GREAT company out of NY.
I really like zzounds.com. I've taken proaudiostar deals, sent them over to zzounds, and then zzounds sends me back an even cheaper quote (after verifying the competitor) in 20 minutes through email. on top of that they have the 4 installments payment thing.
I have yet to buy anything but I'm pretty sure my next major "NEW" purchase will be through zzounds! I've been buying used gear lately and getting awesome deals so no real need to buy new.
I also see nothing wrong with Guitar Center as long as they price match. It's money in the end and whoever will go lowest gets mine :-)
Different stores will provide different experiences. I've had sales people come off very arrogant when I've tried to get a deal.
Prime example was when I tried to pick up some gear and asked them to give it to me for a certain price. I got an immediate and resounding no. After asking "you guys aren't matching prices anymore?", I was told it's out of their control. Then I told him "ok, I'm a little disappointed since another guitar center did it for me, but I'll just pick the stuff up online". As soon as he realized I had no problem walking away confident that I could get what I wanted at the price I wanted, he almost chased after me to do what I initially asked.
I refuse to give my hard earned money to a company whos employee fails to give me at least mediocre customer service.
so who got what?
