Amazon.com has the synth-ready nylon guitar I wanted which was $1195 everywhere else for $680 just now-8PM Nov 30th-Don't know for how long, since it was 1195 at noon! Search Godin ACS Nylon Acoustic Electric Guitar - Lightburst Flame SA & USB.  It went down to $1015 for the last few days, but is now *much* lower!  I started out on classical nylon strings, and thought this would be a nice way to input real classical tones into compositions.  :o

Hey guys...

Thank you so much for posting !!!! Just jumped on it after a 5mn post-wake-up reflexion with the morning coffee, they even shipped to Japan for almost nothing, i was a bit scared as this was to good to be true, had to convince myself i was not dreaming, especially now that the price is back to $1,195.00. :o
What happened !? Mistake from Amazon ? Nevertheless, mistake or not. my order is firm and confirmed and i get the baby shipped to Okinawa for $785 ... just unbelievable. :o

Gratefully...

At least two, i guess MarkAlan was quick to decide as well. Really i feel so lucky, i almost postponed the purchase thinking i would still be there later in the day. Good i had the right intuition, three minutes after waking up. I always thought that jumping out of bed to rush for coffee and internet was a bad habit, well at least it created the best gear deal i had in ages ! $785 with shipment vs the $1500 for the same item on Amazon.co.jp.
The guitar will arrive in a few days, i was afraid that Amazon would say they canceled the deal because of an error, but it's shipped. Yiiiipeee!!!

I thought i'd have to wait a year to get the acs-sa (not slim version) and never really cared for this usb version, i thought i didn't need usb and didn't like the looks too much. Well, besides usb it's the same guitar apparently and actually it looks good, it's just that the photographs are way too saturated with color and make it look cheap.

MarkAlan, Elantric, thank you a big fat lot !

Still didn't introduce myself on the forum, but i just made the gk jump a month ago with a VG99 which i just love and that really rewards anyone willing to make the effort to tweak it, and this website has been a huge help and very precious source of information.

I wish I could have justified the expense, even at such a great deal. You guys will be very pleased with those Godins - they're really great guitars. I've noticed unusually low prices (for very short time frames) at Amazon on Parker guitars too. I wondered at the time if it were some kind of bug for those too.

Guitarbot

I debated for a few hours.  I just ordered a roland ready strat last week.  I couldn't pass up this deal.  Ordered the Godin also.  It will arrive next Wednesday.  Thank you for the post!  My wife might not like it though :P)

I couldnt resist this. I had an lgxt for awhile and loved the guitar itself, so decided to get an lgx-sa. It said only 2 were left in stock, and when I added it to my cart the price $849. Once I bought it the price on the remaining stock sprang back up to $1600  :o

Thanks a TON for posting this deal guys! I was half expecting this to have been a return and/or factory B stock, but its brand new and flawless. Serial # dates it to mid August production date. Unreal deal.

Thats typical Amazon. Depending on the hour of the day - and how many units they have moved, the price fluctuates several times a day.

For example - they are currenlty runngin a Christmas special where you will save 16% off Music gear over $50 at this link

I dont know, those tuners on the $120 Ep LP Jr, would scare me

Also the bridge on that model is junk pot metal -


The real deals on Amazon IMHO are in the Jay Turser clones

During a 1 day sale at Amazon I picked up a Turser JT300m for $55 with free shipping

http://www.jayturser.com/products/electrics/jt-300.php



+ This guitar has a much better neck than my $1500 JTV-69.

If you were seeking a cheap LP Jr, Id buy this instead - This looks like a sweet deal - :

$99
Jay Turser JTZ-130 Electric Guitar - Vintage Sunburst



Even has a built in Tuner on the side - (take that Firebird -X!)


and sealed Gotoh style tuners

Its Godin sale season at Amazon.com

Just a reminder to newbies, each holiday Winter season for the 5 months between October and February , its been observed that Amazon.com clears out their inventory of "last years model"  Godin guitars - all models  - with significant savings.

Past evidence of these incredible sales are documented in our "Deal Alert Thread" here:
   
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=3207.0

For example:
Godin Freeway SA for $435
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=3207.msg52248#msg52248


In typical Amazon fashion, - the prices fluctuate daily, last year at Amazon, brand new Godin xTSA's first dropped down from $1159 to $737:
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=3207.msg52252#msg52252

then a few days later it dropped to $665,
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=3207.msg52478#msg52478

then down to $580
https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=3207.msg52749#msg52749


When it was at $530 - I ordered my 2nd Godin xTSA from Amazon. These have a full warranty too.

I click this link every morning to see which guitars are more than 50% off at Amazon - and suggest between now until end of the year make a habit of clicking this to see what is on sale, as they tend to go fast.

Just be careful to inspect the guitar thoroughly upon receiving it. Amazon's QA is horrible. I tried 4 times to get a decent xTSA from them before giving up.

OldShepster

Thanks for the heads up.  I got turned on to Godins in the past year (I use a Brian Moore for my 13 pin stuff) and might just have enough bank for a Christmas present.

Thanks again,

Wow!

I had to send my Godin LGX-SA back as well, but the second time was a charm, and the guitar was...$899? With free shipping!

Same here.  I had to send my first Godin xTSA back to Amazon for a replacement,  due to  fretboard separating from the neck at 2nd fret.

But today I have two great guitars for price of one.
