would be a great gift for someone starting out, or a good backup for a professional.

quality is actually pretty good...with all Target clearance..YMMV.. I know my Targets each have 6-12 of these left.

 

[Vegitto]

Man, I'd love one of those..

 

[Cstefan]

They arent all that bad either for a bedroom practice set.

It's almost worth it to call a taxi to get over to target... damn not having a car at college. I might have to convince/coerce friends with cars to drive me over there.

 

[msi1337]

make sure you call first, and give them the DPCI for it..they can check stock using that number

 

[nakedfrog]

Hrm, even a cheap bass of unknown quality is better than no bass at all, and I'm in the latter camp right now... I haven't had a bass in eight years. I'll have to look into this.
Thanks!

Nice, I'll have to go by my local target to hopefully pick one up.

 

[imported_NOTORIOUS]

Anyone else get this deal?

I call 3 Targets and 2 were outta stock and one was full price

 

[JohnAn2112]

Sweet! I'm gonna swing my the local Target after work. This will be great for my fiance's bro to learn guitar with. Thanks OP!

 

[bigstrickler]

I'm trying to a buy an electric guitar for around $200-350, max i'd go is $400...any suggestions? I'm new to guitars specially electric so what do you look for in a good electric guitar?

 

[imhungry]

It depends which you like more. I'd say there are two general styles/builds for electrics.

Stratocaster style
and
Les Paul style.

Agile makes great great great guitars for the price. http://www.rondomusic.net/
Even the SST57 Strat style is comparable to some upper end Fender Standard MIM Stratocasters.

 

[bigstrickler]

are styles based on just looks or feel? or a combination of the both

 

[bigstrickler]

I'm looking at these :

Went to 3 targets in northern Colorado, 2 were sold out, 1 had them for $75.

 

[msi1337]

I got 3 of them...2 electric guitars and 1 electric bass... each $37.54 + tax

PICS:

first impression: decent build quality... both bass and guitar stay in tune rather well! frets arent as smooth as possible... pickups are a little blah on the bass...but for $37..who cares..anyone in Cincinnati?

there are over 10 guitar kits at the Milford, OH store...there are about 2-3 left at the Beechmont store.

as for others not getting the same price... this is the first day that they should of dropped..so if you ring it up and it says "not on file"..go up to the front end and ask for the "GSTL"..tell them to get a "PDT" and use "UPCS" to find the last price..should be $37 or less...they should sell it to you for that.

for those of you that are still at $74... wait a day or two..the pricing team has to activate the DPCI for the 75% off, and it is possible they are behind in their scanning.

 

[jimmyjam]

I grabbed one for $37.54 at the Manhattan Beach, CA Target. They had about 6 left and 2-3 bass guitars left. The acoustic was still $130.

edit: Here's a link.

 

[bigstrickler]

I just called my woodland in cali...for the guitar, they say $150 heh i'll wait a day or 2

 

[2canSAM]

Picked one last night at the Target in B'ham on 280. 1 Guitar and 2 Bass still left. 37.54. 40.54 out the door.

Any chance anyone has an extra electric guitar they bought that they'd be willing to sell for slightly greater than cost + shipping? I won't be able to get to Target before they're sold out

 

[knightc2]

I would be interested in getting one of the guitars as well. If anyone has an extra that would be willing to sell and ship for a reasonable price please PM me. Not sure I can make it to a Target since the closest one is an hour and 20 minutes away.

This is a great deal.
