Facebook ads offering guitars at 90% off at Sam Ash. It's a scam.
Thought I'd post it just in case someone thought it was legit. Desciption of scam |

I dont believe anything that is advertised on fakebook. That place is 99.9% scams and maybe .1% legit. Not to mention the last place I would ever support ads from would be the commies at fakebook. If them dumb fuk'n liberals that congregate there want to support fascists then let them get fucked in the ass by their advertizers.

I may be going to the one brick and mortar store near me on Friday. Not looking for anything. More for nostalgia.

Good luck finding anything if you go. I went to the store in Jacksonville last weekend and they were already picked over. No Gibsons left and only a couple of taco Strats. I did buy the last Crybaby pedal they had.

I had already bought a Les Paul that week and then watched Casino Guitars' video on how Sam Ash Corporate acted like assholes to them. Even though the Ash family later apologized, I decided I wasn't all that interested after all. |

I would expect the staff to picked over the moderately priced stuff first (likely killer deals worked out for them which is cool, they're losing their jobs) and SA probably brought in buyers/collectors from other outlets for the pricey stuff. I'd never let booger eaters from clearance sale frenzy near anything over $1k. |

I saw a Youtube video on the Sam Ash FB scam. The discount page looked like someone put effort in making it, but the prices and discounts were all sketchy. The scammer did not come close to the supposed MSRP for most of these guitars.

The nearest SA to me has GUTTED the guitar section. It used to be awesome, but 80% of the good things are simply gone, replaced by low tier brands like Leo Jaymz guitars and other crap or just empty wall space. I just don't understand their business model there.

I got one good deal and one screaming deal from Sam Ash's official website.
I haven't seen the scam sites pop up. |
