Epi Acoustics

I don't know if the AJ200SR can be obtained from anywhere else but the GC, MF, and who ever else is in that group. I do have Sweetwater looking into it, but it may not be available to them. They also said the Epi/Gibson folks tend to be sloooooooowwwwwww.

If you like the Cort models my Parkwood PW340FM is for sale....and it is a great guitar.

What's the tie between Cort and Parkwood? If I like Cort, why would I like Parkwood?

Parkwood is the name of their SW line, more or less similar to Timbercraft for W

I have a Epiphone PR150 and I like it a lot. These can be found for around $100 to $125 and Musicians Friend has them on sale for $99.

I have a country picker friend that plays Taylors and he was impressed when he tried it. It has nice sound and stays in tune which is all I ask from an acoustic guitar.

They did sound good yesterday when friend M29 and I tried them out at GC.$129 but they were on sale in July for $99.Darn I did not get one then. Anyway that is what I am getting.

I would contact GC and tell them you want the $99 price that is being offered at MF or you'll just place your order with them. They should match it.

Print it and take it with you.

GC owns MF.

Even more reason to match, no?

True, but it never hurts to ask for the discount.

I have a feeling he can get it. Not a big fan of GC and the others, but if you can test drive the actual guitar you are buying, that takes the biggest concern out of the transaction.

That sounds like the way to go! I was under the impression MF owned GC too. Should be able to match it right on the spot. The guitar F4DPhantomII and I tried out had a decent neck and a very pleasant sound. Not boomy, muddy or thin, not bad at all especially for a lam top.

Sounds like they have cornered the market.
Just Strum Thanks.I'll try that it shouldn't be a stretch to price match since GC had the PR 150 Sunburst on sale in July for $99.00.I am going next payday(friday) and ask.:beer:

Cort's "Parkwood" line are some of the most impressive acoustics I've played for the price range ($300-$700 typically). But it seems they're prone to top & back cracks if not kept in proper humid conditions. Seems my local GC stores all have Parkwoods with cracked tonewoods. Guess the woods are quite thin, but they resonate beautifully. Out of price range new, but you might find a good used one that'll meet your budget. As far as Epi's Masterbilt line I have an EF500RA that I plan on taking to the grave with me it's so beautiful!! And I tend to really love the rosewood back & sides over mahogany these days. The first time I played one it was an instant hit with me & I never looked back.
