I've had good experience buying from them. The tele I got was perfect. My LP Jr. had a bit of what looked like buckle rash on the back but that is probably Gibson's fault and not MF. I've bought pedals and misc. items from them and those have all been good experiences.

Well, I'm on a personal crusade to never buy anything from Musicians Friend or Guitar Center since they're both the same company and have had too many problems with Guitar center between me and my buddy in the past. Special orders not coming in, but being told they're on the way for 4 months, Bass Bridges not being ordered, pushy salesmen who don't know what they're talking about. I'm going to avoid MusiciansEnemy, GuitarChopper, and HackmoneyCentral like the plague. Thats just my opinion.

Re: musiciansfriend
Anyway, I've bought all my guitars from local stores.
I have to admit that I did buy one from Musicians Friend - I was getting a buzz on the low E, so I decided to change the strings - after tightening up the low E string I snapped the corner of the nut off. I assumed they would offer to send me a new nut or something, but they wanted the whole guitar back and refunded my money. They treated me right I guess - but then I didn't have a guitar. No choice but to go down to my local store and buy another guitar - yeah I'm a gearaholic.

You live in Detroit and can't find a music store that stocks something besides Fender?guitarsrock5 said:

Re: musiciansfriend
I usually buy from local shops, too. If I had to order online, I'd go with a smaller company. A lot of times, they'll treat you much better.
And have you asked the Fender dealers about Jacksons? They're part of Fender, so they should be able to get some. Although, there may be different requirements for dealers. I don't know.

I prefer music123.com myself. I've had nothing but great experiences with them. I rarely buy anything without playing it first, but it's often cheaper to try at a store and buy online.
