Just pulled the trigger on a Guild/BT-258E-8-String-Baritone from Sweetwater. Did an online search for the best price, turned out GC had it listed for $30 less than Sweetwater, but since I like dealing with them better than GC, I emailed my "personal assistant" (or whatever they call them) at Sweetwater asking if he could match the price. Response almost immediately, and after an 8 minute phone call, the deal was done and it should be here middle of next week. Hope Sweetwater stays around a long time, never had an issue working with them.
(otherwise, I'm a gotta play it before I buy it kind of guy)
