There's typically not a whole lot I'm interested in when it comes to The Stupid Deal of the Day. This was a superb deal however. I typically don't buy new because you can seldom recoup your cash when/if you sell. In this case, however, I think you could or at least come close.
I darned near jumped at it but I may be picking up a 1974 D 55 locally. It's got plenty of wear and tear but I'm fine with that.
The D 55's must have been a popular pick though. The burst they 1st showed sold out and was replaced by a natural but it looks like that sold out as well. I had called Sweetwater to see if they could match the price because I prefer to deal with the same salesperson I always use rather than an impersonal on-line purchase. He never got back to me before the D 55's sold out at MF. And I'm o.k. with that. I'm close to getting out of gear debt and this would have just added another $2k+ to the pile. I hope some folks here took advantage though.
