I bought my last 4 guitars online - all decent brands, $500+ and have had no problems.
Whilst all online merchants I have dealt with have been good - Sweetwater push it a step further. I have one huy who always handles my orders, took some time just to chat with me and find out what I was into after my very first order and saved my a boatload of money on that purchase by alerting me to a manufacturers offer that I hadn't seen. Also, this guy was a musician and knew his stuff, not some unknowlegaeable teenager who didn't know the first thing about music. In addition, when I bought my Jem, they set it up to my specifications before shipping it - for free. And finally, my guy just left Sweetwater, but I got a call from his replacement, informing me and introducing himself. Needless to say, that given that all the prices are identical, this kind of attitude makes a huge difference! So, online is cool and cheap IF you know what you want. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Are you talking about www.sweetwater.com? I assume you are since I just ran the name through Google and that's the first site that came up. I've never heard of them before. Did you place the order online, or call it in? Do you remember who you talked to? Aside from Carvin, I've never heard of a music shop doing that. Sweet Water sounds like it's worth checking out. Yep, Sweetwater.com - I just ordered online, and within an hour someone called me back to talk. They'll assign you a personal contact guy first time you order, or you could call and ask for advice, they are very big on that. Oh, and they give you free sweets in the shipping box when it arrives -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
