Target...ANAL ? it's worse than that. I returned one of those TV/Radio/Flashlight things that my 90 year old father got for Christmas. $30 cost, but no receipt. The clerk informed me that it was now worth $15, but being that it was over $9.99 she could not offer a gift card, and that I would have to get something from the AUTOMOTIVE department.... D'oh! WHAT ? I was told if you return shoes, ya gotta get shoes. D'oh! Considering that my 90 yr old father who does not drive nor own a car, I was in a bit of a pickle to find something in AUTOMOTIVE. Ended up trading the TV thing for three $5 AUTOMOTIVE items, then returned those individially for gift cards. D'oh ! Frankly, I got hosed at Target. Nevermore. Nevermore Long live Wally World !!

oh jeepers... the Fat Strat HSS I reference earlier is now at $109.99. I wonder if it will go up even more ?? BTW, Guitar Center and Musician's Friend sells this guitar for $249

Musician's Friend has free shipping for most orders over $99... and also Free Shipping if you use a PayPal account (offer ends 12/15). And No Sales tax

12% discount for NEW customers

Maybe this can help... Guitar Center is great... But also check out Musician's Friend. ..and spend a little extra for an amp rather than the cheap Bundled thingy. A great Guitar and crappy amp sounds crappy. A crappy Guitar and a great amp sounds better. A great guitar and a great amp... well, you see my point. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/electric_guitars/squier/satin_trans_fat_stratocaster_hss/index.html http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/electric_guitars/squier/bullet/index.html
