What is your guitar buyingexperience with AmericanMusical Supply? |
|
i want to buy a bass from them
but i haven't heard from this
site like how musiciansfriend
is very popular. Do you really
get really fast shipping if
you live in the San Francisco
bay area? what was your
experience with them |
 |
Ive dealt with American
Musical Supply now for over 2
years, and have yet to have a
problem. One time there was a
mix up on an order, where I
received someone elses. The
shipper inside the box
confirmed that, yet, the box
was addressed to me! I
notified A.M.S., and they also
figured that my order was sent
to where the one I recieved
was supposed to go. They told
me they would send a prepaid
shipper to me, and then to
attach that to the wrong order
I had received and drop it at
U.P.S. 2 days later, my
CORRECT order was received,
then the next day the prepaid
shipper. I also think they had
kept track of all my previous
orders. When the correct order
arrived, there was a note of
apology for the mix up and
inconvience, and 3 sets of the
same brand and gage of guitar
strings I had previously
ordered months ago. There was
no charge for the strings, and
I think that was their way of
saying..we appreciate your
business.. sorry for the mess
up!
Since ive been dealing with
A.M.S, ive purchased guitar
and bass amps, basses,
guitars, studio monitors,
Digital Audio Workstations,
effects processors, tons of
cableing, keyboards, stage
pianos, and thats just to name
some of the things ive bought.
All the guitars ive purchased
from them have arrived in
perfect condition, and, set up
very well and very playable as
soon as opened. The string
height on 2 basses I purchased
had to be raised just a touch,
but, was due to my personal
preference. Im not sure how
fast the shipping would be in
your area. I live in Michigan,
and most things I order from
them come out of New Jersey.
My usual routine with them is
to place an order by 3 pm
e.s.t. on Wednesday,. and I
receive it on Friday. 3 of the
guitars ive ordered did come
from Nevada, as thats where
their other warehouse is at.
Time of delivery if being
shipped from there is 5
business days to Michigan. If
it comes out of Neveda to your
area, think the turn-around
time would be the same as me
getting it from New Jersey.
I will add, the guitars ive
purchased from them have been
on the higher end. I go to the
Guitar Center thats in the
town I live in, try out as
many of the ones they have in
stock that im interested in
buying. If the consistency in
quality and playability is the
same from guitar to guitar, I
then make the purchase from
A.M.S. I refuse to ever buy
from Guitar Center again due
to the unknowlegable sales
staff, lack of service, and
how they handle returns on
defective equipment. Just wish
A.M.S. had the selection of
equipment that Musicians
Friend has. (M.F. is owned by
Guitar Center.)
The payment plan option A.M.S.
offers is great to. No
interest for either 3 or 5
months, and my checking
account is billed every 31
days when purchasing with my
Visa debit card. They are very
consistent in the billing too.
Have never had a payment come
out early or late, and
reminders are sent 5 days
before hand that your account
will be billed for X amount.
Hope this has helped, and I
HIGHLY recommend A.M.S. |

American Musical Supply? |
|
Anyone had experience with the
"easy payment plan" that they
offer? Is it similar to
applying for a line of credit,
or is it different? Thanks! |
|
Yeah, I've used it. It's
pretty sweet. If you place an
order up to I think $1000 they
will just break up the charges
into 3 equal ones and charge
them to your credit card once
a month without applying for a
credit card. If your order is
over $1000 and up to $3000,
you can do 5 payments but they
will do a credit check. Either
way you still don't need to
apply for a credit card, they
just charge a card you already
have. I've used it a lot. I've
only done the 3 payments. Here
is some more detail on the
payment plans.

Musicians Friend vs. AmericanMusical Supply? |
|
I'm going to buy a guitar, amp
and all the goodies. where
should I buy from? |
|
The obvious answer would be to
purchase your gear from
whoever offers it for less.
This isn't as if Musicians
Friend has one type of guitar
and AMS has a different
guitar, which would make
choosing between the two a
little more difficult.
Since they both carry the same
product, the lowest price is
the way to go.
HOWEVER: Musicians Friend is
owned by Guitar Center- if you
have a Guitar Center near you,
they will match prices, and
you'll be able to try out the
gear you're buying.
Buying guitars online is
tricky unless you know exactly
what you want. If you haven't
played the gear you're
planning on purchasing, I
highly recommend doing so.
The guitars neck profile may
be too large or too small for
your hands; you may not like
the tone coming from the amp
when combined with the guitar
you're going to play through
it.
If you have local music shops
in your area, I advocate
purchasing from them instead
of wholesale buyers. Support
the "Mom and Pop" shops. They
will most likely match prices
for you as well.
At the very least, make
certain to try out what you
buy before you buy it. |
