I took my son last August to a local Guitar Center. He wanted to buy his first guitar. He really just wanted me there to help steer him away from poorly made instruments and help him discern something of value.
Now, it had been literally decades since I'd gone into a music store for anything outside of strings and small accessories. But the salesperson (kid) that we dealt with insisted they no longer negotiate price on their instruments. I didn't wanna make an issue of it because I wanted my son's experience to be a good memory, I let it be. But obviously, it still bothers me.
So, is this true? Do we now only pay list price for instruments?
