New Cabs Incoming

[Stone]

Not discontinued at all.

Yes I kind of figured, never trust anything sales people at the retail level tell you

I recently had an L&M guy correct me, telling me “Gibson didn't buy Mesa, they're just distributing them.” I just nodded and said “oh.”

Sounds like L&M is Canadian for “Guitar Center”.

Hahaha yes, maybe even worse

Even worse? Does not compute.

Pretty much, although I think it’s a bit better? I’ve never been in a GC though, so I don’t know. I do like L&M, despite poking fun at it.

I nearly universally hate GC’s. Yes, I suppose you could say I’m biased, but I have attempted many times over the years to buy used items from GC, with about a 40% success rate of functional product. As for new, generally most stuff is too beat up to interest me.

Wow, that sucks.

I’ve gotten some killer used gear at L&M, often at crazy prices.

Off the top of my head:

1959 SLP head
JCM 800 head 2204
JCM 800 combo 4010
Gibson CS 339
Friedman Vintage T P90 Neck
Stiletto Deuce head ($400, crazy deal)
Mark V 90 head


I don’t buy much new, but over the years have gotten some nice stuff, too, but yeah you gotta look and be selective.

But the used stuff can have some great deals, generally if you walk in right after it’s put out, or see it online soon after being posted.

(Doesn’t hurt that I live within 15min of three of them, and there’s another 7-8 about an hour away each, no joke )

Yeah I’ve had crap luck, I guess. I’m still salty ten years later over a busted Mesa Stiletto Ace. LOVE that amp.

In my mind I'm imagining this chain of stores that has one poor bastard in a ratty old truck driving across Canada to distribute all their gear
