Lastly, about that OM-28A example...there is a segment of buyers, myself included, who would rather do without than to pay up for a production guitar, especially given the boutique and private luthier competition/price points. So no, we wouldn't necessarily buy at the B&M because we got to try it and there was nowhere else to get it cheaper. We would simply walk away, period. Santa Cruz who makes 500 guitars per year may not care that I don't care, but someone like Martin probably does.

I'm sure that's what Fender told dealers up until the day before they launched direct sales.

I have personally spoken with a few larger companies that want to do this exact thing. I can guarantee you that you will not like it if/when it happens

I hope the one was Taylor, they do a great job with communication and customer service. I suspect they could represent their product very well at the retail level.

The return issue is the biggest impediment to online retailers and they know that, so they make it as easy and cheap as possible to deal with. |

Maybe I'm misreading this. Are you saying you paid less than $20 for freight on a full size dread from MF to-you and from-you-to MF?

I'm sure that's not the actual cost, but as I said MF subsidizes return shipping to encourage sales. Online shopping is not instant gratification, and returns are a hassle, so they subsidize the shipping to ease that pain point. |
