How do they do that? Parts cost me more than that... I guess its a "loss leader", but still...

The email I got was from Musician's Friend. I don't think it's fraudulent...

Not the one you got, but mine, maybe. If Musician’s Friend can buy a guitar for 62.50, then they could still make a profit at 149. I would hope that the Alvarez is a better guitar than Sunil’s.

Even at the “was” price it’s amazing.

Would an all-willow guitar be desirable?

China subsidizes it’s factories… It’s already been marked up three times since it left China ,so they sold it for $30?
