GAS attack on proaudiostar Fender sale

In the USA Proaudiostar is having a Fender sale and it triggered me to have a GAS attack

I've ordered four items, all new:

Fender CD-60SCE Dreadnought 12-string (solid spruce top!) -> $220
Fender Acoustaconic 40W acoustic guitar amp -> $160
Fender Rumble 40W bass amp -> $150
Fender Mustang LT50 50 W guitar amp -> $150

I don't need any of these

but the prices seemed irresistible and I don't have equivalent items already (the only guitar amp I have is an old 5W practice amp). The stuff should be fun to play with, and if I have regrets I could return or sell on craigslist...

Hey, at least I didn't buy an electric guitar! (proves restraint, right?)

Sorry if I provoke anyone to have a GAS attack!

Those are some good prices and buys Des! I went to their site hoping to find a Fender Squire Starcaster Classic Vibe. They had them for $279 but they were listed as out of stock...curses! They do have the cheaper Infinity series for $199. Not exactly what I want but that is also a good price. I put it in the cart to ponder on it for a while, lol. Let's see if I can resist the building GAS.

Those prices are plain evil! You aren't passing gas to other people. You're blowing a warm wind of win!

This is more like a public service announcement than anything else. Too bad i can't make use of this bargain. *somewhere in the distance i can hear small violin playing*

Well, I had a further breakdown and ordered a Squier Classic Vibe 60s Strat -> $250
I could not resist... this will have to be my last purchase for quite a while...

In my defense, I have never owned any kind of strat. All guitar players should at least try a strat at some point, right? For the price I had no choice but to buy now, right?

Congrats, des - those are some great prices!

I hear you. I got my first real stratocaster a few months ago from Amazon. A Classic Vibe 60s Strat in Lake Placid Blue. I thought I got a great deal at $299, but now they really are a great deal! Congrats again!
