Music 123 is blowing out Washburn WG 587's right now for $149 if theres any interest. Pisses me off though, I bought one last week for $179. It's actually not that bad of a guitar with a proper set up. With a few mods it be be pretty decent for cheap.

Yep, those aren't too bad, actually.
But I ended up with the Ibanez RG7321 instead. I like the satin finished neck, the nicely sculpted neck joint, and the useful 5 way switch, which is something that a lot of the really cheap 7's don't have.
Still, those Washburns could be good guitars after a few mods. The overall construction (aside from the electronics) isn't too bad.

Ask for the difference. i did that with amazon when i bought my iPod. they went down by 60$ a week and a half later, and i called them, they credited me back 60$.

Isn't Music 123 part of Woodwinds/brasswinds that is in bankruptcy?

yea you can get a price adjustment real easy with them.
@popsyche: yes they are with woodwind/brass. are they really going bankrupt? that sucks, cuz they always have free shipping deals.

Most places do though. My S7320 came with free shipping, too.
It looks like they have been bought by Guitar Center, pending approval of the court.

i meant with no minimum order. most of the stuff i order are just little things like strings and cleaning shit.

Ha, and GC and musicina friend are owned by the same company too..
It's not terribly bad, with a good set up and new pickups you might have a decent 7. I'm going to try to call them today and get a price adjustment. Hell, for $149 you can't really go wrong. The neck is pretty comfy, better fretwork than I've seen on some other imports. It also has 18:1 Grover tuners, I will hang onto mine and put new pickups in.

Avoiding work
I bought one a while back as a backup guitar based on a ton of good reviews on music123. I actually started using it as my main guitar for a while over my RG7260 and Jackson DRT-7. I agree that it could probably use new pickups, but the neck and overall feel of the guitar were a big surprise to me. It doesn't play like a < $200 guitar.
I got one for christmas last year when they were 199 from music123. I think it was a good deal even at that. I quickly put evo7s in it and it made a huge difference. For them money, with a little time they are nice guitars

I've bought Eminence speakers from them, they shipped to Australia.
They're back to $170.99 today. And it's labeled "B-Stock" with no details of what's wrong with it/them and the "Contact Us" page is broken.

Update: If you find the same guitar via the "Guitar Madness"->"Washburn Deals" links, you see all the "regular" models at $149.00 and the "B-Stock" at $170.99. If you find the guitar through the regular search, all that shows is the "B-Stock" at $170.99 and when you view the details, changing the color bumps-up the price to the regular price. The URL's are definitely different. Odd.
