The Deal: I guarantee the following scenario has happened to every guitarist on earth who has been playing for more than one month.
You’re on stage, in your basement, or in your bedroom. You’re not jumping around. No bicycle kicks or other rock star moves. All you’re doing is strumming along or picking a solo. The next thing you know…your guitar is falling to the ground. Luckily, you grab the guitar’s neck before it hits the floor (hopefully). Then you think, “Man…I should really get some strap locks.” Then you forget about it.
Stop forgetting! They’re cheap, they keep your guitar safe, and now Schaller Strap Locks and Buttons on sale at Musicians Friend. Do your guitar a favor and order these today.
MSRP: $16.99
Regular Price: $16.99
Current Price: $14.44
Savings: $2.55

The Deal: The Audio Engineering Society, now in its sixth decade, is the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology. Their annual convention will be held in San Francisco from October 2-5, 2008.
Guitar Center has made a deal with AES to get their customers into the show for free through a special VIP Exhibits Only Badge. If you’re planning on making a trip to AES, you may want to shell out the extra cash to gain access to other events, such as the Surround Live Symposium. If you live in the area, though, this free pass will get you in to check out all of the new audio gear that’s being introduced.

The Deal: Although they are usually pretty sweet deals, I typically do not post the Musicians Friend Stupid Deal of the Day. This is only for the fact that the deals have such a short shelf life.
I just checked out today’s deal, though, and it really seems worthy of a quick post. They’re offering up 14″X3.5″ Pulse steel piccolo snare drums for just $29.99. From my experience, the Pulse drums are pretty solid (certainly not close to pro level, but they don’t fall apart when you hit them), and for $29, why not???
MSRP: $139.00
Regular Price: $49.99
Current Price: $29.99
Savings: $109.01(78%)
