|  |     If it's that "Sam Ash exclusive" they've had in their last few flyers,
    it's a Japanese model with some non-standard features (compared to the
    models in the Fender catalogs).  So compare it against the Japanese
    made Strat standards price-wise.

    The thing I'm not crazy about is SA's "no returns" policy.  If
    there's a buzzing fret or something else "minor" (like no damage
    from shipping itself) it sounds like they won't take it back....

|  |     I would think the first rule of purchasing stringed instruments
    through the "mail" --- new OR used --- would be an unconditional
    return period with full refund (w/ or w/o shipping charges).
    
    Actually I think the same should be true of over-the-counter.
    
    If in doubt, walk.  Or be sure.  But how can you be sure if you've
    never SEEN the axe?

|  |     The Strat "S.D." is the Steve D'Andrea signature model...it's set up so
    that if you buy one, you'll want a Les Paul Deluxe......Pat Blair and
    Coop will understand.....8^)

| 2444.5 | You mean I can't return this broken necked guitar? | STAR::SALKEWICZ | It missed... therefore, I am | Mon Feb 24 1992 13:35 | 8 |

    	I agree. It amazed me at first that people would buy instruments
    through the mail,.. but buying sight unseen with no return policy
    is utter insanity,.. unless you've got money to burn I guess,..

	Even if there is a return policy, look out for "Restocking Fees" -
	You can return it, but we're gonna charge you to do it.
