Give the Dealer Locator feature on the Music Man website a try:

Thank you but do the factory sell their guitars? i thought i can get them only through dealers. and another question for you is are they selling it in retail price or not? and I can't find stores through the dealer finder since i'm coming from israel i'm just going on a vacation in SF CA and I want to buy an EBMM JP6 while i'm on it.

Plenty of Guitar Centers around but you'll have to pay up front. Also Dubaldo on the forum here is great to deal with.

 

[YtseJam92]

Wherever you're staying, look up Guitar Centers that are near by that area and take a peak in there, usually they will have them.

Guitar Center

Well I emailed guitar center and they said they could order the exact guitar i want but I'm looking for other dealers to see maybe I can get a better price....

 

[YtseJam92]

I don't know if you could man, unless their used. If you go any other local/small business, they mark up their prices. At least some do. I'd think GC is your best bet.

Bass Central any good?

I managed somehow to find stores on the dealer locator and I found Bass Central offered me a pretty good deal my last question to you guys are are they any good? they seem fine to me but i want to make sure.

Thanks for whoever answer that I may become one of you

Might be finding a GC that already has one in stock, as it takes 6 months or so for one to made to order.

 

[Glasgowdream]

weird they told me it takes 3 months not 6 ... well I want to make sure the dealer i stated before is a good dealer else I'll go for GC I guess

It think it depends on the production schedule - I have not bought a new EBMM for a long time so I am probably wrong!

 

[azazael]

You're name is GlasgowDream, from Israel? and looking for a guitar in San Francisco? lol
Definetly not what i was expecting when I clicked this thread.

I would also give these local dealers in SF a try:

ROCKER GUITARS
1350 HOWARD STREET
SAN FRANCISCO , CA 94103-0000
415-487-1755
415-487-1756 (fax)

HAIGHT ASHBURY MUSIC $
1540 HAIGHT STREET
SAN FRANCISCO , CA 94117-0000
415-863-7327
415-863-1384 (fax)
[email protected]
Haight Ashbury Music Center


Rocker, in particular, has a pretty decent selection I believe.
A common misnomer is the GC has the lock on the lowest price. Not necessarily! Often smaller stores mean smaller overhead. It is at least worth the effort.

Well Bass Central has two white JP's in stock that you could have in the amount of time it takes to ship. Both have piezo, one has a rosewood neck which are real special! The other is the matching headstock.

There's something special about ordering one from scratch too.

Well I recomend DuBaldo music, but I am biased on this subject
