Question Music man price list

[studiomaster008]

Hi I'm new to the forum. I have been searching for a Music Man Guitar Price List with Options and haven't been able to find one. I've looked on the M-M website and done google searches to no avail. Anyone know if there is such a list that EBMM puts out?

Thanks for your help.

Price lists are only available to authorized dealers.

Thank you for your response. I'm sorry that is the case. Most manufacturers have a price list for their customers so they can work out what they want on the guitar and calculate the price. This is unfortunate. Music stores are so busy and trying to discuss what options there are along with prices is not an easy task..

Thanks again

It sucks that you can't look yourself, but you can get a general idea of pricing from the internet. There are a lot of dealers here on the forum though, and I'm sure you can talk about pricing with them and get a lot of help there.

It is no problem at all. Just go to Ebay and filter for new guitars. Thanks to MAP and the crazy Ebay policies in effect all the prices will be Music Man's dictated prices, same as in a price list if they had one for you.

Outside the US the recommended prices are set by each country's distributors and some of those distributors do have a price list on their website. But the prices that people really pay in stores are frequently well below those published recommended retail prices, so it's not all that useful. In fact it's been that way for so long that the published recommended prices look ridiculously high.

MSRP has been done away with by all of the big guitar makers as of this past year. G & F post MAPs on their product pages and PRS issues a MAP price list that is available to download on their site, all options included.

So, it would be great if MM followed. Its easy to figure things out be looking at fleabay but not so much for the less common or rarer models.

But MM isn't a 'big' guitar maker. Accordingly they have a network of distributors and dealers in every country to handle marketing, sales, service, etc. That means pricing changes considerably depending on your location.

Anyhow ... it takes all of two seconds to look at ebay, online dealers, etc. and work out prices for what you want, plus or minus a few options. A phone call to any dealer will give you exact info.

Then why make a fuzz about it and withhold the price list from consumers in some countries?
