damn, I HATE guitar canter, i refuse to buy from them. used to work for them, absolutely hated it… i order stuff online from other places who match them as well or come very close, and there are plenty of them. i even know a few places who sell brand new gear much less than GC, B&H audio in NYC being the first that comes to mind. GC was selling the alesis videotrack for around $120 bucks, i got mine from B&H for $30, brand new!!! there's the percussion center in houston that i looooove! 5 star drum shop, and man do they rule. not very big, but great place. interstate music, steve maxwell's drum shops, forks, sam ash, memphis drum shop, and drum center of portsmouth, NH are all fantastic as well.
