ColonelForbin Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Line 6 just emailed me to advertise the "Lowest JTV Price Ever"; is that just the rebate, or a price drop too? For example, Sweetwater is advertising the price as $850; but that's "after the rebate"; when you add the item to the 'cart' it shows as $999. They are noting a Line6 'savings' of $400.. I guess the prices were around $1200 to $1500 previously? JTV rebate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is always the case, the concept of the "sale" really means the following: "Now we're going to sell you this item for what it's actually worth"...but I digress. As far as I know, the list price has always been $1400, with the possible exception of the 89F, which I think may have been priced a little higher. Regardless, Sweetwater has been selling many of the JTVs, especially the 69's, for $900-$1000 for some time now. Thats what I paid for mine, just about this time last year. Some were scratch n dent models, others probably just older stock that they wanted to move. So at the end of the day, this promotion appears to be just a $150 rebate. $850 is no doubt a good price, just not quite the legendary savings its made out to be.

stevekc Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Buy the Black JTV-69 at MF for $799 $799 - $150 rebate = $649 for a Tyler JTV-69 (?) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/line-6-jtv-69-variax-electric-guitar/h05503000003000?src=3TP4KGC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelForbin Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah, Sweetwater pysched me out with that pricing! I was thinking it was $850 - $150 = $600, but alas, not so. The price on that black JTV69 looks about right; funny how the less popular colors / finishes get the bigger markdown - same guitar, same models, same piezo's.. Too funny.

joec63 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Sweetwater matched the 799 price before rebate for the Olympic White JTV69S on the scratch and dent model. Which by the way didn't have a scratch or a dent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Still waiting for a super cheap 69s maple fretboard JTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teejguitar Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'll through some props at Sweetwater for a great deal on a dent and scratch JTV-59. Just got a nice black one for $799., which brings it down to $649. after the Line 6 mail-in rebate. And I am still looking for a dent or a scratch. But you need to look at the pictures on the Swetwater website carefully. I saw one with a nice gouge on the top. So, be patient, take your time and look at the pics and you can wind up with a sweet deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuskey Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I saw this posted on TGP alluding to Sweetwater buying up the remaining stock of JTV's. Kind of seems like a disco of current models if true. Hopefully leading up to something new around the corner rather than a move away from the technology. Of course this is just from a forum post, so who knows what the truth is. I love my JTV59 and JTV69. I think a part of me would be nervous if they did come out with "new models". I've managed to keep GAS at bay since picking up the JTV69 a year ago. I doubt I could keep it back if new JTV's came out :) Really makes me curious.... "Geez, for a total of $650? That's awesome. If I wasn't jonesing for another guitar that runs for $699 I'd be all over that. About 5 months ago Sweetwater bought out the remaining stock of JTVs (non-USA-made, obviously) from Line6 (according to them). Other places still have stock on hand too.From day 1, I wanted a Goldtop JTV-59. Of course they weren't ever available till the JTV-59p, which I was drooling over. Once I realized that essentially there would be no more, and the only remaining NEW JTV-59Ps were already with the dealers, and that what they had was what they had, I knew I had to move on one.MF, Music123 and some others were all selling goldtop JTV-59ps on eBay only (go to their site and they showed they had zero stock), and the price was $1500. Sweetwater was blowing them out at $999. They had only 1 left advertised on their site. It was a "demo"/blem/open box for $899. I got more pics from them of the "blemishes" (I really can't see them IRL w/o a magnifying glass - no joke).Lets see... Last one left on the planet unless I wanted used, or to pay FULL price with no pics, etc. and $899. I did not happen to have $900 saved up and I was re-financing my house, but when I found out about Sweetwater's 3 monthly installments same as cash, I knew that I had enough to swing that no problem, and there wouldn't be any "store credit card required" that would screw my credit.So I snagged one at that price and it's a great guitar. Great playing and sounding in it's own right, and the Variax just makes it all that much better." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
