HBC: Yamaha guitar package $79

[Dejiko, nyo!]

This seems like a good deal... a "real brand" guitar for less than the el cheapos at Wal-mart and XSCargo. Maybe a good Christmas present for someone? Includes soft case, strings, picks, strap, other goodies.

Hbc.com - Yamaha Complete Acoustic Guitar Package (http://shop.hbc.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=47473&langId=-1)

The same guitar is going for $199 at The Source (http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Guitars&product=4218100) without the extras, and this article lists it as #2 on the list of beginner acoustic guitars. (http://guitar.about.com/cs/acoustic/tp/top5acoustics.htm) So this looks like a good guitar for a good price.

Yamaha's page about the package (http://www.yamaha.ca/content/guitar/products/acousticguitars/F310P/keyfeatures.jsp) claims this is the best-selling guitar in Canada.

Awesome deal! However, I just tried to place an order and received this error message on hbc.com

Your order could not be placed at this time. Please try again later or call Customer Service in Canada toll-free at 1-866-746-7422.

[My2sents]

this is a discontinued model and it would retail for $179. A very good deal for a beginner's guitar. The gig bag alone is worth about $35.

I think that is the package... Tempted.

A Review (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/acoustic_guitars/yamaha/f310/) of the guitar

[gman]

I think I bought the same thing for my daughter from Costco 3 years ago. It was ~$125. Her guitar instructor said it is a good guitar.

[archimed]

ordered! thank you OP and later posters!

[BBucKK]

I tried earlier and I got the error and message to call customer service. Now I get OOS?

[jjboy]

oos for me

[killuminati]

Damn.. its OOS.. I was in the process of ordering too....

[corolla]

OOS in Calgary.

[JP]

Got my order confirmation! :cheesygri

Thanks for the deal

[Acuratl]

f

[Mikeneko]

same thing happened to me.... error message 200 and now OOS..... :mad:

[Amuse]

OOS! I wanted one to learn on :(

[NeilMcduck]

i wonder if it was a price error...does anyone know if these are carried in store?

[dcxx]

I got the 200 error, but i kept clicking order button. after a few trial it went through. :)

[Woah!]

Mmmmmm....plywood.
:|

[spoonss]

Oos

[NeilMcduck]

I think this is dead now...the guitar has been removed from the site.

[kogepan]

Dang too late.

[epiphony]

Mofo! This would have been a great campfire/cottage/practice guitar. >:(

Totally bummed now...

[Conky]

does it include an mp4 player and die cast motorcycle?

[Amuse]

does it include an mp4 player and die cast motorcycle?
haha, but I don't think HBC will scam you.

[jljdaigl]

damn, to bad I didnt see this sooner...I have been wanting a good begginers guitar...oh well :(

[angela44]

OOS now, and the page just shows up as an error! I assume it's an acoustic guitar?

I got a similar deal at XS Cargo when it was on sale for the same price $79.99. It's a Burswood, and I assume this is a good brand for musical instruments. It's working like a charm so far!

[Dejiko, nyo!]

[severe scowl] :evil: :evil: :evil:

D'oh! I knew I should have waited until I picked mine up before posting the deal.

I just picked mine up, and the guitar I got doesn't match the one advertised. The one I got was a Yamaha FD02, which apparently was also sold via Costco in the US. The top is a sort of pale yellow enamel, not the woodgrain finish like on the F310. It didn't include the case and other extras either, just the guitar with strings installed and an allen key. The CSR said she could refund my money, but obviously it wasn't going to do much good to try to exchange it for the F310P at this point.

Probably *still* an *okay* deal at that price, but it sure would have been sweet with the extras. At least I have some time to decide if I want it or not, and return it if need be...

Those who ordered it, please post in this thread about what you receive... But keep your expectations managed, this looks to be less of a deal than we thought... >:(

[archimed]

No prob Dejiko.. I kinda figured this one was improbable. I'll check it out when I pick it up at Zellers anyway.. maybe I'll get lucky?
thanks for the post anyways

sorry dude, but can you idiot proof it for me?
you bought the one pictured (http://shop.hbc.com/fullImage.html?imgPath=/images/catalog/56573702l.jpg&locale=en_US&title=Yamaha%20Complete%20Acoustic%20Guitar%20Pack age) , but got a different model and no extra's?
I got an error and a comfirmation number when i ordered it last night, it'll be interesting if it wasnt the one pictured, especially becuase the had like 3 good quality pics of it including the box. :confused:
thanks,
i will post if/when it arrives

If anyone is still looking for a beginner guitar, there's always this one at Costco: http://www.costco.ca/en-CA/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=10289008&whse=&topnav=&cat=

idiot proof, lol, scratch that :cheesygri it only took me five reads and a post to comprehend. lol

Yeah, that's pretty much the situation. The FD02 model I got doesn't have any of the accessories in the picture, and it has a plain painted face instead of the urethaned woodgrain showing. >:-P

You can compare the instruments side-by-side here: Yamaha Guitarchive (http://www.yamaha.com/apps/guitararchives/guitarchive2.asp)

Link to FD02 page (http://www.yamaha.com/guitars/products/productdetail/0,,CNTID%253D62829%2526CNTYP%253DPRODUCT,00.html)
Comparable F310 page (http://www.yamaha.com/guitars/products/productdetail/0,,CNTID%253D62831%2526CNTYP%253DPRODUCT,00.html)

Anyway, c'est la vie. The worst case scenario is I return it and get my money back, and I'm no worse off. But I'm likely to keep it regardless.

[gordholio]

does it include an mp4 player and die cast motorcycle?

No, this is a Yamaha, not a Zak Wylde guitar. :lol: :lol:

[sonick]

Damn that's hot. I want a folk acoustic (only have a classical acoustic atm).

[NeilMcduck]

At least they didn't send you this guitar:
