Have you guys been to the Guitar Center Outlet yet? It's in San Ysidro, right by the border. They have a bunch of scratch/dent stuff as well as close-out and clearance items. It's mostly less popular models, but there was some cool stuff and it's pretty cheap. An AC30 for $500, an AC15 for $370, some discounted drums and cymbals. It's worth a look if you're trying to save a buck!
