Use this thread to share music related Xmas specials
There are usually a lot of specials at all the stores every year at this time (for some reason ?), unfortunately we don't always get to hear about them, especially the ones from stores not in our area.

Fortunately most of us are subscribed to a mailing list or two and get details of specials from them, so please use this thread to share any good music related Xmas specials you get to hear of by posting details below.

Retailers please note
This is not a free for all for advertising posts. If you are a store and feel your special is worthwhile sharing with us, please PM me a plain list directly. I will then vet them and post them myself. Also note I will not allow or post any vague details or picture ads, we are looking for specific text listings of products, their retail and special prices. No "Everything on special!" or "Strings from...", etc. will be used. Priority will obviously be given to guitars, amplifiers and their accessories as well as recording and PA equipment - basically anything that will be of interest to our members or their families. You are welcome to supply a list including other items, but I reserve the right to trim it if I feel it neccessary.
    ^ Very well played sir! ?

          Next up is Turnkey. This list is so large and there are so many good deals on offer every department that I'm not going to edit it down to just guitars. So I'm afraid you'll have to download the whole 770K Excel file:

          Quite a bit of Vox in there including one AC15 Hand Wired combo for R10K.

            A new Satchurator for R795 and AmPlugs for R400 (these little things rock)!!

              http://www.musicmate.co.za/

              these guys got some things listed on their site. sm58 for 1399-00 doesnt seem bad? And there's a set of drums there I'm thinking of buying.
                I decided to take that demo model Vox Tonelab ST from Turnkey. I figure while I spend time hunting for pedals for a pedal board ( I intend taking my time ? ) the tonelab can supply my effects in the meantime, and the price I think was pretty good. As a bonus, I will now be able to record stuff to PC as well. Been wanting to take part in some challenges but did not have the means.

                  Some of those specials look very good... If your talking about that Mapex kit, I can highly recommend it. I recently bought one like that and it's very good for the money! That price is not bad at all.

                    Do you have the telephone number for Oosthavens Music. I live in the South so Going there for is going to be a bit of a problem unless they have really good specials! ?

                      This is why I prefer actual specials here rather than just notices of sales - everyone has a sale this time of year, but if we know exactly what is on special, we know if it's worth travelling the extra distance to buy something. Good enough specials on bigger price ticket items and it may even be worth ordering from a store the other side of the country and having the item delivered.
                        Do Bothners have a list of things that are on special or will we have to go in and see?

                          Ok Alan, I've deleted my original post to prevent any further confusion until I have exact details.

                            It's go in and see... That's why there's no list from them here.
                              There are many items on special at Andy McGibbons Guitar World in Jo'burg.

                              Some specific examples
