Title: A great technilogical advancement!

Forget your braided-cloth wire insulation, your PVC, your rubber; Fender now has hemp-insulated cords!

Note that this is from MF's Stupid Deal Of The Day e-mail, so the price in red is today only - so stock up now or pay the higher one.  And no, don't bother your pretty little head over the fact that hemp is easily grown, and concentrate on how hip it is, and thus so worth the price premium over PVC and rubber...........

Technically, this is a Guitar Center “Daily Pick”, not the MF “Stupid Deal of the Day”.  The Daily Picks seem to be a lot less stupid than the MF deals.  In this case, you can get a big $9 discount in the cable from GC!  WOW!  Now, with the discount, I can get this hemp cable for only a little more than twice as much as I usually pay for cables.  SUCH A DEAL!

Bill, tgo

Oops - you're right; wrong daily sale.  The Board was covering the e-mail when I typed; I should have looked back at it.
Oh, well - if that's the worst I screw up today, Florence's voice will get a much-needed rest......

They aren't based in Kentucky by chance, are they? 😊
