I recommend www.rmcaudio.com. Their Roland prices are great. I have made 4 major purchases from them in the past 8 years.
Roland Fantom G6 (2), G7, VK-8M
Korg M50, CX3

I got my Fantom G6 for $2100 out the door tax included. I found a place online in Colorado for that price and Guitar Center matched it. Some employees couldn't believe I got that deal.

Thanks guys.

speaking of price matching, would guitar center match the price places like bpmmusic.com as madahorn said or rmcaudio?
phil was talking about how he matched it with online prices so i was wondering if those places in online that sells cheapers than the others such as guitar center will match the price?
anyone?

I had Guitar Center Match BPM music once on a product once. It wasn't a keyboard, though. I like giving BPM the business unless I need it same day, which was the case.

You have to talk to the "Right" person sometimes at Guitar Center and you might get it done.

Hey Artemiy! It was a joke but the really funny thing is if it happens to be true.. ;) LOL.. It no doubt pays to run a respectable Roland keyboard forum eh? :) That's okay if you got an FG6 free Art. You deserve it for putting up with all of us and Roland knows a good investment when they see it. :) Keep up the good work Art! Maybe they'll give you an FG version 2.0 for free when it comes out too.. :)

Again, there is not a more deserving person I can think of for Roland to bestow such a kind favor on as you Artemiy. :)

I got my Fantom G7 at a local Guitar Center for basically what MadaHorn paid for his at bpm music. That was before the prices on the Fantom G's went up on June 1st. I can imagine paying $400-$500 more if I bought one at today's prices. I'm also really glad I resolved to get one before the FG price hike too. Even IF the OS was on life-support and I wasn't 100% certain that Roland would have an update anytime soon. ;) BUT, thank God, a week after I bought mine Roland did indeed come through BIG TIME with a major OS update release in version 1.10. :) I'm especially hoping for another major OS update in the not too distant future as well. If Roland comes through BIG TIME again it will really solidify my personal resolve to continue to buy other Roland gear in the future. As a Yammie gear person for many years I'm thrilled that Roland is taking the initiative with the Fantom G and that they acted so quickly to provide the first initial update for it. The Fantom G has enormous potential to be the workstation of choice for novice and experienced users alike, with its intelligent layout and user friendly operating system. Needless to say, there is always room for improvement, and with additional enhancements, extras, and add-ons it could put the Fantom G over the top and will go a long way to convince many other currently sceptical keyboardists to jump on board the Fantom G music train if they haven't already.

FG7 - 2,495.00 (discounted price)
Guitar Center .... late June.
Glad I bought it when I did before the price increase.
Like many have said .... Roland really needs to rework the out-of-the-box preset patches.

Some dumbA$$ from my neighborhood stole his from Guitar Center in East Brunswick NJ. He went in there Like a bank robber(Ski mask/armed).... Had an employee go to the back and wheel out a Fantom G past the front desk (where they check your reciept) and he literally threw it in the back of his pick up truck. Rumor has it when he got home, the screen didnt work because of the blunt force of bodyslamming the damn thing. With that said, he got away with it but he could only hear sound. When I heard that, I installed the Sloman Sheild Home security.....just incase he gets any ideas about my x.
