Mitchell products: prices and price history
Questions and answers
- When does Mitchell go on sale?
- Mitchell discounts mostly appear around Guitar Center's major sales events, such as Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday, and its periodic guitar sales. There is no fixed annual schedule, and the brand rarely discounts outside those windows. Check the price history on each product page before buying.
- Where is Mitchell cheapest?
- Guitar Center and Musician's Friend, which share ownership, usually set the same price, and both run the same promotions. Used listings at Guitar Center and on Reverb are often the cheapest route for the MD200 and MB100. Compare the current price against the product's price history before assuming a sale is real.
- Are Mitchell guitars good for beginners?
- They are built to a beginner budget: the MD200 uses a basswood body, two humbuckers, and a fixed bridge, and the MM100 is a shorter-scale guitar for smaller hands. Setup out of the box is inconsistent, so budget for a professional setup. They are reasonable first instruments but not a long-term upgrade over an entry-level Squier or Yamaha.
- What is the difference between the MD200 and MM100?
- The MD200 is a full-size double-cutaway with two humbuckers and a 24.75-inch scale, aimed at players wanting a Les Paul-style feel at a low price. The MM100 is a mini guitar with a shorter scale and smaller body, intended for children or travel. The MB100 is the bass option, a short-scale 30-inch instrument.
- What is the return policy on Mitchell instruments?
- Guitar Center's standard policy allows returns within 45 days of purchase in original condition, and Mitchell instruments fall under it. Keep the receipt and packaging, since returns without them can be refused. Confirm the current window with the store at the time of purchase, as terms change.
