Black friday - Are all guitarists equal ?

Hi, tomorrow is a special day : Black Friday. Will there be any special conditions for non American guitarists, who can profit from a 10% decrease on the Axe FX III price ? Are the guitarists from all around the world equal... or some are more equal than others ? ;-)
