Guitar Center: Black Friday Sale
With hearty discounts on guitars from Fender and Gibson to a slew of pianos, drum kits, accessories, and more, there is plenty on offer in this epic Black Friday sale!
First up, we have the stunning Martin Special Birdseye X Series Dreadnought. Okay, this isn’t exactly what you think of when you think of Martin, but this Birdseye-topped beauty will most certainly turn heads at the next open mic night.
Next up is the gorgeous Epiphone ES-335 Figured. The ES-335 is a blues-rock icon, and with that fame comes an eye-watering price tag. Luckily, the Epiphone has you covered with the Epiphone ES-335 Figured. This budget-friendly hollowbody features a set of authentic Gibson USA pickups, meaning it not only looks like the real deal but sounds like it, too! Save a whopping $130 at Guitar Center.
Sticking with the Gibson theme, we have to give a shout out to the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V AAA Flame Top in Dark Purple Burst, which has a mind-blowing $700 slashed off the price. The Traditional Pro V is about as versatile as a Les Paul gets, packing coil splits and out-of-phase switches, and comes in a luxurious purple finish. If you're in the market for a bonafide rock machine, this has to be your next guitar.
As part of this huge Black Friday sale, there is also up to 33% off a wide range of pedals, including the classic EHX Big Muff, MXR Sugar Drive, and so much more.
