Guitar Center December Deals: Save up to 40%
Guitar Center is bringing holiday cheer to everything but your wallet with a vast array of deeply discounted goods that run the gamut. A whole raft of electric guitars are 10% off and up, including a pretty serious selection of models from Fender, Squier, and Gretsch. Acoustics are even further reduced and don’t even get us started on the amps, pedals, and other guitar-y ephemera getting in on the festivities. Last run of gift-buying? Or a pre-Christmas purchase for yours truly? Either way, get in while you can; the deals end on December 18th.

Fender Newporter Player LE: $449.99 $349.99
Fender’s acoustic guitars are eminently playable things – and when it comes to this delicious Ocean Teal Newporter Player, there are stunning things to look at, too. This limited edition acoustic-electric benefits from a sweet-sounding Sitka spruce top and a palm-friendly taper C-shaped neck profile; it also benefits from a big ole 22% discount, knocking $100 off its already-tantalizing list price. A folksy phenom with a familiar headstock and a not-so-familiar color scheme!

Gretsch G2655T Streamliner Jr: $599.99 $539.99
Gretsch’s guitars are, in a word, stunning. It’s hard not to double-take when you see one in the wild, especially when it looks as swanky as the G2655T Streamliner. This suave semi-hollow’s combination of small double-cut body and large Bigsby trem is pure class – and the chunkier-fingered amongst us will be glad to learn that small body belies a comfortable, taut 24.75” scale length. 

Eventide Riptide Overdrive & Uni-Vibe: $299 $199
The Eventide Riptide is a two-in-one drive-n-vibe effects pedal that combines the brand’s commitment to quality with a simpler, more familiar stompbox form factor. The Drive channel can go from loose, tube-y breakup to tight, smooth drive in a flash, and the Vibe channel boasts two flavors of Eventide’s powerful Shin-ei Uni-Vibe emulation. Some neat things about the Eventide Riptide: you can switch the order of the effects in a single button press; it’s got stereo outs and a line level pad for the input; you can set presets and recall them with MIDI via USB; and the footswitches are dual-action in case you want momentary control. This thing is too clever for its own good – and for the holidays, Guitar Center has knocked a third off the price.
