This sale is massive, so to make it easier to navigate, we’ve gone through and hand-selected a few of our favourites.

First up is the ideal stocking filler – the D'Addario NS Artist Capo. With two variations available, DADGAD Tuning and Drop-Tuning, this highly reliable capo is very well-made, accurate and with $13.19 knocked off the price, it is now incredibly cheap. Bag yours for only $8.80! 

Next, we have the stellar Walrus Audio Voyager Preamp/Overdrive pedal. This simple three-knob stomp is a breeze to use, is extremely versatile and most importantly, sounds incredible. Right now, you can save a generous $120 at Sweetwater. 

Here at Guitar World, we’re massive fans of the Sterling By Music Man Cutlass CT30HSS, so we can’t help but get excited when we see a sizable discount of $150 applied to the price. Sticking with Music Man, there’s also up to $800 off a range of Sweetwater exclusives, including the John Petrucci signature model! 

Elsewhere on the site, you’ll find up to $500 off a variety of D’Angelico models, up to $1,700 off a range of USA-made B.C. Rich guitars and up to $1,200 off Guild acoustic guitars, which includes the recently reviewed F-55E. So, we implore you to take the time to browse the sale for yourself.
