We’ve been covering Black Friday guitar deals for many years now and we’ve noticed that official BF sales have been launching earlier and earlier. This year is the earliest in living memory with both Sweetwater and Guitar Center dropping their Black Friday blowouts 2 weeks ahead of the main event and taking us by complete surprise!

So, what's on offer? Sweetwater is currently offering up to 80% off a range of guitar gear, whilst Guitar Center has a more conservative 50% discount up for grabs - both sales include a range of major brands.
