Now, Christmas is right around the corner. In only 13 days, the big day will be here and we’ll be drowning in a sea of wrapping paper, fighting over the last roast spud, and drinking too much. Of course, before we get to that point, we need to get the dreaded Christmas shopping done. Now, if you’re looking for one of the best gifts for guitar players, or you just feel like you deserve a treat, then Fender has you covered. Earlier this month, Fender launched its 12 Days of Deals promotion, offering players a six-string themed advent calendar of bargains – and it ends today!

Fender kicked off this brilliant sale with a stellar discount on the Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage and Gold series, which saw the Jazzmaster, Telecaster, and Strat, slashed by 30%! As the sale continued, Fender took their scissors to the price of beginner starter packs, dropping the Squier Stratocaster Pack to only $259.99.
