From fresh guitars to powerful pickup upgrades there are some superb offers at the official Fender shop - but you better move fast, the sale ends 02/19
Presidents' Day has officially arrived and there are a bunch of sales happening today, but Fender is cutting through the mix by offering a ginormous up to 50% off guitar gear at their official shop. There's a selection of guitars including Strats, Teles, and some offsets too, as well as loads of accessories and upgrades like electric guitar pickups, guitar straps, guitar bridges, and locking tuners, all with significant discounts.
Fender Presidents’ Day sale: Up to 50% off
With such a huge array of items on offer, it’s well worth a browse of the full sale to see if you can bag yourself a great deal in the Fender Presidents’ Day sale. We spied some seriously good deals on a Player Strat, 50% off a guitar strap, and some heavy discounts on upgrade gear like a new Telecaster bridge pickup or a Stratocaster tremolo assembly. The sale ends today so you better move quickly if you want to get your hands on a great deal.
Fender’s Player Strat is one of the most popular guitars in the world thanks to its combination of full-Fender quality and accessible price point. There are two limited edition models in the sale, and the Player Plus Stratocaster HSS caught our eye with a massive 30% reduction, saving you $399 versus the regular price. With a Shawbucker and two Pure Vintage 65 single coils, it’s a super versatile guitar, and we love that it’s got Fender’s locking tuners for added stability when using the tremolo.
If you're not wanting to make a huge purchase for Presidents' Day, you can still pick up some great deals on cheaper items. The Fender Seat Belt strap caught our eye thanks to an absolutely huge 50% discount, taking the price down to just $12.49. It's available in white and red, and at this price we can't see them sticking around for long.
If you’re looking for a beginner guitar, the Fender Bullet Stratocaster HSS HT has a tasty $40 discount in the sale. Already phenomenal value for money, the hardtail bridge gives it much more stability and sustain versus a tremolo-equipped guitar which is great for beginners. The pickup configuration will also make it nice and versatile, great whether they want to play rock, metal, blues, jazz, or anything else.
