Now, the retail giant has pulled back the curtain on a terrific deal on Squier's Stratocaster starter pack. Now $40 off, the pack is now available for just $179, down from its usual $219 price tag.

That means, for just $179, you get a fantastic beginner electric guitar, a 10-watt practice amplifier, guitar cable, strap and a set of picks - perfect if you're just starting out, or have a potential new player in mind.

The Strat features a vintage-style tremolo bridge for classic pitch effects and three single-coil pickups, while the Squier Frontman 10G amplifier comes with both an aux input and a headphone jack.

For beginner guitarists looking for a quick, cheap and dependable bundle of gear to get started, it doesn't really get much more comprehensive than this. You even get a free three month-subscription to Fender Play thrown in for good measure!
