Following our bumper Presidents' Day edition last week, we're back to a decidedly less full offering of deals this week, but that doesn't mean we haven't got some sweet savings for you. There are a couple of sales still lingering from Presidents' Day, plus plenty of fresh deals action available right now. Let's get to it.
Fender has extended their Presidents' Day sale, so you can still bag up to 20% off guitars over at their official shop. It features a bunch of American-made instruments plus some lower-cost Player Plus Series guitars, so there is plenty of choice no matter what your budget.
Sweetwater is still running its Guitar Gallery sale, which features some massive savings of up to 50% off gear. There are loads of big brands included in the sale with reductions on Fender, Taylor, Neural DSP, Line 6, and plenty more. Well worth a browse if you're in the market for something new.
You can also save on Fender gear over at Guitar Center with up to 20% off offerings from the brand. That's the only guitar-specific sale at GC at the moment, but if you're interested in drum gear you can also bag up to 25% off electronic drum kits, acoustic drum kits, and loads of accessories.
Musician's Friend is currently running a used gear sale, where you can grab some massive savings of up to 60% off. There are loads of lesser found items available so if you're looking for a very specific piece of gear, you'll find everything from guitars and guitar pedals to studio monitors and microphones at discount prices.
You can also buy one get one 50% off on selected items, which is a great idea if you want to stock up on accessories. There are oodles of cables, cases, and stands in the sale if you need something to accompany your instrument.
Finally, one for our UK readers. If you head over to PMT's website you can get your mitts on some awesome savings as they're currently running a flash sale with up to 50% off. It includes brands like Fender, Schecter, Yamaha, and Martin, so plenty of choice if you're looking for a discount on the other side of the Atlantic.
That's it for major sales this week, it's actually a pretty good offering considering we were expecting things to die down a little post-Presidents' Day. As always, we've picked out some of our favorite gear for you below. Until next time, happy hunting!

How we choose our deals of the week
Here at Guitar World, we are experts in our field, with many years of playing and product testing between us. We live and breathe everything guitar related, and we draw on this knowledge and experience of using products in live, recording and rehearsal scenarios when selecting the products we recommend.
First and foremost, we are guitarists, and we want to match other players with the right products for them, at the best prices.
For us to recommend a deal it has to be a product we rate that’s a genuinely great price or part of a truly fantastic bundle. It’s also important that we only recommend retailers where you will have a positive shopping experience.
Why you can trust our choices
We spend a lot of our time scouring guitar retailers for fantastic deals on our favorite gear. Not only is it our job to research and recommend the best gear in our buyer’s guides, but we’re also dedicated to helping players get the best deals for the gear they need, too. After all, the only thing better than new gear day is a hearty discount.
We cover a lot of the big sales events throughout the year, including Memorial Day, Black Friday, 4th of July sales and Amazon Prime Day, and we have a good view on which products are likely to receive the biggest discounts and when, the prices they’ve been in the past and which deals are genuinely worth a look.
Where are the best places to shop?
Online shopping is definitely a lot easier and more secure than it used to be, and we like to recommend a small handful of online retailers who have a sterling reputation and offer fantastic benefits like fuss-free returns, great customer service and, in some cases, full checks and setup of guitars before they are dispatched. So, all the deals we’ll recommend on this page are from retailers that tick these boxes.
What sort of deals should I look for?
Great deals come in all shapes and sizes. There are a few key types to look out for:
- Single item - A single product with a great discount
- Site-wide discounts - A single discount percentage on a large range of products across a site
- Discount codes - Load your basket to a certain value and redeem a discount code for money off your basket contents
- Added value deals - These include multi-buy discounts, or additional products or software for free when you buy certain items
