The last two days have seen some fantastic deals come and go, but Amazon Prime Day is now officially over. It was the biggest Prime Day for guitar gear yet, with huge savings on guitars, pedals, home recording gear, and accessories, but alas all good things must come to an end.
If you've woken up this morning realising you missed the whole thing - where were you? Don't worry too much though, there are still a bunch of deals and sales hanging around that you can take advantage of. Whether you want to add something fresh to your pedalboard, buy a brand-new electric guitar, or just stock up on strings, we've rounded up all the best deals and sales that are live right now.
There are still some great deals on guitar gear at Amazon, with plenty of savings hanging around after Prime Day has ended. There's also some remaining sales action from big retailers like Sweetwater, Guitar Center, and Musician's Friend for you to peruse. We've updated our Prime Day guitar deals page too, which has even more savings on individual products for you. Let's get to it!

You'll only find deals in a small corner of the Guitar Center website, but they've certainly filled that corner with the right stuff.

Our particular favorite is the Frankensteined Boss SDE-3000 digital delay, which currently has 100 bucks off.

Bored of tape echo emulations and super clean digital delays? Well, the Catalinbread Csidman is a totally unique delay pedal that’ll freshen up your ‘board. Delivering glitch-heavy, stuttering delays, the standard controls make it easy to dial in sounds that are completely different from the majority of delay pedals out there. It responds to your picking dynamics, giving you increasingly unnerving, feedback-induced delay throws. Not one for traditionalists, this is a pedal for those who like to stand out from the crowd.
