Whether you missed out on Black Friday entirely, or like us the whole thing was over before payday arrived, you can still take advantage of some serious money off with up to 80% discounts on guitar gear at Sweetwater. Whether you’re gifting for someone else or buying yet another pedal for yourself it’s a great place to pick up a last-minute deal, just bear in mind you’ve only got until December 6 to take advantage.
With it being Cyber Week, there’s a definite emphasis on studio gear in the sale overall, but if you look hard enough you will definitely find some great deals on guitar gear. JHS pedals still have a hefty 25% discount across the board, which includes some excellent stompboxes like the Bonsai which gives you 9 flavors of Tube Screamer, and the PatRack which does the same for the super versatile Rat.
Sterling By Music Man guitars have an excellent up to $280 off on select models, including a bunch of John Petrucci Majesty signature models. There are two tasty 7-string models on offer which give you that slinky shred playability with the ability to properly dig in and chug, as well as some six-string versions, and the Axis model is included too.
Finally, we had to point out that one of the most popular gigging guitar amps in the Blackstar HT Club 40 has a massive $300 discount. As far as tube combos go it’s one of the best value-for-money propositions we’ve seen this year and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a gig-worthy tube amp at this price anywhere else. If you’re looking to get up and gigging in the new year then it’s a fantastic choice.
