Weekly savings on musical equipment: Save $500 on a Victory tube amp, acquire a top-rated Taylor acoustic guitar with a $200 discount, and benefit from the week's finest deals on guitar accessories.
Memorial Day weekend saw a surge in guitar sales, with deep discounts on pedals, amps, and electric guitars at Sweetwater and Fender. The majority of sales have concluded, but a handful of deals are still available, primarily centered around pedals and accessories.
At Sweetwater, their Memorial Day pedal sale is still ongoing, offering massive discounts of up to 50% off. This sale provides an excellent opportunity to fill gaps in your pedalboard, as well as to find affordable guitar amps, electric guitars, and accessories.
Fender has extended their Memorial Day sale, with up to 20% off some of their best guitars and basses. This promotion includes select deals on guitar necks and pedals. Those considering a new guitar should take advantage of this opportunity, as it's unclear how long the Fender Memorial Day sale will remain.
While the main Memorial Day sale at Guitar Center has ended, a new sale has launched, offering discounts of up to 35% on acoustic guitars. This sale features popular brands such as Taylor, Martin, and Epiphone, with one of our favorite acoustic-electric guitars among the selection.
Musician's Friend has concluded their Memorial Day sale but has launched Electric Guitar Month, running through June, featuring up to 40% off top guitar brands like Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Sterling by Music Man, PRS, and many more. Guitarists looking to add a new axe to their collection can find plenty of options at discounted prices.
With Memorial Day deals cooling down, the selection of available sales has decreased, but there are still numerous great deals for those willing to search. We've highlighted some of our favorites in the 'Editor's Picks' section below. Keep an eye out for these and other deals next week when we return with more of the best deals on guitar gear.
