zZounds: Independence Day sale
zZounds may be smaller than some of the other retailers here, but its still worth browsing the site as there are some great deals here. I spied some nice savings on Boss and Headrush multi-effects, as well as some less usual guitars than you might find elsewhere. If you’ve tried other sales and not found anything, this could well be the next stop on your deals journey.View Deal

IK Multimedia: Tonex sale
With discounts on the whole Tonex range, this sale over at IK Multimedia is one for all the players who want a quality modeling pedal as part of their rig.

This stunning Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom is a tribute to one of the blues icon’s most coveted guitars, the legendary “Black Beauty.” Inspired by Joe’s late-1950s two-pickup Les Paul Custom, with its original factory-installed Bigsby, this model offers a unique blend of classic style and modern dependability.View Deal

Don't fancy a signature model? Well, this Epiphone Les Paul Custom is for yoy. It's classy, plays great, and more importantly, it sounds killer! View Deal

Based on the Alice In Chains guitarist's beloved "Wino" Les Paul, this stunning signature model features a weight-relieved mahogany body, a figured maple top, a fast, 12" radius bound ebony fretboard and an Alnico Classic Pro humbucker in the neck and 98T Pro in the bridge. View Deal

Man, I love Silver Burst. To me, it's an awesome finish that a Les Paul wears well, and I'd love to see Gibson and Epiphone use it more. Right now you can pick up this excellent example for $200 less! View Deal

The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Figured GC-Exclusive features a carved mahogany body, AAA flame maple top, Iced Tea Burst finish, and '60s SlimTaper C neck. ProBucker pickups deliver punchy tones, while multi-ply binding and gold hardware add elegance. This guitar offers fast playability, clear sound, and timeless style for versatile players.View Deal

This Epiphone repro of the most expensive-ever Gibson Les Paul sold at auction is not only considerably less money, it’s one of the best Epi’s yet: a very fit-for-purpose working Les Paul.View Deal

Next up, we have a whopping $749.75 off a Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V. The Traditional Pro V is about as versatile as a Les Paul gets, packing coil splits and out-of-phase switches, and comes in a luxurious purple finish. If you're in the market for a bona fide rock machine, this has to be your next guitar.View Deal

It’s a very unpretentious guitar, and although it might lack a little sophistication – and ‘modernism’ – the recipe remains timeless. Find a nice one of these, and you’ll have a friend and gigging partner for as long as you want.View Deal

The Gibson Les Paul Modern is sleek, stylish, and highly playable. Gibson has thrown everything they've got at this guitar, and the result is a high-performance Les Paul that is sure to satisfy even the most contemporary player.View Deal

For first-time players or anyone looking to add a Strat to their arsenal without breaking the bank, it really doesn’t get much better than this in this price range. It’s snappy, vibrant, and resonant, and the Tahitian Coral poplar body gives it a lighter, airier vibe that really suits unplugged playing. The maple neck is a comfortable C profile that feels familiarly playable. The guitar also held its own when plugged into a Fender Blues Junior.View Deal

Mooer has been around for a while now, evolving from a budget Chinese brand into a fully-fledged guitar brand in its own right. This Mooer GE150 budget multi-effects is a great option for players looking to make a deeper foray into guitar playing, thanks to 55 different amp sims, 26 cabinets, and 151 different FX, making it very complete indeed. Add in a looper, multi-function footswitches, and a built-in drum machine, and you've got everything the budding guitar player needs for way less than $130, an absolute bargain in anybody's book.View Deal

What you’re getting here is a pedal that can supply the signature sound of 11 different amp types – a mix of some named favorites and some more generic Boss creations – each of which has an associated cab IR from Celestion Digital, although you can load alternative IRs into the pedal using the free, dedicated IR-2 IR Loader app for Mac OS and Windows. View Deal

A fully analog delay that's small enough to fit on any pedalboard for only $30? Yes please. Featuring warm repeats, a robust aluminum-alloy enclosure, and true bypass switching, this pedal is a steal at under $40! View Deal

The Boss BD-2W Blues Driver is another firm favorite here at Guitar World, delivering tube amp-like tone and feel in a tiny yet durable enclosure. It can do everything from clean boost to full-on saturation, is super simple to use, and reacts brilliantly to your guitar's volume control and your picking dynamics.View Deal

The Boss DD-3T is an updated version of one of the most popular digital delay pedals of all time, adding a much-requested tap tempo input which didn't feature on the original DD-3. It's got a direct out for wet/dry setups, easy access to set delay times via the mode knob, and even a short looper mode.View Deal

I was pleasantly surprised by the Flamma FC05 Mini Modulation pedal when I tried it. There are a lot of different sounds available, thanks to 11 different flavors of modulation, and while not all of them will blow you away, there are some really fantastic tones here.

I particularly enjoyed the chorus, tremolo, phaser, rotary, and auto wah tones, and thanks to the three controls, you can get a lot of flexibility, whether you want something subtle or you want to really alter your tone to something otherworldly. It’s also a great buy if you’re not sure what modulation sounds you like, and fancy trying them all out before committing to individual stompboxes.

It's got 20% off in the Prime Day sale, and when you factor in that it's essentially 11 different pedals in one, that works out at $2.90 per effect. Stupendous value!

Bigger budget? Try this: Zoom MS-50G+MultiStomp, current price $109.99 (100 top-quality effects)View Deal

If the Waza CE-2W is a bit too steep, this Boss CH-1 Super Chorus is available for a lot less thanks to a Prime Day discount. It's full stereo, delivering a chorus tone that helps you cut through a busy mix, whether you want those classic 80s chorus tones, vibrato, or even flanger-style sounds.View Deal

The Boss RE-2 Space Echo is a compact version of one of the most legendary tape delay units ever manufactured. It's a sound that's been on countless records over the years, now super easy to use and stick on your pedalboard. It's got 11 different modes, so there are plenty of options for carving your tone, and it even models the spring reverb section of the original unit. The Wow and Flutter controls the tape waver, delivering delicious modulated sounds, and you can balance the echo and reverb sides of the pedal, making it super flexible.View Deal

The Boss CS-3 Compressor/Sustainer was a staple on my pedalboard when I was playing in an indie band. I used it to even out the picking dynamics on the arpeggiated chords I was frequently playing, and as a solo booster for enhancing sustain.View Deal

The ProCo Rat has always been one of my go-to distortion pedals. I’ve cycled through a few different versions over the years, but it’s been a while since I actually had one on my board. So, I was pretty stoked to see what Joyo could pull off with their take on this classic circuit.

Plug it in, and you can easily dial up everything from punchy, crunchy rhythms to full-on fuzz mayhem, all with that unmistakable Rat snarl. Sure, it’s a bit fizzy for my taste, and the gain knob doesn’t sweep as evenly as the original, but there’s definitely some cool tones in there if you’re willing to mess around and find the sweet spots.

What really sets the Splinter apart are the two toggle switches: FAT and MOSFET. As you’d expect, the FAT switch fattens up your sound with a massive low end, which is awesome for chunky riffs or making your leads really pop. The MOSFET switch changes up the clipping, so you can go for a softer, vintage feel or stick with the stock setting for more bite.

Again, just like with the American Sound, I don’t totally trust these footswitches. But honestly, for $31.99, you can’t really complain. It’s a crazy good deal for what you get.View Deal

The Boss SL-2 Slicer is one of the company's more unique pedals, letting you chop up your tones in a variety of rhythms to produce some really incredible sounds. A massive 88 onboard patterns means plenty of choice, it does full stereo operation, has MIDI for syncing with drum machines or a DAW, plus the attack and duty controls will let you really get into the nitty gritty of your tone shaping.View Deal

The Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter is a classic phaser pedal, delivering a wide range of effects in the typically durable Boss compact stompbox enclosure. It's got multiple options for stages with 4, 8, 10, and 12-stage, so you can run the gamut from classic phaser sounds to incredibly deep and intense guitar tones. One really cool feature is unidirectional mode, which makes it sound as though your guitar is continuously going up or down in pitch!View Deal

Want to make your electric sound like an acoustic? Well, the Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator is your friend. Of course, it doesn't sound totally like an acoustic, but it gets pretty damn close for my money. Use it as the first pedal in your chain, and watch your guitar turn from electric to acoustic before your very eyes!View Deal

This Boss TU-3W Chromatic Tuner is the upgraded version of the legendary TU-3, a tuner pedal that's graced countless 'boards over the years. The buffer circuit has been refined and can be turned off if you prefer true bypass. An additional brightness mode has been added for outdoor playing, and it supports both guitar and bass with specific tuning modes.View Deal

This Positive Grid amp is widely considered the best practice amp out there, and right now you can score20% off on Amazon!

Positive Grid continued its innovative streak with the launch of a new pair of affordable headphones housing their pioneering Spark software and enabling supercharged, quiet home practice. Now the Spark Neo Core cans are available with a 38% discount, making them only $99 for a limited run. In our 4-star review, we said that the Spark Neo Core “Offers realistic and immersive guitar tones”. View Deal

Speaking of strings, if you want to make yours last longer, then wiping down after every playing session with D'Addario XLR8 String Cleaner will ensure you get much more out of your string sets. Every time you play, sweat, dirt, and grime from your hands go onto the strings, drastically reducing their life span, and the resulting black gunk you get on your strings is a direct result of that. Available for just $6.49 at Amazon, when used regularly this cleaner will make sure your strings stay fresh for longer.View Deal

For the acoustic guitar players out there, this Ernie Ball Earthwood Acoustic Guitar Strings 3-pack has got a wicked 15% discount. Working out at just $5.10 per pack, it's a great value way to stock up on strings for the future, or outfit more guitars in your collection for less.View Deal

Personally, I never miss a chance to bag a new set of strings at a discount, as I go through them like wildfire playing with my band and recording in my local studio. These D'Addario XL strings are super value for money at the moment, with a three-pack costing just $15.99 at Amazon, which works out to just $5.33 per pack.View Deal

If you’re still chaining your pedals together on the floor then this is the deal for you. The Donner Pedal Board is low cost and it includes an integrated power supply which saves you having to buy and fit one separately. The wooden sides give it a classier look than your average all-black construction, and it includes a carry bag so you can take it to rehearsals or shows. For guitarists looking for their first pedalboard, this is an awesome deal and although it's not as cheap as it was during Prime Day, it's still got a very decent 10% off at the moment.View Deal

If you feel like changing up your guitar playing a bit this year, adding a guitar slide is a great way to open yourself up to some fresh techniques. I picked up the slide a few years back when I hit a rut in my playing, and even just for subtle little things, it made a huge difference. A simple solo suddenly took on a whole new timbre, sliding it down the strings with masses of effects pedals, resulting in some otherworldly sounds. This Ernie Ball Slide is just $8.99 in the early Prime Day sales, so well worth a punt if you fancy experimenting with your guitar tone.View Deal

Chinese brand Donner is one of the contemporary poster-children for music-gear accoutrement, and the patch cable market is no different. Here, for your Prime Day perusal, is a six-pack of Donner’s 12in flat-patch cables, with thin plastic ends for fitting snugly in your tight pedalboard. That extra length is welcome for accommodating pedals with different jack socket locations, too! For Prime Day, they’re 10% off at $18.94 per pack.View Deal

These Craftman Allen Wrenches will cover any guitar setup scenario you're ever likely to face, thanks to the mix of imperial and metric sizing to cover guitars made in different places. The bottom end of them is rounded off, which is super handy for getting into places where you can't necessarily go straight into the slot, and a universal T-handle adapter gives you extra leverage when you need it. They’re over 50% off at the moment, making them an absolute bargain. Buy these, and you'll never need another set of Allen wrenches again.View Deal

There aren't many discounts on string winders in the Prime Day sale, mainly because they're so cheap anyway. If you're all about getting as much value from your money as possible, however, this Powered by Rock Guitar String Winder has a cheeky 5% discount to save you a tiny bit more money. It's part string winder, string cutter, and peg puller, making it a versatile tool for any guitar player's gig bag or tool kit. It's bright red too, which immediately makes it better than a black one.View Deal

Before I ever soldered anything, it seemed like this scary thing that only experts could do. As part of my music production course, one of my tutors took me through the process, and there was one thing that really surprised me. Soldering is actually a ridiculously simple process once you know how. It takes seconds, literally, to solder a joint. The most common repair I have to do is output jacks. Because they’re so frequently used, they’re one of the first things to go on a guitar, but they’re so easy to repair that it’s hardly worth the cost of taking it to a tech, especially when you can pick a soldering kit like this Yihua 60-Watt Soldering Iron for less than $40.View Deal

These Workpro Wire Cutters are fantastic for cutting strings and will do any gauge of string, even those on a bass. They're lightweight, but the grippy handle gives you plenty of leverage, while the hardened cutting edges ensure it'll make light work of old strings. For just $9.99 in the Amazon Prime Day sale, this is a must-buy for anyone working on their own guitars.View Deal

You're probably thinking, over $25 for a ruler? Well, it is more expensive than the cheaper ones on Amazon, but there's a good reason for that. The first thing is that Stew Mac takes the time to ensure that the edge is a 'true zero', meaning it's far more accurate than cheaper stamping machines can do. When we're talking fractions of an inch, that matters a lot. The satin finish also makes it easy to read under any light, making it much more useful than many of the cheaper, chrome options available. It's normally just below the $40 mark, so well worth picking up at this price in the Prime Day sale.View Deal

A capo is often an overlooked tool for setting up guitars that comes in handy for a variety of things. I use a capo for measuring the action on a guitar, checking the neck relief, looking at the nut slot height, as well as shimming and bridge adjustments, without having to remove the strings. A capo can also double as a handy desktop stand for headphones or cables! This Kyser Quick Change Capo has got a 12% discount in the sale, and is actually good for literal use as a capo!View Deal

This screwdriver is an absolutely amazing tool that will cover everything you're ever likely to face when setting up a guitar. With the addition of star keys, too, it also covers your interactions with other music gear like pedals and amps. The extra screw ends are stored in the handle, so less chance of losing them, plus you can use it as an impact driver attachment with your drill. For just $17.99, this is one tool no guitar player should be without.View Deal

File sets are typically pretty expensive, and if you're doing proper luthier work, then I would recommend a Hosco or MusicNomad set for cutting brand new nuts or crowning frets. If you just want to slightly adjust your nut, however, this BeiXu File Set will do the job. It comes with a variety of fret dressing tools that are a great option for anyone who wants to get started doing fretwork or adjust a nut without having to spend hundreds of dollars on a file set.View Deal

If buying all of these things individually seems like a pain, or you just don't have the budget for it, this cheap Micling 72-piece tool kit on Amazon isn't bad considering what you get. These tools won't last as long as the ones I've listed above, but for just $11.99, I don't think anyone is expecting them to last for decades. It includes everything you need to set up a guitar: hex wrenches, files, string action rulers, radius gauges, feeler gauges, and a nice bag to store it all.View Deal

The headline discount from the sale is $600 off this Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster. Part acoustic and part electric, this hybrid instrument offers some genuinely unique tones, whilst retaining that classic Fender playability. I really love the expanded body size versus the Strat and Tele models (the Tele is also available in the sale) and the humbucker, which provides some sumptuous tones.View Deal

Fender has been courting a lot of controversy lately, and there were definitely those who felt stung when they took over Studio One and turned it into a more guitar-centric DAW. For guitarists, however, it’s great to have software more focused on our own instrument. With this bundle, you get the Fender Quantum LT 2 audio interface and six months of access to the full Fender Studio Pro software. With dual inputs, plenty of headroom, and an instrument designed specifically for guitars, this is a great way to record a DI alongside a mic’d guitar amp.View Deal

While a compressor pedal probably isn’t the most exciting purchase you’ll ever make, it can certainly have a large impact on your playing and tone. Used correctly, a compressor evens out the dynamics of your playing and can be used to subtly enhance your sound, or completely squash it for those spanky funk guitar tones. The blend control makes it super flexible, and this Fender The Bends Compressor has got a huge $75 off in the sale, meaning it’s sitting just above the $100 mark.View Deal

This Fender Limited Edition California Vintage King in Antigua is super value for money thanks to a massive $290 off. The all-solid construction makes it an absolute steal, with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides. The ‘V’ profile neck offers excellent playability, and it’s got Fishman Presys VT Plus electronics so you can gig it. Just to sweeten the deal, it also comes with a hard case.View Deal

Fender’s The Pelt Fuzz may have been around for a while, but it’s still great today, and with $74 off, superb value for your money. It’s a square-wave silicon transistor fuzz pedal that offers loads of control thanks to some additional switches and knobs. The bloom knob allows you to control the attack of the fuzz, while the thick and mid switches offer extra tonal control, making this a very versatile fuzz pedal for the money.View Deal

With a ginormous $700 reduction, this is one of the biggest savings I’ve seen in the whole sale. It’s got some very clever switching options, which means alongside the classic PAF tones, the humbucker offers you can also unlock single-coil sounds, making it a lot more versatile than it appears at first. It’s also got a compound radius fretboard for easier playability, flattening as you move further up the neck. If you want to own a proper LP that can do a few extra tricks, then this is a great way to get one for a lot less. Check out what we thought in our Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V review.View Deal

Ernie Ball's premium Paradigm guitar strings have a sweet discount at Guitar Center, with 33% off, taking them down to just $9.99 a pack. They boast a much higher tensile strength than normal Slinkys, making them ideal for players with a heavy right hand. They're treated too, which should make them last longer than a normal uncoated set of strings.View Deal

This Fender Player II Strat HSS is a super versatile instrument that’s ideal for players who want a gig-worthy guitar without spending north of a grand. With $230 off the price in the GC Guitar-A-Thon sale, this limited edition version is incredibly affordable and comes with a proper rosewood fretboard and rolled fingerboard edges for a super comfortable playing experience. The HSS pickup configuration is really versatile as well, so you can cover a lot of ground with this instrument.View Deal

With three iconic Tube Screamer circuits in one unit, the Warm Audio Tube Squealer is a great addition for anyone who wants to add these famous mid-hump tones to their pedalboard. At just $119 in the sale, it’s less than an actual TS808 and only slightly more expensive than a TS9, and considering it has both of these circuits and the TS10, that makes it an absolute steal in my book.View Deal

If you love the look of an iconic jumbo but don't have the space for one, this Epiphone J-200 EC Studio Parlor is an amazing travel/sofa guitar that looks absolutely stunning. It's got a hefty $109.80 off in the Musician's Friend Spring Sale, making it a great option for players who want a comfortable acoustic for songwriting and practice.View Deal

This stunning-looking Vox AC10 Custom has got a gigantic $250 off in the sale, making it a great shout for anyone who wants those classic chime tones without having to spend loads. It’s relatively light and compact for a tube amp, and gives you those lovely airy tones Vox amps are famous for. Whether it’s ripping leads or crunchy rhythm tones, it can handle them all, and it definitely sounds its best when cranked.View Deal

If you’re looking for a cheap practice rig to pair with some guitar amp headphones, this Line 6 POD Express is a great shout at just $129.99 in the sale. It packs all the quality HX tones of the larger offerings from Line 6, but in a super compact chassis that can be popped into a gig bag or backpack and taken on the road. It’s a brilliant all-rounder, capable of playing multiple roles no matter what type of music you’re into.View Deal

At nearly half price, this deal on the Electro-Harmonix Ehxtortion JFET Overdrive is excellent value if you want to add another gain stage to your pedalboard. Packing in an overdrive and separate boost section, you can do everything from low-gain drive to full-on metal distortion with this bad boy, and it’s down to just $119 in the sale thanks to an $84.20 reduction. View Deal

This all-solid Martin GPC Grand Performance acoustic guitar has been heavily discounted in the Guitar-A-Thon sale, reduced by a massive $200. Coming in at well below a grand, it’s incredible value for an all-solid acoustic with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid sapele sides. The single cutaway makes it a comfortable player, and the Grand Performance body shape has the depth of a dreadnought but a narrower waist, putting it in the sweet spot for Martin acoustic body sizes.View Deal

If you like your Les Paul’s a little less traditional and a bit more ‘metal’, this amazing-looking Epiphone Les Paul Custom Widow might just take your fancy. It’s got a nice $160 discount in the sale and is exclusively available at Guitar Center, so you won’t find this particular finish anywhere else. Dual ProBucker humbuckers deliver searing tones for rock and metal, and it’s got CTS potentiometers as you’d find on a more expensive Gibson model. Grover tuners and a Locktone tune-o-matic bridge make up a rock-solid hardware offering, making this a great guitar for gigging on a budget.View Deal

The Vintera II deals have been going for a while now, and they’ve all but died out apart from this one. A colleague of mine reviewed the Fender Vintera II Antigua Strat and really enjoyed the fact that the hardtail bridge makes it an incredibly stable player. It delivers all of those bold Strat tones we know and love, and although divisive, we think the Antigua finish is actually pretty nice. It’s below a grand in the sale thanks to a huge $390 reduction, so well worth picking up as one of the last Vintera II deals still going.View Deal

Thomann Spring Sale: Up to 60% off
Shopping in the UK and fear missing out on the action? Don't worry, because the Thomann Spring Sale is the place to bag yourself a deal on something that will inspire your guitar playing throughout the rest of the year. With discounts on brands like Gibson, Fender, Universal Audio, and many more, it’s easily one of the biggest and best sales of the year so far.View Deal

I see a lot of this stuff on touring players’ pedalboards. Whether it’s marking pedal settings, used on multi-switchers to denote which switch does what, or just making out space for certain pedals to be placed, this glow-in-the-dark tape is a less thought-of, but extremely useful hack for your ‘board. With 30% off in the sale, it’s down to just $6.98, an absolute bargain for organizing your rig.View Deal

I can always use more patch cables, and as I have a multi-switcher, the longer ones are now infinitely more useful to me than shorter cables. This 3-pack of Ernie Ball Flex Patch Cables is down to just $21.10 at the moment, and having tested loads of these for our guides, I’ve found them to be amongst the best out there.View Deal

Boasting a strength 5x that of traditional hook and loop, this 3M Dual Lock Tape is ideal for strapping down pedals or cables securely, whilst remaining easily removable. If your pedalboard doesn’t already have hook and loop on it or you frequently move your pedals around, it’s a great choice for a strong bond that doesn’t require the strength of Hafthor Bjornsson to take your pedals off. It’s also useful for attaching pedalboard power supplies and other cabling. It’s not got a massive discount in the sale, but at $18.95 it’s pretty good value for money.View Deal

I prefer to use reusable cable ties on my board versus the more permanent ones because they're far easier to remove in the event of a failure. Cables dying is unfortunately a fact of touring life, as is having to rejig all your pedals to add something new to your setup or replace something broken, so doing your cable management with these makes it much easier if you want flexibility. These reusable cable ties are nearly half price in the sale, and you get 60 in a pack, which means each tie costs around $0.10.View Deal

I just bought some of these exact zip tie mounts for my own pedalboard, in order to route cables underneath my board. If you’ve got a complex signal chain with pedals in effects loops or a loop switcher, then these are an absolute godsend for keeping everything in order on the other side of your pedalboard. It’s a small discount, but at just $9.99 normally, it’s not as though these are hugely out of reach for the majority of guitarists.View Deal

If you’d rather have classic Velcro to attach your pedals, then this deal on Velcro Heavy Duty tape is ideal for guitar players looking to secure their pedals. It’s got a decent 20% discount, and you get 16 feet of tape, which should keep you going for a good while. Velcro offers an excellent hold, to the point it can be difficult to get your pedals back off, so if you want security, this is the stuff to go for.View Deal

Cheap patch cables are pretty good these days, and these AA Audio Accessory Patch Cables are very well reviewed on Amazon. This deal gives you four, six-inch patch cables for just $15.99, which works out at just $3.99 per cable. They’ve got gold-plated connectors and have a flat patch design, which will make them easy to work into even the tightest spaces between pedals.View Deal

I use footswitch toppers on my own ‘board, not for protection, but to make it easier to hit the right pedal in the chaos of a live show. Toppers give a much more tactile feel than the regular footswitches on most guitar pedals, and they’re really handy if you use them on the pedals that are furthest away from the front of the ‘board. These ISDVBUY Footswitch Toppers have a 10% discount, taking them down to just $4.49, and you get ten black and ten white, with each costing just $0.22.View Deal

A pick tin is one of those things guitarists don’t often think of when building a pedalboard, but for me, it’s an essential part of my setup. I don’t particularly use it that often, but it’s come in very handy on a number of occasions when I’ve reached into my pockets only to find there are no picks present. Just pick up a bulk of your favorite gauge of guitar picks and store them in there for a rainy day. This Fender Pick Tin looks better than your average pick tin and comes with 12 Fender 351 picks in thin, medium, and heavy gauges to cover all needs. With a 21% discount, it’s just $16.49, which is an absolute bargain.View Deal

Clip-on tuners have come a long way in the last few years, and I see more and more guitarists using these handy guitar tuners for live shows. This Fender FCT-2 Clip-On Tuner was already pretty cheap, but it’s got a 17% discount in the sale at the moment, taking it down to just below the $20 mark. It’s simple and effective, working for a variety of different instruments, whether you play acoustic, electric, bass guitar, ukulele, or anything else.View Deal

If there’s one thing you’re always going to need more of, it’s electric guitar strings. Whether you’re stocking up for upcoming shows or you want to spring clean your guitar collection and outfit multiple instruments with a fresh set, this deal on Ernie Ball Regular Slinky’s is the one to go for. Reduced by 19%, you’re getting each pack for $5.49, which quickly adds up to a killer saving when you start buying multiple items. The deal is only available on the Regular Slinky and Super Slinky 4-packs.View Deal

If you’re a Fender fanatic, then this deal’s for you. This Fender Spaghetti Logo T-Shirt is nearly half price, thanks to a huge $14.39 discount. Great for showing your support for your favorite brand, it is only available on the small-sized shirt in Surf Green, so it will only fit a very specific type of guitar player.View Deal

A buy that will keep your guitar playing better for a considerable time, this D’Addario XLR8 String Cleaner is my pick of the bunch, a cheap, useful accessory you can keep in your guitar case or gig bag to be used anytime you play. Once you’re done with your guitar simply use the cleaner across the strings to increase their lifespan, getting rid of the gunk and sweat your guitar picks up over time. A 38% discount takes this down to just $6.49, making it the cheapest accessory here.View Deal

We guitarists lose guitar picks all the time, so stocking up on a multi-pack helps stem the tide for that dreaded day when you can’t find your ideal pick gauge. This deal on the ever-popular Jim Dunlop Tortex Jazz III Pick gives you 12 picks for just $7.86, which works out to just $0.65 per pick. They come in a very nice white colorway, too, making them easier to spot when you inevitably drop them. The deal is also available on the 1.5mm if you prefer a thicker pick.View Deal

This guitar audio interface is absurdly cheap at just $29.99, allowing you to practice and record your guitar with your mobile device and a pair of headphones. You can connect via the headphone input on your phone, or if you don’t have one, then it will work with a 3.5mm jack to USB-C converter. The only caveat is that the mobile version of the Amplitube app only works on iOS, so Android users will have to use a third-party software to get their tones.View Deal

If you’re the sort of guitarist who constantly loses their picks, then this is the deal you need to pick up in the Amazon Spring sale. With 100 D’Addario Duralin Precision guitar picks costing just $28.10, you’re getting each pick for a measly $0.28, which is insanely good value for money. The deal is available on the 0.6 and 0.5mm picks, so if this is your preferred pick gauge then it’s an absolute steal.View Deal

Jimi’s original started life with a sunburst finish before he sprayed it black and hand-painted the ‘Love Drops’ design himself.

It looks fantastic, plays well, and sounds superb, particularly in the neck position.View Deal

Guitars don’t come much classier than this limited-edition Inspired By Gibson Epiphone "Tuxedo" Les Paul Custom. Thanks to the Antique Ivory finish, it's a drop-dead stunner, and it’s got the tones to match, which arrive courtesy of the creamy ProBuckers.

For us, the Boss RC-1 Loop Station is a really easy-to-use looper pedal with great functionality, 12 minutes of record time, stereo ins and outs, and superb build quality. This pedal is perfect for simple looping in a live performance setting or for writing.
View Deal

The Boss DS-1 Distortion is an absolute classic of the genre. Stomped by everyone from Kurt Cobain to Joe Satriani, its affordability and rampant gain have made it one of the most popular guitar pedals of all time. Perhaps that’s why I’ve owned two in my lifetime, after regretting selling the first – but, incredibly, I’m now considering buying another.View Deal

Whether you need a great variety of expressive tones for performing on stage or want to create entirely new signature sounds, the Boss GT-1000 delivers extremely powerful guitar tone and effects capabilities in a stage-worthy, portable, all-in-one rig package.

It might not be as exciting as a new guitar or pedal, but quality guitar cables are a must for any guitarist. Over at the Musician's Friend early Black Friday sale, we spotted this Boss Instrument/Patch cable bundle with a nice $10 discount. It features a single instrument cable and two patch cables, making it a great buy for guitarists who need to stock up for less.View Deal

The Boss Katana is arguably one of the most revered practice amps of the last few years, and it’s easy to see why. Loaded with top-notch effects and amp models as well as three power settings, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better practice solution on the market. View Deal

Tthe Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen delivers a great balance of features, performance, and software offering. Its low-latency performance is simply phenomenal, and you can get it to go below 5ms on Mac, which is incredibly low considering the price. It’s great on Windows too, with one of the most robust drivers I’ve ever encountered. Add in some cool features like clip safe and auto gain modes alongside significant improvements in AD/DA conversion, and there’s a good reason it sits in the top picks of my guide. With a nice $30 off over at Sweetwater, it’s the ultimate interface for the vast majority of music makers out there.View Deal

The Audient iD4 MkII is a fantastic bit of kit, and I actually still use it as my travel interface when I need to mix on the go. It’s compact, easy to use, and delivers top-quality sound as you’d expect from a company that makes consoles for professional studios. I love the dual headphone outputs which allows for quick and easy collaboration, and I picked it out as a great option for beginner mixers who want something easy to use, but with enough room to grow into as they develop their craft. It’s currently got a cool $30 reduction in the Guitar Center sale, so if you’re looking for a great all-rounder they don’t come much better than this.View Deal

If you want something a little more ‘pro’, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin X is the step up you’ve been looking for. I use its bigger brother, the X4, as my daily in my home studio, and when I was reviewing the Twin X I really loved the analogue style workflow it encourages you to take on. By harnessing the DSP power within the interface itself, you can offload processing from your computer to the interface itself, allowing you to place plugins on the input path like you would in a proper studio. It’s got a huge $200 discount at Sweetwater right now, so if you’re ready to step up to the big leagues, then this is the interface for you.View Deal

For those who primarily record guitars, the IK Multimedia Axe I/O is the ultimate guitar audio interface. It’s got some properly cool guitarist-friendly features, like the ability to switch the input for active or passive pickups, an impedance control for changing the high-end content, a dedicated reamp out for changing those DI tones, and it even has a built-in guitar tuner. It’s got a ginormous $100 off at Sweetwater in the Black Friday sale, so if you want to upgrade the way you record your guitars, this is my favorite interface for guitarists.View Deal

I picked out the SSL2+ MKII as a great interface for recording vocals, because SSL preamps are known for being ultra-clean. This is certainly the case with what’s an offer here, but there’s also some additional functionality that I think makes it particularly well-suited for singer-songwriters. The dual headphone outs are great for collaborating with others on tracks, and with dedicated volumes for each, you can set a perfect balance for you and the vocalist you’re working with. The built-in low cut for each track is also super handy, allowing you to get rid of any low-end rumble you might get from your singer moving around whilst they deliver their take. With a nice $50 reduction in the Guitar Center sale, it’s a great time to pick up this interface and upgrade the sound of your recordings for Black Friday.View Deal

Whether or not you’ve already got a Strat in your collection, this is one of those deals that’s impossibly hard to pass up. Fender’s offering a limited-edition Forest Green Player II Stratocaster for less than $600, at a huge 30% discount from retail – the lowest this guitar has ever gone. For that miniscule investment, you get an alder-bodied, maple-necked masterpiece in a unique color and with a classic approach to Strat tone. Impeccable.View Deal

Fender’s limited-edition Player II Telecaster gets the discount treatment too, coming in at a 30%-discounted price of $587.99. Again with an alder body, maple neck and slab rosewood fretboard, this Tele makes for a modern-looking, vintage sounding work of art. The Fender Alnico V pickups do some heavy lifting as far as tone goes, while the modern C-profile neck makes fast playing an enjoyable breeze.View Deal

If you really want to push the boat out this year, this Gibson Les Paul 68 Custom Reissue has got a cool £309 reduction in the Thomann sale, letting you own a Gibson Custom Shop model for less. With 68 CustomBuckers, Kluson WaffleBack tuning machines, CTS potentiometers, and a no-wire ABR-1 bridge, this is a thoroughbred LP through and through.View Deal

I’ve used quite a few Joyo pedals over the past few years and they really are superb value for money, even at full price. This Joyo R-07 OMB has got a hefty 19% reduction bringing it just below the £70 mark. With a 40-minute looper, 7 drum kits with 7 drum beats each, and a tap tempo button, it could be just the boon your guitar playing needs going into the new year.View Deal

Looking at it, you wouldn’t believe the Danelectro Spring King Junior is a genuine spring reverb. It’s absolutely tiny, yet has genuine springs in it to give that metallic tang to your guitar playing that just makes your guitar tone sing. I really love the soft-touch switch that helps with any clanging when you stomp, and the standard 9-volt operation. With a massive £105 off in the sale it’s a staggeringly good deal, but I can’t imagine stocks of this will last long.View Deal

The idea of a compact bass amp will seem alien to most bass players, but this is exactly what the Phil Jones Double Four BG-75 gives you. If you can’t practice at home with your massive bass stack, this compact and clever little amp will deliver plenty of low end that won’t harm your relationship with your neighbours. It’s got a gigantic £173 off in the Thomann Cyber Week sale, making it a must-have for any player who wants to sharpen their skills even further.View Deal

Looking very much like Ibanez’s Tim Henson signature, this sleek-looking nylon string acoustic is perfect for those players who want to eschew classical styling and play their fingerstyle with a modern touch. It’s not for traditionalists, that much is obvious, but with a nice £83 off in the sale it’s a great way to get a unique guitar for a lot less.View Deal

With a gigantic $252 reduction taking the price down to well below the $600 mark, this Limited Edition Player II Stratocaster is an absolutely stonking deal. It’s the lowest price I’ve seen a Player II guitar going for, so if you’re after a super playable and versatile instrument that punches above its weight then this is a great deal to go for.

It’s got a huge $141.90 discount in the Fender sale, so if you’re after a guitar that’s quite unlike any other, this is a great shout.View Deal

The Strandberg Boden Essential 6 is one of the weirdest, yet most satisfying guitars I’ve played over the last few years. The neck profile takes some getting used to, as does the lack of a headstock, but once it clicked I found myself shredding all over the neck with aplomb. It’s got a gigantic £339 reduction in the sale, making it super value for the guitarist who prioritizes playability over everything.View Deal

Dave Grohl’s signature Epiphone DG-335 made some serious waves when it landed last year, mainly because of its seriously good spec that features USA Gibson Burstbuckers.

I've had a HX Stomp on my pedalboard for the past couple of years now, and it's become the hub for all my delay, reverb, and modulation sounds.

This limited mint green edition has eye-catching looks to add to the equation, and with $100 off at Guitar Center I can highly recommend picking one up.View Deal

With everybody raving about the new Oasis guitars, this Epiphone Les Paul Custom P-90 caught my eye over at Guitar Center. It's got a hefty $150 discount, and the black and gold aesthetic with dual P-90 pickups gives it a look not too dissimilar to Noel's new guitar, for much less money. View Deal

The Twin Reverb is amongst the most desirable guitar amps in the world, providing an incredible base tone that’s great as a pedal platform. It’s big, heavy, and unashamedly loud, the perfect antidote to those who don’t fancy a modeler.

The EHX Soul POG is criminally underrated in my opinion. I've had one on my 'board for years now, sitting near the front of my chain to give me a tone boost through the Soul Food and, of course, that delicious octave guitar tone courtesy of the POG.

D’Addario is acoustic guitar string royalty. Although Ernie Ball is on top in the electric world, it’s D’Addario that I see people flock to when they ask me for strings during my music retail job.
