When will the Cyber Monday guitar deals arrive?

Cyber Monday 2022 will land on Monday 28 November, the day after Thanksgiving in the US and 3 days after Black Friday.

In our experience these deals won't be restricted to just that four day period though. In the past, some of the best Cyber Monday guitar deals have emerged well in advance of the event – as early as late-October, so keep checking this page to see what epic deals we uncover. Many deals will hang about until well into December too.

Cyber Monday guitar deals: what to expect

All the major musical instrument retailers go large when it comes to Cyber Monday guitar deals, cutting prices on a wealth of products - in the past we've seen huge discounts from Sweetwater, Guitar Center and Musician's Friend, amongst others. 

Not only is Cyber Monday a great time to get your hands on accessories and more beginner-focused gear, but there's certainly big money to be saved on premium brands like Gibson, Fender and PRS, too. 

The Amazon (opens in new tab) and Walmart (opens in new tab) Cyber Monday sales will be huge, too. Not only do both of these retail giants sell a fair range of music-making gear, but these are also the places to pick up things like wireless headphones, Amazon Echo devices and other smart tech for your home, as well as vinyl, record players and more.

When it comes to the deals themselves, things get a little harder to predict. Deals can land at any time – sometimes even in the middle of the night – so it's important to keep your eye on your favorite retailers so you don't miss out. Signing up to mailing lists and keeping pages like this bookmarked will help you keep on top of the offers.

Some Cyber Monday guitar deals may stick around for the entirety of Cyber Weekend, while others may only stick around for a matter of hours. Stock levels have also been pretty volatile this year - and we believe there may be fewer units available of the biggest offers - so if you spot a good deal, our advice would be not to sleep on it.

Cyber Monday guitar deals: how to prepare

If you're thinking that the Cyber Monday guitar deals may be the best time to finally invest in that new acoustic guitar or add some new additions to your pedalboard, our recommendation would be to get your research done now.

It's also important to be clear on what you actually need so you don't get swept up in deals fever and end up with boxes of stuff that seemed like a good deal at the time but you won't end up using. 

Where possible, make a note of the current price of the gear you're after so that when the time comes you can see whether the deals you're looking at really are as good as they seem.

To help you create your dream shopping list, take some time out to explore our expert buying guides and product reviews.

Cyber Monday guitar deals: Buying online

If you're concerned about buying a guitar or other gear online on Cyber Monday without playing it first - and particularly higher-end gear - you really don't have to be. Online music instrument retailers like Guitar Center (opens in new tab) , Musician’s Friend (opens in new tab) and Sweetwater (opens in new tab) offer hassle-free returns as standard, meaning you can purchase a guitar, give it a spin in the comfort and privacy of your own home and send it back without issue if it's not right. 

We'd recommend you check the specific returns policy for the retailer you're thinking of buying from ahead of time, but most offer between 30-45 days to return an item, as long as the item is in original condition.
