We’re still a week away from the 4th of July, but Guitar Center has seen fit to jump the gun and launch their sale a full week early. I’m not complaining, though, as it offers guitarists like me and you the chance to bag some huge savings of up to 45% off guitar gear.
Not only have they launched early, but it’s also a payday weekend, so if you’ve been waiting to purchase something fresh for your rig, it’s a great opportunity. With it being Guitar Center, there’s plenty on offer for us guitarists, and I’ve seen some excellent discounts from PRS, Music Man, Guild, Gretsch, and loads more.
If you’re looking for a bargain on a guitar pedal, it doesn’t come much better than the Electro-Harmonix Lizard Queen, which is available for just $39.60. It normally retails at $99, which means you’re saving a massive $59.40 on a relatively new guitar pedal.
Designed in conjunction with Josh Scott of JHS Pedals, it’s a super cool octave fuzz pedal with a transistor-based octave fuzz circuit, giving you a very vintage flavor of fuzz with the addition of a high and low octave sound.
If you like your guitars vintage flavored, then you’ll love the Guild Surfliner, especially as it’s got a cool $110 discount at the moment. It’s a great guitar for grunge and garage rock sounds, and can get pretty nasty with the right pedals and pickup settings.
There are five different settings to choose from, which gives you plenty of variety, and the locking tuners help keep the Guild floating vibrato tailpiece in tune when you lean on it.
Finally, I had my head turned by this Epiphone Custom Les Paul P-90. It looks absolutely incredible, and those twin P-90s will ensure you can get some ferocious sounds out of it.
The P-90s are the real highlight here, giving a bright and characterful performance that’s supremely versatile at bridging the gap between a single-coil and humbucker tone. With $150 off the regular price, it’s a great option if you want something a little different from your average LP-type.
