We’ve only just recovered from an absolutely massive 4th of July weekend for deals, but Guitar Center has seen fit to drop a brand new sale to tempt all guitar players. It’s in conjunction with Schecter Guitars, so the theme is very much geared towards lovers of heavy guitar music, but with up to 25% off a range of guitars, amps, and pedals, there really is something for everyone here.
The sale runs from July 9th to August 5th, so there’s plenty of time for you to land a deal. It includes brands like Schecter, Jackson, and Ibanez for your heavy fix, but if you’re more of a traditional player, there are still plenty of great deals on heavyweights like Fender and Gibson.
One of the best deals I’ve seen so far is on this Fender Player II Modified Telecaster. It’s down to just $839.99 in the sale thanks to a mega $210 reduction, which takes it well below the $1k mark. I’ve used this guitar myself, and it’s an incredibly versatile bit of kit. The classic Tele pickup configuration is augmented by a series circuit for humbucker-esque tones, and it’s got a treble bleed circuit, making the volume knob very usable indeed.
Next up, I spied a sweet discount on the iconic Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120. This iconic guitar amp rarely gets any money off, so if you want the ultimate clean base for a pedalboard, then it’s well worth your money with an incredible $300 reduction. I know many guitar players who gig these, and if you like to get your tone from your pedals, it’s the ultimate pedal platform.
Finally, there’s a bunch of Boss pedals discounted in the sale, but this Boss TR-2 Tremolo caught my attention thanks to the ultra-low price. An 18% price cut sees it fall to just $89.99, and if you value simplicity from your pedals, it’s a really great shout with its simple three-knob operation. As you might expect, it's packing all the typical Boss build quality, making it a great choice for gigging guitarists.
