As the leaves start to turn and the days grow shorter, most folks think of cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice everything. But for us at Guitar Player, October isn't just about cider and costumes, it's all about cranking up the volume! Get ready for an electrifying Rocktober like no other, courtesy of Musician's Friend. They’re hosting a jaw-dropping sale with discounts of up to 40% on gear from the biggest names around.
I've gone through the sale, and there really is something for everyone in this glorious assortment. We're talking a buffet of guitars from iconic brands like Fender, Taylor, and Ernie Ball. And hey, it’s not just about guitars. Snag great deals on everything from must-have accessories to live sound gear and even drums.
To help you navigate this treasure trove of deals, I’ve handpicked some highlights.
First on our list is the jaw-dropping Epiphone DG-335, your ticket to capturing that legendary Grohl sound without selling your soul (or your kidney). With a whopping $300 off, this beauty comes loaded with Gibson USA pickups, including a Burstbucker 2 in the neck and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge.
Next up, we’ve got the show-stopping Ernie Ball Music Man Luke III HH in Cherry Burst, the choice of legendary axeman Steve Lukather himself. With a killer $800 discount, this guitar features high-output humbuckers that’ll make your riffs sing, and with a built-in 20dB boost on the push/pull volume knob, you’ll be soaring to new sonic heights.
Last but definitely not least, feast your eyes on the fabulous Gretsch 5427TG, now available for only $769.99. With $250 knocked off, this retro gem packs Gretsch's FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups and a Bigsby vibrato into a stunning Midnight Sapphire finish.
But don’t stop there! With so many amazing finds waiting for you, we encourage you to dive into the full Rocktober catalog. And if you’re still hunting for killer deals, check out our Prime Day guitar deals hub for even more discounted guitars, amps, and pedals.
