One standout is the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V, now with a remarkable $600 discount. Although we’ve seen this beauty in past sales, I have to admit it looks particularly stunning in the Ocean Water Perimeter finish. The Traditional Pro V comes equipped with Grover locking machine heads and an asymmetrical neck design for a modern playing feel, along with an underwound vintage-style neck pickup and an overwound Tradbucker at the bridge, plus options for coil-splitting and coil-tapping.
Another favorite of mine is the Martin Special GPC Grand Performance, which is now $210 off. This guitar is built with an all-solid construction, meaning it sounds every bit as good as it looks - the Fishman's MX pickup also means it’s ideal for live performances. Of course, if you are looking for a truly special acoustic guitar, you won't get much better than the stunning Taylor 914ce 50th Anniversary Custom Limited-Edition Grand Auditorium in Light Shaded Edge Burst. This guitar has a whopping $900 off right now!
Looking for a hollowbody that sounds as good as it looks? Well, the Gretsch G5427TG Electromatic may just be the best guitar for you. Featuring a laminated maple body with trestle block bracing, FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups, and a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece, the G5427TG more than delivers those iconic Gretsch sounds, and with $140 off, we think it is a total steal!
It’s important to mention that Guitar Center's Guitar-A-Thon isn’t just about discounts of up to 30% on well-known brands; it also showcases a range of exclusive models. Among these is the striking Epiphone Flying V '70s Guitar in Silver Burst, a blacked-out Marshall DSL40CR, and a fetching blue Boss Katana.
Hurry, as the Guitar-A-Thon runs until 8 October. With so many enticing offers, be sure to seize this opportunity before it disappears.
