With some of the biggest discounts for guitarists we’ve seen so far for Memorial Day, the Musician’s Friend sale is one of the best places to pick up an absolute bargain. Launching a week early it’s also one of the first to get going, making it a great opportunity to grab yourself some big discounts ahead of the Memorial Day weekend.

Being guitar gear addicts ourselves, we had to look through the sale to see what was available and a huge $130 off this Fender Player II Jazzmaster in British Racing Green immediately caught our attention.

The Player II series sees the welcome return of Rosewood fingerboards with rolled edges, giving a supremely comfortable playing experience. Already a great value-for-money guitar, with the extra cash off for Memorial Day this is one deal that’s absolutely worth picking up if you want a new offset guitar.

We also spied a cool $50 off the Line 6 POD Express, which takes its price well below the $150 mark. Packed full of high-quality amp and effects models from Line 6’s HX series, it makes for a great low-cost practice rig, or a good starting point for beginner guitarists, delivering a wide variety of tones for relatively little money.

Finally, you can bag yourself a nice $250 off this super cool EVH Wolfgang Standard guitar. As you’d expect from a guitar bearing the EVH name, it’s a proper shredder guitar with a fast-playing neck and compound radius fingerboard that’ll have you blazing those tapping licks.

Dual humbuckers deliver gutsy mid-range tones that can straddle a wide array of styles, while a locking tremolo ensures you can perform the same guitar acrobatics as the man himself.
