Well, we're onto day 2 of Amazon Prime Day, and as we see the Prime Day guitar deals continue to roll through, it's very clear that the best savings are happening away from Jeff Bezos' website. Guitar Center's Guitar-A-Thon is back and better than ever. Until midnight tonight, you can take advantage of significant price cuts on some of the best guitar brands out there, including iconic pieces from Gibson and Fender, as well as stunning acoustics from trusted names like Martin and Taylor.

This is the last day to shop the sale, so if you spot something you like I suggest you act fast.

Now, I know the number of deals might feel overwhelming, but I’ve handpicked the top Guitar Center offers that truly stand out. Whether you're gearing up for a live gig, preparing for an important recording, or simply treating yourself or a loved one to a new instrument ahead of Christmas, this sale features something for everyone.

Here's 11 guitars I recommend based on my experience as a guitar writer and reviewer for Guitar Player, Guitar World and MusicRadar:

One standout for me 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.

First and foremost, I'm a guitar enthusiast – a fanatic, some might say. I'm a firm believer that most of the world's problems can be solved with a Gibson SG and a catastrophically loud amp. Before writing about guitars for a living as a Senior Deals Writer on Guitar Player, I worked in music retail for 7 years, giving advice on guitars, basses, drums, pianos, and PA systems. I also have a passion for live sound; I'm a fully qualified sound engineer with experience working in various venues in Scotland.
