Prime Day guitar deals 2024: All of the best sales from Prime Day that are still live
Day two of Amazon Prime Day has come to a close, but there are still savings to be had
And just like that Prime Day is over. But don't worry if you're still on the hunt for a six-string-related bargain; most of the Prime Day guitar deals are still active. This year is easily the best we've seen for guitar players, and there's still time to get involved.
Of course, some of the best guitar sales this year weren't actually on Amazon but on music retail sites such as Sweetwater, Guitar Center, and Thomann and those sales are still running.
For example, you still have time to pick up a Breedlove acoustic guitar for $500 off at Guitar Center, while Sweetwater is still offering up to 65% off a massive range of gear for the next few hours.

Positive Grid Spark: Was $299, now $269
Positive Grid’s Spark 40 amp regularly tops ‘best of’ lists here at Guitar World thanks to its excellent range of tones and practice tools. It’s the perfect option for players short on space who need a desktop or practice amp and is currently down to just $269 in the Amazon Prime Day sale, giving you a saving of $30.
Line 6 DL4 MKII: Was $299.99, now $199.99
An update to one of the best digital delay pedals ever made, this all-black limited edition version of the Line 6 DL4 MKII is an absolute steal at just $199.99. Reduced by $100 from its original price over at Reverb, it's packing a huge selection of delay and reverb tones alongside a dedicated looper, making it a super versatile addition to your pedalboard.
Squier Starcaster: Was $299.99, now $239.99
One of our favorite Squier guitars, the Squier Starcaster is a stunning-looking semi-hollow guitar that delivers souped-up tones courtesy of the dual humbuckers. Over at the official Fender shop it's got a nice $60 discount, giving an already great-value guitar an even better price point.

Peavey Invective MH Mini: $799.99, now $699.99

With a nice $100 discount at Musician's Friend, it's amazing value for money, and was designed in conjunction with Misha Mansoor or Periphery, who knows a thing or two about monster guitar tones.

Mesa/Boogie Mark Five:25: Was $2,299, now $1,839
Mesa/Boogie makes some of the finest amplifiers in the world, but they're not cheap. It's fairly unusual to see discounts on them, but our eyes immediately lit up when we saw this deal at Sweetwater.

Prime Day guitar deals 2024: Prime Day FAQs
When is Prime Day 2024?
The Prime Day 2024 dates have now officially been confirmed as Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 July and you can expect a full 48-hours of deals. Some deals may also stick around for a few days after the event.
Other retailers who are taking advantage of Prime Day may launch their sales early to compete.
Do you need an Amazon Prime subscription to get a Prime Day deal?
To take advantage of the Prime Day music deals on Amazon itself, the answer is yes. If you’ve never been a Prime member before, Amazon often offers free trials (right now you can sign up for a 30-day free trial, so you could be tactical and sign up just before the event, then cancel your subscription once you’ve bagged a bargain.
If you’re a regular Amazon shopper, you might want to keep hold of that subscription though. Prime members get faster delivery, exclusive deals, access to Prime Music, Prime Video, and more.
Where can I find the best Prime Day guitar deals?
In recent years we've seen Amazon-only deals on brands like D'Addario (a couple of years back there was a 30% discount applied to 106 models), but there are plenty of discounts to be had on other sites too, with money off everything from amps and pedals to strings, wireless systems and more.
Usually, the likes of Guitar Center, Musician's Friend and Sweetwater all get in on the action.
Will any other music shops offer Prime Day guitar deals?
In addition to Amazon, we're also expecting to see deals from the likes of Fender Play and software giants IK Multimedia, alongside the usual retailer like Best Buy, Walmart and Target. If all of the above get in on the discounting action, we’re in for one hell of a guitar sale.
