With an insane up to 50% off, here are our top 8 deals from the Fender Black Friday sale
Save big on everything from Player II to Vintera II and so much more this Black Friday
Black Friday week has arrived and it’s bargains galore out there with some amazing deals to be had on Fender classics. We’ve found some truly incredible offers on a range of electric guitars. From Strats and Teles to offsets it seems there’s something for everybody in Fender's massive up to 50% off Black Friday sale.
Some of the best deals we’ve spotted are now live at the official Fender site – but take it from us, they’re that good they probably won’t hang around. Now, with 75 guitars on offer, we thought we'd hand-pick our top eight. These are the guitars that we highly rate - and more importantly, these are the instruments we'd spend our own cash on.
First up is the drop-dead-gorgeous Player Strat in Forest Green. It's no secret that we absolutely love the Player Series II and we love them even more when there is $240 off!
Featuring a duo of V-Mod II single-coil pickups, a clever top-load/string-through Tele bridge with compensated brass "bullet" saddles and a seriously playable "Deep C neck", this is easily one of the best Telecasters on the market right now. Save $200 at Fender.
Next up is the retro-inspired '70s Jag in the eye-catching Vintage White finish. This guitar has all the vintage charm of an original Jag but without the hefty price tag. Right now, this guitar is down to $1,349; that's a saving of $150.
The Vintera II '60s Tele is the perfect axe for those who want the best of both worlds. This Tele has plenty of vintage mojo in the style department but also benefits from modern features such as a contemporary neck profile and hotter pickups.
The Malibu Player may be small, but this pint-sized acoustic packs a punch. Featuring a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and 6-in-line headstock, this guitar is immensely playable, sounds fantastic and looks pretty cool while doing it.
The Mustang Bass has made quite the impact since it was released back in '64, finding its way into the hands of everyone from Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads, Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones and even Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance - and now you can join the club for a less, with $150 off while stocks last.
Sometimes, the track you are working on is crying out for the unmistakable sound of a 12-string, and with the Squier Paranormal Jazzmaster XII, you can nail the tone without breaking the bank! Save $90 at Fender.com.
Even when it isn't on sale, this striking acoustic offers fantastic value for money and with its slim neck it's ideal for beginners. It even comes loaded with Fishman electronics. So, with $49 off for Black Friday, the deal just got even sweeter.
Of course, there are lots more on offer, so we recommend checking out the full sale for yourself. This promotion runs until the 1st of December, so if you see something you like, don't hang about, as there are only a few days to grab a bargain.

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.
“I had just put together a beautiful white Stratocaster. So I said, 'Okay, I'll trade you.' ” Jeff “Skunk” Baxter recalls the questionable deal he made with Jimi Hendrix in the mid 1960s
“There were a few guitars kicking around. But it just didn't fit in this electronic-based track.” The world’s most famous charity rock song lost its guitar parts in 1984. They’re finally back for 2024
