With an excellent selection of gear discounted, you don’t need to worry if you’re not looking for a big-ticket item in the sale. There are loads of accessories and upgrades available, including guitar straps, bridge assemblies, pickups, and more. Of course, if you want a new guitar there are some great choices available, as well as some select guitar pedals too. 

If you like classic Strat tones, then a huge $315 reduction on this Limited Edition Player Strat will be right up your street. It’s got three Custom Shop Fat 50s pickups for all that classic Strat spank with some added modern heft to them for a better bass response. They sound superb, elevating this guitar far above the regular Player Series instruments.

Need something a little cheaper? With a $50 discount, this super cool Surf Green Affinity Strat is a great option at just $199.99. Coming with vintage tuners and a 2-point tremolo bridge, it’s got that classic Strat aesthetic in spades but minus the boutique price tag. Great for beginner players to start making their first move on arguably the most iconic instrument ever made. 

We also spotted the Fender Compugilist Compressor/Distortion pedal with a tasty $68 reduction, taking the price down to just $101.99. Two pedals in one, it enables you to compress your tone going into the pedal, then smash it with some serious distortion. You can run the two sides stacked or blend both together, making it a super versatile bit of kit and well worth the asking price.
