Over at Musician’s Friend, you can grab yourself some significant savings of up to 50% off guitar gear, featuring a huge range of guitars, amps, pedals, and loads more great gear.

Each week Musician’s Friend will be adding further deals to the pile, and if that’s not enough to tempt you into having a look, there’s also a special holiday coupon running. Items priced between $99-198 get a nice 10% reduction while those that are $199+ get 15% off their price. There’s a nice selection of accessories, making it an excellent chance to stock up on essentials like strings, stands, and straps.

Musician’s Friend: Up to 50% off gear
With thousands of products seeing some serious reductions, Black Friday has landed earlier than ever this year at Musician’s Friend. There are big savings on huge brands like Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Boss, and loads more, perfect for the guitar gearhead who wants to get in on the sales action early.

We’ve had a look through the sale and spotted loads of early deals you can get your hands on, including an absolutely ginormous $600 off a Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V. It takes the price well below the $3,000 mark, making it a much more accessible price if you want a premium single cut.

At the opposite end of the scale, you can bag yourself a budget guitar pedal with the Behringer VP1 Vintage Phaser available for a lowly $21.90. It’s got a $17.10 reduction and costs less than your average family takeaway - super value for money. Based on the classic Small Stone, it sounds absolutely phenomenal for the money, and well worth it if you need to scratch your phaser pedal itch.

Finally, we spotted the Boss Katana Gen 3 50-watt modeling amp on sale for just $269.99. It’s the first time we’ve seen discounts on Gen 3 since they launched, and while a $30 discount doesn’t sound like much initially, the fact these amps came out only a few months ago and already have a reduction is great news for guitarists.
