Musician’s Friend Guitar Fest: Up to 40% off
With massive discounts of up to 40% off a huge range of guitars, pedals, and amps, Musician’s Friend Guitar Fest sale is the perfect place to pick up your favorite gear for less. There are loads of discounts on big brands like Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Martin, Yamaha, and more but the sale is for a limited time only, ending on March 24th so you’ll need to move quickly to get in on the action.
We’ve already had a look at the sale to see what’s on offer, and we’ve picked out some of our favorites for you here. First up, this Fender Vintera Limited Edition 50s Strat caught our eye thanks to its road-worn finish and a huge $330 discount. With a Player Series humbucker and two vintage-voiced single coils, this is a fantastically versatile instrument that will deliver a wide variety of tones. The soft ‘V’ neck feels absolutely lovely, and we already broken-in look adds even more classic vibe to its looks.
One of our all-time favorite multi-effects and pedal amps has got a massive discount, with the Line 6 HX Stomp reduced from $699.99 to just $549.99. That’s a hefty reduction of $150, or 21% on one of the most versatile pedals ever made. Use it to replace your rig entirely, or just add to an already existing pedalboard, whichever it is, the HX Stomp will give you quality tones and with a regular update path, even more amp and effects models in the future.
Finally, we love the look of this Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V with a satin finish, but we love the $500 discount even more! Now down to just below the two grand mark, it’s got a weight-relieved Mahogany body with a set Mahogany neck and asymmetric neck shape for ultra-comfort. The two Tradbuckers feature an underwound neck position and overwound bridge pickup, giving you excellent versatility in combination with the push-pull volume and tone knobs.
