The Black Friday guitar deals are in full swing, and one of our favorite offers makes a return. Taylor’s Get One, Gift One promotion is back, offering a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the holiday season with not just one but two incredible guitars. Running until January 6th and available at participating retailers, the offer lets you purchase a qualifying 300 or 400 Series model and choose a second guitar at an unbeatable discount. Pick up a Baby Taylor for just $99, a GS Mini for $199, or an Academy model starting at $299 - perfect as a gift for a fellow guitarist or an addition to your own collection.
This year’s promotion has a treat for a wide variety of players. Whether you are seeking a compact Baby Taylor for those work trips or holidays, a versatile Academy nylon-string model to explore new sounds, or the iconic GS Mini to surprise a loved one, the value is undeniable. To put it in perspective, this deal offers over $350 in savings on a Baby Taylor and over $400 off Academy models - savings you’d struggle to find anywhere else, even on the second-hand market.
When it comes to qualifying guitars, the 300 and 400 Series feature some of Taylor’s finest offerings. A standout model and personal favorite is the Taylor 414ce-R, which perfectly showcases the signature qualities of the Grand Auditorium body. Its resonant tone is enhanced by the classic pairing of a spruce top with rosewood back and sides. Add in Taylor’s renowned ES2 pickup system, and you’ve got an instrument that effortlessly delivers its rich acoustic character through a PA - ideal for gigging musicians. However, if you don’t fancy taking the 414ce-R to your local open mic, add an Academy 10e to the shopping cart, and it will only cost you $299 during this promotion.
The Builder’s Edition lineup also has qualifying models, like the 324ce. As the flagship of Taylor’s eco-conscious Urban Wood Initiative, this guitar highlights Taylor’s innovative approach to sustainability by sourcing wood from urban trees in California. Despite this unconventional material sourcing, we found the 324ce delivers everything you’d expect from a Taylor: a rich, resonant tone, exceptional playability, and meticulous craftsmanship, down to the smooth, flawless edges that make it a joy to play.
On the other hand, if you are looking to join Taylor’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, commemorative models are also included in the promotion. The 50th Anniversary 312ce is an excellent choice for something unique. Its special edition torrefied spruce top enhances resonance and dynamic range, delivering a bold, cannon-like projection. For a more relaxed option at home, the Academy 12e-N - perfect for warm, mellow nylon-string tones on the couch - comes with a $400 discount when purchasing the 312ce, making it a fantastic addition to your collection.
