A Fender for $85? Taylor Swift's guitar at $100 off? The best acoustic deals still available right now

An actual Fender for less than $85. The Fender FA-25 Dreadnought comes with a free subscription to Fender Play. At this price you don't expect build quality to die for, but you can rely on the Fender seal of quality and the 2-Year Warranty.

The best 3/4 scale acoustic guitar on the market and one of the finest beginner acoustics ever constructed, the Baby Taylor is ideal for smaller hands learning their way around the fretboard, as well as more seasoned players who need a robust travel companion to take on the road. It's also the guitar Taylor swift learned on, and hey – if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for us.

If you want the guitar that Taylor Swift learned on but want a version that will tap into that Swift connection, this pint-sized Baby Taylor – which has been given a distinct Tay Tay twist – is for you (or your kids). Swift learned on the Baby Taylor and took it on tour at a young age, and with some additional ES-B electronics for amplified acoustic tones, this will make for a truly killer starter six-string.

In our recent Guild F-55E review, we praised it for its loud and well-balanced tone, slim neck with fantastic playing feel, and outstanding build quality.

The Dove is one the finest Gibson acoustic guitars. This Epiphone version brings you the Dove's ornate style and booming sound with 20% off the price. Though it features an imitation tortoise pickguard, rather than the real thing, the Epi Dove's Fishman Sonitone pickup system and Grover machine heads are high quality. A luxurious-looking acoustic at a non-first-class price.

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.

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.

A Dream USA-made Taylor at an unbeatable price – and it's stage-ready with the acclaimed Expression System 2. Solid woods, V-Class bracing for sweet sustain, plus a Taylor Aero Case too. It feels almost a bonus that it has the beautiful Shaded Edge Burst finish.

Thomann has surprised us with its Taylor American Dream reductions this Cyber Weekend and there's a huge saving on this lovely Sunburst travel-sized electro-acoustic. With bespoke C-Class bracing, solid walnut back and sides and a solid spruce top, this falls between the popular GS-Mini and Taylor's full-sized models with its 24-inch scale.
