Welcome back to your weekly dose of deals, brought to you by the guitar gear addicts here at Guitar World. We’ve been keeping our ear to the ground and eyes on the deals pages of all the biggest music gear retailers to bring you the very best bargains, handpicked by our expert team of musicians.

If you regularly check out Deals of the Week, you’ll know all about the Musician’s Friend Guitar Fest sale, which is giving guitarists up to 40% off a big selection of gear. Musician’s Friend has also launched a Warehouse Clearance sale, with an extra 10% off for members and some great deals on open-box items.

In the UK, Andertons have launched their big Spring Sale which has some excellent savings on a massive range of guitars, pedals, and amps. There’s up to £200 off Epiphone, a huge up to £490 off Chapman Guitars, and £380 off D’Angelico, so well worth a browse if you’re on the other side of the Atlantic.

At Sweetwater their Live Sound Month marches onwards but ends on March 31st, so there’s not much time to bag some excellent deals on wireless guitar systems, microphones, and PA systems. Meanwhile, Fender has launched a great deal for young guitar players, with 15% off Fender x Loog guitars giving an excellent way for young players to start for less.

That’s it for big sales this week, but if that doesn’t satiate you, we’ve handpicked a selection of our favorite gear below. Don’t forget to check back next week for more of the best savings on guitar gear!

We live and breathe everything guitar related, and we draw on this knowledge and experience of using products in live, recording and rehearsal scenarios when selecting the products we recommend.

First and foremost, we are guitarists, and we want to match other players with the right products for them, at the best prices.

For us to recommend a deal it has to be a product we rate that’s a genuinely great price or part of a truly fantastic bundle. It’s also important that we only recommend retailers where you will have a positive shopping experience.

Why you can trust our choicesWe spend a lot of our time scouring guitar retailers for fantastic deals on our favorite gear. Not only is it our job to research and recommend the best gear in our buyer’s guides, but we’re also dedicated to helping players get the best deals for the gear they need, too. After all, the only thing better than new gear day is a hearty discount.

We cover a lot of the big sales events throughout the year, including Memorial Day, Black Friday, 4th of July sales and Amazon Prime Day, and we have a good view on which products are likely to receive the biggest discounts and when, the prices they’ve been in the past and which deals are genuinely worth a look.

Where are the best places to shop?Online shopping is definitely a lot easier and more secure than it used to be, and we like to recommend a small handful of online retailers who have a sterling reputation and offer fantastic benefits like fuss-free returns, great customer service and, in some cases, full checks and setup of guitars before they are dispatched. So, all the deals we’ll recommend on this page are from retailers that tick these boxes.

What sort of deals should I look for?Great deals come in all shapes and sizes. There are a few key types to look out for:

Single item – A single product with a great discountSite-wide discounts – A single discount percentage on a large range of products across a siteDiscount codes – Load your basket to a certain value and redeem a discount code for money off your basket contentsAdded value deals – These include multi-buy discounts, or additional products or software for free when you buy certain itemsNovember has arrived and with it a flurry of early Black Friday deals have landed in our inboxes. We were expecting an influx but this year has already surpassed the expectations of the writing team here at Guitar World, with pretty much every retailer and many manufacturers either going all-in on their Black Friday sale or tempting us with some sweet early savings.

First up, Sweetwater’s early Black Friday sale has landed offering massive savings of up to 70% off gear. Big hitters like Mesa/Boogie, Taylor Guitars, and Universal Audio all feature
