Black Friday guitar deals – brands to watch
It goes without saying that during a big sale like this, you should keep an eye out for the big players in the industry: Fender and Epiphone being the main two.
This year we’ve seen the launch of the Fender Player II, which brings a host of upgrades, including ClassicGear tuners and rosewood fretboards in place of the Player I’s pau ferro. You’ll find even more Fender offerings in the way of price reductions on our Black Friday guitar page!
If you’re after a whole new guitar, JET Guitars are another one to have on your radar. The already-affordable brand are great for those who want high-quality components and classic guitar shapes. And who doesn’t love a discount? They’re a great brand to buy from this Black Friday, whether it’s for yourself or a loved one at Christmas.
Similarly, G4M, who are known for their high-quality guitars, basses, and amps at budget-friendly prices, are a brand to browse this Black Friday. Even for basic accessories like a guitar stand or hanger (a very practical Christmas present!), G4M are a great go-to, offering simple, robust constructions that do the job well.
If you’re after a new pedalboard addition, we recommend looking for Tech 21 deals. We already have great deals on the SansAmp GT2 and SansAmp Acoustic Fly-Rig, among others, but keep an eye out for other price reductions this November!
To record your guitar, you’ll need an audio interface, and if you’re looking for something new to bring to the studio, PreSonus, Zoom, and Focusrite are the brands to watch.
Finally, to keep all your new Black Friday purchases safe, our advice is to have a look through any Gator offerings. When it comes to protecting your instrument and gear, you don’t want to buy something cheap for the sake of it. The ideal balance is to purchase from a well-respected brand and get a good Black Friday deal.
Gator focus purely on instrument and gear cases, they’re an industry standard, and they offer possibly the best equipment protection you’ll find – so they’re definitely a brand to have on your radar this Black Friday.
