Black Friday is just days away, and there are stacks of Black Friday music deals up for grabs. While there are many epic offers from the biggest names in music retail, one of the best sales is direct from the official Fender site, where you can score up to 50% off a range of Fender and Squier guitars. 

Included in this sale are a collection of Fender electric guitars, acoustic guitars, Fender accessories and clothing. So, if you are on the hunt for brand new Fender gear – regardless of the price point – there has never been a better time to buy. 

Now, with 75 guitars on offer, we thought we'd hand-pick our top 8. These are the guitars that we highly rate - and more importantly, these are the instruments we'd spend our own cash on.
