Andertons Black Friday sale
Despite launching later than most, the Andertons Black Friday sale is still essential viewing if you’re a musician in the UK or EU. There are thousands of products available, from Fender guitars to Roland V-Drums, so no matter your role in music, you can pick up a great bit of gear for cheap.
Strats don't come much more striking than this. The Bubble Gum Metallic Fender Ultra Stratocaster is a guitar that sounds and plays just as good as it looks, and with £700 off at Andertons, it has just become very tempting!
There's a huge amount of PRS guitars available in the Andertons Black Friday sale, but we love the Blood Orange colour scheme of the SE Custom 24-08 in particular. Already a brilliant value-for-money instrument at full price, a massive £380 reduction makes this a must-buy for guitarists.
The Limited Edition Gretsch Sidewinder is for the players looking for classic Gretsch twang and “bite” but with a unique look. Save £1,150 off right now at Andertons!
Paul Gilbert's reversed take on the iconic Iceman is bold, cool and seriously versatile. Featuring a trio of PG-13 mini humbuckers, there isn't a sound that this wild axe can't do. Save a massive £574 on this super signature model at Andertons.
Combining elements from both the Tele and Jazzmaster, the Paranormal Offset Telecaster is more than the sum of its parts. This is a unique instrument that more than delivers on tone, playability and style. With a massive £230 discount, it's also incredible value for money.
