Every year it feels like the Black Friday music deals come earlier, and this year is no exception. The calendar has just flipped to November and we’ve already gotten a slew of savings from major retailers. The latest to go is Musician’s Friend, who are offering up to 50% off for musicians and music-makers.

Alongside the main sale, Musician’s Friend is also offering a special holiday coupon which unlocks even more discounts on gear. Spend $99-198.99 on a qualifying item and you can get 10% off, while items that are $199+ get a hefty 15% knocked off the price. With loads of accessories available, it’s a great way to stock up on those essential items.

With thousands of products seeing some serious reductions, Black Friday has landed earlier than ever this year at Musician’s Friend. There are big savings on huge brands like Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Boss, and loads more, perfect for the guitar gearhead who wants to get in on the sales action early.

We’ve had a look at the sale to see what’s on offer and picked some of our top-rated products for you. First up, the PreSonus Eris Studio 8 studio monitors have a hefty $50 saving. As you’ll need to buy two, that’s $100 off in total, making it a great discount on a serious pair of speakers. The size makes them great at reproducing the low end, and we gave them four and a half stars out of five in our PreSonus Eris Studio 8 review.

If you’re after discount gear it doesn’t come much cheaper than Behringer, but now they’ve had a reduction to take the price down even further. As well as lots of live sound gear, we spotted the Behringer RD-6-SR with a nice $60 saving, taking the price down to just $129. It’s a clone of the iconic TR-606, just miles cheaper than the real deal. Haters will hate, but we’ve used one it’s really quite good.

Finally, if you’re in the market for a new audio interface you should check out a cool $200 off the Universal Audio Apollo Twin Duo. Thanks to the recent release of the Gen 2 Apollo interfaces, we’re seeing some significant reductions on the originals, which makes it a great chance to pick up a top-quality recording device for a lot less.
