Grab a new Les Paul, ES-335, J-185, or Dove with a hefty discount at Guitar Center right now
Owning a Gibson or Epiphone is the dream for many guitar players, and with both of these guitar titans having such a rich history, it’s easy to see why. Gibson and Epiphone have been responsible for some of the best electric guitar tones of all time, with Slash, Gary Moore, The Beatles, Gary Clark Jr and many more, using these guitars to inspire generations of music fans. It's only natural then that many would seek to recreate these sounds. There is just one catch - these guitars tend to be rather pricey. Luckily, the folks over at Guitar Center are offering hundreds off a range of Gibson and Epiphone guitars.
This mega sale covers a lot of ground, with serious discounts on everything from a modern Gibson Les Paul, a drop-dead gorgeous Epiphone ES-335, and even various acoustic guitars. There really is something for everyone here, and don't worry if you aren't a Gibo or Epi fan, as there are plenty on offer from the likes of Fender, Yamaha and Martin as well.
The Black Friday music deals aren't far away, and if these savings are a sign of what's to come in the Guitar Center Black Friday sale, then we could be in for quite the treat as we get closer to Cyber Weekend.
