Guitar Center is discounting select Fender Player Strats by up to $100, which makes these awesome guitars an incredibly good deal. Authentic Strat appointments, shared by all models, include a hand-shaped alder body, a five-way selector switch, alnico pickups, and a fast, comfortable maple neck. There’s the choice of a classic all-out single coil SSS configuration, or you can opt for versions loaded with a humbucker in the bridge.
The Squier Paranormal series offers some really unique instruments, and this Nashville Stratocaster is a great example of that. With a cheeky $100 discount at Guitar Center, it amalgamates the best parts of the Stratocaster and Telecaster into a unique hybrid of both. It delivers a huge variety of tones with the bite of the Tele bridge pickup, the warmth of the neck, plus the spanky tones of the Strat middle position. Well worth a look if you want something different from the norm.
Get a Taylor, Gift a Taylor: Travel guitars from $99
Buy any Taylor 200 series or higher model from Guitar Center and add an acoustic Baby Taylor BT1 for $99 or an acoustic GS Mini Sapele for $199. The saving on the RRP is a generous $300 and the promotion runs until 15 January 2024. So, buy your dream Taylor and get a second guitar to take on vacation or give away to a loved one this holiday season.
With hundreds of Boss amp, effect and speaker models, plus loads of tactile controls, foot switches and an expression pedal, the GT-1000 puts the Boss tones you know and love at your feet. It’s got a looper, plenty of connectivity, and for a limited time only, $200 off at Guitar Center!
Over at Guitar Center, the MS-70CDR+ has got a tasty $40 discount, bringing it to just above the $100 mark. The original Zoom MultiStomps earned something a cult following thanks to their versatility. Small, yet packing a shedload of sounds inside the MultiStomp is the perfect 'Swiss army knife' pedal to add a particular tone or utility to your 'board when you don't want to take up too much room or spend too much money.
The mightiest mini pedal of all time? Yes! Nothing can rival the original Tumnus for versatility as an always-on, lead drive / boost and gain stacker with your other pedals. It's not just cheaper than over $6,500 cheaper than a gold Klon Cenatur, but a lot smaller too. Now the price has shrunk down at Guitar Center as well!
The best klon around with even more options and $30 off at Guitar Center. This is a very easy deal to recommend! Brian Wampler's latest take on his winning overdrive pedal formula now has a three-band EQ for enhanced shaping, Hot and Normal modes to choose between original Tumnus and a higher gain and the choice of buffered and true bypass. A great pedal at an even better price for Cyber Monday.
Boss Katana sale: Save up to $150
Guitar Center is getting ahead of the game with its Cyber Monday sale. Right now you can save up to $150 on select amps in the Katana range, including slightly smaller savings on the new Gen 3 models. Stock will likely be limited and we don’t see these prices sticking around for long.
If you want to go wireless, XVIVE’s U4 system gives you everything you need for long-lasting, rock solid transmission. In this 20% off deal you’ll receive one transmitter and one receiver. Just hook up your in-ear monitors and you’ll be enjoying pristine, cable-free sound in no time.
Designed for musicians and hobbyists alike, the PX-S1100 delivers an enhanced concert grand piano sound in a sleek, lightweight package - and better yet, you can save $100.99 at Guitar Center right now.
One of our most highly-rated electronic drum sets, the Alesis Nitro Max is a brilliant all-rounder that will suit beginner and veteran players alike. Whether you're looking for your first kit or something to practice on at home, a $60 discount makes it a lot more accessible for a wide variety of players. We were especially impressed by the software bundle, which features some incredibly high-quality sounds from BFD.
Whether you're looking for a PA mixer for your band room, a traveling live sound rig, or you just want a bigger sound system to play your tracks through, the Yamaha MG10XU is a great center point for your sounds. It's got a nice $53 discount taking it to just above $200 and as it's Yamaha, you know it will stand the test of time.
It's one of those must-have microphones and although it is expensive, once you've bought one you'll likely never need to get another. The AKG C414 has got a huge $320 discount at the moment, and as one of the most popular and flexible condenser microphones in the world, you'll find yourself pulling this one out of the locker again and again.
We gave this soft synth a full five stars out of five in our review, and that was at full price. With a 50% discount taking it down to just $99.99, we can't think of many better SEM emulations out there. Comprising 8 modules in a resizable window, it's incredibly accurate and most importantly, great fun to mess around with.
