Early Black Friday savings: Up to 15% off musical instruments with this Guitar Center coupon
But that's not all! Enjoy discounts galore at Musician’s Friend, Pro Audio Star and Sweetwater too
Black Friday music deals are dropping all around us now, offering savvy shoppers the chance to save big on specific music gear. But what if you’re not after something specific, and just want to have a browse around some of your favourite music retailers to see what’s on offer? Well, for that, some shops are offering discount codes off select items, like at Guitar Center, where right now you can save 15% off qualifying items when you enter the code holiday 15 at checkout.
This discount covers everything from guitars and drums, to DJ gear, software and keyboards. So, for example, if you picked up the Epiphone Les Paul Special II Plus - a fantastic electric guitar for beginners - and applied the discount, the price would drop from $229 down to $194.65, saving you almost $35. The discount is capped at $500, but that means you can make some crazy savings on big ticket items.
This discount lasts through to 11 November, so act fast if you want to take advantage. In fact, once the coupon expires, we're expecting to see more official Guitar Center Black Friday deals emerge.
