I’ve been covering Amazon’s Big Deal Days sale for the past few years now, and while it’s never been great for guitars, amps, and pedals, it’s always delivered when it comes to essential accessories. With the launch of the sale this morning, I made it my mission to search high and low for the best quality accessories, all at a price that’s below $20.

There are absolutely tonnes of no-name brand gear on there, which, while it might be cheap, I don’t think it’s worth taking a gamble on. You’re way better off going for a name brand if you want something that lasts, and thankfully there are loads of discounts on brands we all know and love, like Ernie Ball, Jum Dunlop, MXR, Fender, and more.

I’ve listed out the best deals I’ve found for you below; let’s get to it!

Fender Premium Pick Pack
Save 15% ($2.25)
Fender Premium Pick Pack: was $14.99 now $12.74 at Amazon

Although probably not the first name you’d think of when buying new guitar picks, Fender picks are actually pretty good. I’ve used a few over the years, and they’ve got a nice feel and sound to them, and at this price they’re well worth a try if you’ve never used them before. They’re down to $1.06 per pick in the Amazon sale.

Elixir Nanoweb Electric
Save 19% ($3)
Elixir Nanoweb Electric: was $15.99 now $12.99 at Amazon

They may be more expensive than a lot of other electric guitar strings, but the coating on the Elixir Nanoweb Electric set means they can last two or even three times as long as a non-coated string. I’ve been testing electric guitar strings over the past few months, and these don’t feel as different as you might expect versus an uncoated string. At this price, now’s the time to take a dive into something different.

If there was ever a time to stock up on picks, it’s now. The deal is available on different gauges if you’re not a fan of the yellows, but prices are different depending on what you pick.

Ernie Ball Paradigm 2-pack
Save 20% ($5)
Ernie Ball Paradigm 2-pack: was $24.99 now $19.99 at Amazon

Ernie Ball’s Paradigm electric guitar strings are treated rather than coated, which means the treatment is done as part of the manufacturing process rather than being applied to the string afterwards. That means no flaking as they get older, and a feel similar to an uncoated string. I’ve tested these for our buying guide, and they sound absolutely phenomenal. Each pack costs you just $9.99 with this deal at Amazon.

There are a lot of cheapo patch cables on sale at Amazon, but if I were you, I’d stick to the tried-and-tested brands. These MXR patch cables have got a nice discount in the sale, with each cable costing $3.66. If you’re looking to stock up on shorter patch cables, this is a great price to buy at.
