Here’s a list of Cyber Monday deals on guitars, amps, pedals and more that were all highly-rated by our reviews team

Fender American Professional II range: $200 off
The American guitar giant’s premium range aims to capture the best of vintage and modern Fender features. For Black Friday 2024, the company has slashed $200 off the price tags of every core guitar and bass in the range. Guitarist’s American Professional II Telecaster review was glowing – and this Dark Night finish option is particularly classy.

John Mayer's SE signature guitar is now two years old but remains one of the jewels in the PRS crown. It scored 4.5 stars in our PRS SE Silver Sky review and was described as “hugely impressive in all regards”. Currently Guitar Center is offering a 15% reduction on all specs, including various finishes, maple and rosewood fretboard options and left-handers. We have seen 20% discounts previously, but this is still a great time to grab one.

Though it's made in Indonesia, rather than the company's native Japan, the Yamaha Pacifica Standard Plus PACS+12M can stand its ground with plenty of S-style guitars that ring up at twice the price, or more. We gave it 4.5 stars in our July review. Already a lot of bang for your buck at its usual value, the Pacifica Standard Plus PACS+12M can be had for $200 off this Black Friday.

The Donner Hush-X seriously impressed us as a travel guitar and silent practice solution when it was reviewed in January 2024, scoring 4.5/5 stars. It’s got a full scale-length, sounds great plugged-in and this is by far the best price we’ve seen on it – so if you’ve been thinking about bagging a travel instrument, this could be a great choice.

You can save $120 off the PRS SE NF3 list price at Guitar Center this weekend. The model brought something genuinely new to the S-style table earlier this year, with its unique Narrowfield hum-canceling pickups and 25” scale-length – and was described as coming “dangerously close” to the firm’s hallowed US builds, gaining 4.5 stars in its Guitarist review.

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’s a surprisingly effective combo – and was awarded 4.5 stars in Total Guitar’s review.

Grohl’s Gibson has become iconic, and now with the Epiphone replica, you can bag that famous Foos sound at a fraction of the cost. We awarded it a full five stars in our DG-355 review. UK/EU buyers can now save £230 at Thomann.

Sweetwater Boss Katana sale: save up to $150
Sweetwater has extended its sale on its Boss Katana collection, meaning you can still save up to $130 on selected guitar amps and $150 on some bass amps. And, as an added bonus, there are also savings to be made on the new Gen 3 models, which we can't rate highly enough. There truly hasn’t been a better time to snag a bargain on the world’s best-selling amplifier range. Stock will likely be limited and we don’t see these prices sticking around for long.

Our Boss Katana Head Gen 3 review saw the latest iteration of the versatile modeling amp awarded 4.5 stars, noting “It offers gigging guitarists a highly-practical option for live performances, while the built-in 5-inch speaker makes it perfect for home practice.” Unusually, Sweetwater is offering $30 off this brand new line, or you can get up to $130 off Katana MK II models.

It’s one of the best value tube amps on the market, but the latest iteration packs in a ton of connectivity and handy features like power attenuation and USB/XLR outputs. It scored four stars in our Peavey Classic 20 review – losing a few marks for its shared EQ and cheap footswitch – but it’s otherwise a very solid performer. Now you can scoop it up over at Sweetwater – and shave $100 off the usual price.

Line 6 Helix range: up to $150 off at Guitar Center
Guitar Center is offering up to $150 off across its entire catalog of Line 6 Helix products – some of the most popular and powerful multi-effects and modeler units on the market. My eye is caught by the $50 discount on the compact HX One, which launched this year. It scored 4.5 stars in our HX One review and is very new, very handy and very good value...

The SDE-3000D is an ultra-compact version of the Roland rack-mounted unit it’s inspired by – i.e. the king of the 80s digital delay. Sweetwater is currently offering a huge 50% discount, meaning you can save $250 with this deal. If you’re after a big upgrade to your current delay, there is no better time to do it. It also scored highly and was described as “world class” in our Boss DSE-3000D review.

The complicated and bulky nature of some wireless systems is enough to put you off even dipping your toe in the cable-free world. The Spark Link is different. It's discrete, tough as nails, and supremely easy to set up. It got a four star review in January and was already affordable, but with a further $29 off for a limited time, it's the perfect entry point to wireless systems from a trusted name.
