The lowest price I've ever seen on a Fender Player II Strat just dropped over at the official Fender Black Friday sale – save up to 30% on a huge range of guitars, accessories, and merch
The Fender Black Friday sale just launched – here's 7 of the best deals for you
With the Black Friday guitar deals well and truly underway, Fender has seen fit to join the fray with a sale of their own, delivering deals of up to 30% off a range of Fender guitars. It covers everything from low-cost Squiers right through to premium Made in America instruments, and is a must-shop for any Fender fan this Black Friday.
The majority of the sale is admittedly made up of Squier guitars, but you can also bag yourself some discounts on the American Professional II, and the American Performer series if you’re looking for something a little more luxurious. You can also bag yourself reductions on the American Acoustasonic range, as well as a selection of Fender-inspired merch that is perfect for gifting.
I’ve had a look through the full sale to see what’s available, and there are a lot of really great deals in it. So, to save you some time, I’ve picked out 7 of my favorites below for you, all with some pretty tasty discounts.

With a gigantic $252 reduction taking the price down to well below the $600 mark, this Limited Edition Player II Stratocaster is an absolutely stonking deal. It’s the lowest price I’ve seen a Player II guitar going for, so if you’re after a super playable and versatile instrument that punches above its weight then this is a great deal to go for. In my Player II Stratocaster review I gave it four and a half stars out of five, praising the vintage tone of the Alnico pickups, the return of rosewood fingerboards, and the effortlessly playable modern ‘C’ profile neck.

This super cool Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SJ is quite unlike most other Fender models I’ve come across, blending the offset shape of a Jazzmaster and single coil in the neck position, with the classic bridge pickup of a Telecaster. It’s got a huge $141.90 discount in the Fender sale, so if you’re after a guitar that’s quite unlike any other, this is a great shout.

Another unusual offspring of the Squier Paranormal series, this Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe has been discounted by a huge $141.90, taking the price down to well below $350. It’s one of the coolest Squier guitars I’ve ever played, with dual humbuckers and a four knob control layout giving some deliciously thick guitar tones. It’s even got coil splits for extra tonal versatility, making this a real powerhouse for relatively little cash.

This Fender Vintage Ads Coaster Set is a great gift idea for the Fender fan who already owns too many guitars. Reduced by a cheeky $6.30, you get four different coasters depicting the 1960s ‘You Won’t Part With Yours’ campaign, which saw Fender guitars being used in places of varying insanity, such as skydiving, scuba diving, and surfing. A great shout as a stocking filler for the player who has it all.

This deal was hidden right at the bottom of the page on the Fender website, but precious little gets past me. Packing an SH pickup configuration and a Bigsby B50, this is an absolutely amazing deal with a hefty $157.50 taking the price down to just $367.49. It’s got some really nice retro touches too, with a vintage-tinted gloss neck, double-bound body, and a vintage-inspired headstock design.

If you’re looking for a guitar that’s a little more premium than a Squier, this Fender American Performer Stratocaster gives you an MIA guitar for below a grand, which is awesome value in my book. It’s been given a chunky $240 reduction in the sale, and is packing two Yosemite single coil pickups and a Double Tap humbucker that lets you split down to a single coil. Add in a satin finished neck for smooth playability and jumbo frets and you’ve got yourself a gig-ready guitar for a lot less.

This Squier Affinity Series Telecaster is a great choice for a beginner guitarist, and with a nice $75 reduction on the regular price, it leaves plenty of budget for a practice amplifier and accessories. This limited edition version comes in an all black colorway, making it a great shout for those into rock and metal guitar, and is plenty playable enough for any beginner to get their hands around, thanks to Fender’s trademark ‘C’ shape neck profile.
