We can't cover everything here, but these are our favorite picks from our deep dive into this monumental Memorial Day guitar sale. First of all, there's a whopping $419 off the rather unique Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s in Translucent Fuchsia. This is a gorgeous single-cut that plays just as good as it looks, and is a firm favorite with all of us at Guitar World. Sticking with the Les Paul for a moment, there is also £150 off the stunning Epiphone Les Paul Custom in limited edition Silver Burst finish. This '70s throwback delivers stellar vintage tones with a serious playability and outstanding finishing. 

We are also excited to inform you that we have discovered a fantastic deal on the gorgeous limited edition HSS Fender Player Strat in Blue Burst. Now with a sizable $180 discount, this humbucker-equipped Strat is fiercely versatile and a total steal at this price. 

There's also a tasty $200 slashed off the Schecter C-1. Featuring the celebrated EMG 81 and 85 pickup set, this guitar is a metal monster for sure and a bargain at only $599.
