If you missed out on a great deal over Cyber Weekend, or you still have some Christmas cash burning a hole in your pocket – and for that restraint, we applaud you – the annual Presidents’ Day sales represent the next big opportunity to save significant sums off new guitar gear. Whether that’s another electric guitar for the collection, an extra pedal for your board, or you want the best value possible on picks or strings, today is the day.

With all of the above in mind, we’ve hand-picked a few sales that you simply cannot miss for the biggest bargains online right now. For example, if you want to save $500 off an awesome Gibson Les Paul, a hearty $200 off the mighty Fender Player II Strat, or even a mammoth $1,027.50 off a very special PRS, there are plenty of deals like this up for grabs today.

Now, we know that guitar players are a discerning bunch with their own tastes, so rather than us tell you specifically what to buy, we recommend that you take a browse around these sales while they’re still live to find the right gear for you.
