This year PRS has been celebrating its 40th anniversary with a range of events and special product launches. Now, for this year’s Black Friday guitar deals, they’ve announced one of their best sales in years, with huge savings across guitars and amps – including 20% off the SE, PRS Core and S2 series’. These sales are live right now at both Sweetwater and Guitar Center.

2025 has already been a standout year for PRS, marking four decades of craftsmanship with limited-edition releases, new model launches we’ve reviewed, and a slick media campaign featuring Paul himself in the ‘Rules of Tone’ YouTube series. Extending that celebration into a major sale feels like the cherry on top of what’s been an incredible year.

If you’re not sure where to start, in my opinion $170 off the ever-popular PRS SE Silver Sky at Guitar Center is a brilliant deal on a versatile fan favorite. Or, if you’re after something a little more premium, there’s a massive $410 saving on the stunning 40th Anniversary CE 24 Special at Sweetwater. This model comes complete with a quilted top, dual 85/15 humbuckers, and an NS-01 single coil in the middle for tones on tap.

There are plenty more killer deals to check out, but I’ve hand-picked my five favorites from the sales below. I’ve also included some of the Guitar World team’s video demos further down the page so you can hear them in action. Let’s dive in:
