If you’re waiting for the Black Friday guitar deals to arrive at the end of the month, you needn’t hang around. Thomann just launched a killer early Black Friday sale with some stupendous discounts of up to 69% off, including two five-star guitars, a five-star rated guitar pedal, and one of my favorite loopers with £212 off the price. Although there’s not a huge amount on offer, the discounts are massive, so it’s well worth having a browse to see what you can save on.

I’m expecting that Thomann will launch its full Black Friday sale soon, but for now there are some stonking deals here that will appeal to any kind of guitarist. I’ve had a look at all 52 items in the sale and picked some of my favorites for you below, so to go straight to the very best deals from the sale, just keep scrolling.

One of the best preamp pedals I’ve encountered over the past year, the Tone King Imperial Tri-Tube Preamp delivers stupendously good tube amp tones all from the tiny enclosure of a guitar pedal. It’s got three 12AX7 valves, two channels, and a footswitchable reverb and tremolo, making it super versatile, and with £122 off in the sale, well worth picking up if you don’t fancy carrying a heavy amp around with you in the new year.

Strandberg Boden Essential 6
Save 32% (£339)
Strandberg Boden Essential 6: was £1,050 now £711 at Thomann
Read moreRead less

The Strandberg Boden Essential 6 is one of the weirdest, yet most satisfying guitars I’ve played over the last few years. The neck profile takes some getting used to, as does the lack of a headstock, but once it clicked I found myself shredding all over the neck with aplomb. It’s got a gigantic £339 reduction in the sale, making it super value for the guitarist who prioritizes playability over everything.

Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335
Save 10% (£90)
Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335: was £875 now £785 at Thomann
Read moreRead less

Dave Grohl’s signature Epiphone DG-335 made some serious waves when it landed last year, mainly because of its seriously good spec that features USA Gibson Burstbuckers. It’s currently got a cool £90 off at the moment, and with its distinctive headstock and unusual F-holes, it’s a must-have for any Foo Fighters fans out there. We gave it a full five stars out of five in our review, praising it for its awesome pickups, value for money spec, and flawless build quality.

One of our top-rated looper pedals has a gigantic £212 reduction at the moment, making it the biggest discount I’ve ever seen on the Pigtronix Infinity 3.

ESP LTD EC-01 FT: was £1,025 now £694 at Thomann

If you’re after a guitar that keeps it simple with killer tone, the ESP LTD EC-01 FT is an excellent choice. We gave it four and a half stars out of five in our review, and with a Seymour Duncan Custom 14 humbucker it delivers seriously aggressive tones. It’s currently got a massive £331 discount in the early Cyberweek sale, and with a distinctive recessed bridge that enhances playability, and a push-pull knob for accessing single coil tones, this is a stunning guitar now at an incredibly low price.
