Another day, another Amazon sales event. This time it’s their Prime Big Deal Days, which takes place over two days and is affectionately known as ‘Prime Day 2’ around the Guitar World office. While the rest of the world is going crazy over discounted air fryers, the only thing we care about is good deals on guitar gear. But honestly, Amazon has mostly failed us guitarists in that department (although we have spotted a couple of decent Positive Grid and Boss deals). If you’re looking for a bargain right now, the best places to shop right now are nowhere near Amazon.
So, while it’s not worth spending much time on Amazon, there are plenty of places that are currently running epic sales, including Guitar Center, Sweetwater, Musician’s Friend, Fender and IK Multimedia. We’ve rounded up the best ones below.
As we get closer to this year’s Black Friday guitar deals, you’re going to start seeing more and more discounts on the gear you love, whether that's a shred-worthy electric guitar, a classy new acoustic guitar, or a thunderous bass. We cover sales events like this year-round and we know great deals from mediocre ones.
In the UK
Amazon is running it's Prime Big Deal Days sale there too, but once again the music gear offering is pretty poor. Here's where you should shop instead:
- Andertons: Major PRS savings for a limited time
- Thomann: Explore the latest Harley Benton deals
- Gear4Music: Shop discounted Epiphones and more
- PMT: Guitar deals from just £99
