Prime Day Deals: Quick menu

With the curtain falling on Prime Day 2023, you'd be forgiven for thinking the deals have ended. But if you're worried you've missed out, lucky for you there are still loads of great deals to take advantage of on Amazon and beyond.

If you're after a new practice amp, we'd point you straight to the Positive Grid store on Amazon, where there's up to 25% off Spark amp bundles, including $90 off a 40W Spark amp and Traveller bag combo, while the excellent and portable Spark Mini has a cool $46 off right now. The Spark is one of our favorite practice amps ever, so we'll always recommend it when there's a healthy discount available.

If you have a bigger budget saved for Prime Day and you're looking for a new electric guitar or bass, there are some hefty discounts on Squier guitars, with some of them seeing even bigger discounts than those in the original Prime Day sales. Over at the official Fender website, the Fender Days sale is still in full swing, with 20% off Fender Player Series electrics and basses as well as discounts on select acoustics and ukuleles.

But Prime Day isn't just about hardware deals, one of our current favorites is an epic 3 months free Amazon Music Unlimited subscription for new Prime subscribers. You can't argue with millions of free songs in the palm of your hand!

There are usually a few instrument deals away from Amazon too, but things have been a little quiet this year. That said, Sweetwater's demo gear sale is a great opportunity to pick up a dream guitar for less. And if you're in the UK, Thomann is celebrating 25 years of Harley Benton with 25% off a range of models – at these prices the killer budget guitars just became even more attractive.

This page is the place to find all the best post-Prime Day guitar deals at Amazon and beyond to save you from having to do the searching yourself.

Do I need a Prime subscription for Prime Day?

If you want to take advantage of Amazon’s Prime Day guitar deals the answer is a big fat yes. Amazon always offers free trials to those who haven't used the service before, so if you were feeling tactical you could sign up for a free trial closer to the event, grab the most enticing bargains and then cancel your subscription once the items are in your hands, but we didn’t tell you to do that...

There are plenty of perks to being an Amazon Prime Member, of course, including faster delivery options, exclusive deals and access to Prime Music and Prime Video, so it could be worth becoming a fully paid up member if you're a regular Amazon shopper.

At the time of writing, a monthly Amazon Prime subscription costs $14.99/£7.99 (which you can cancel at any time) and a yearly option is $139/£79.

There's also a student tier available that currently costs $7.49/£3.99 per month or $69/£39 per year.

Where can I find the best non-Amazon guitar deals?

In 2021 and 2022, in addition to Amazon, there were great guitar discounts doing the rounds from Fender Play, Musician’s Friend and Guitar Center, plus Walmart and Best Buy on everything from beginner acoustic guitars to reverb pedals. We’re hoping for more guitar activity from retailers including Sweetwater in 2023. We heard whispers of some great guitar offers on the horizon, so watch this space.

Although it’s an Amazon invention, Prime Day has always created a buzz and gets people in the mood for a bargain. Because of this, we’re confident more retailers will get involved with great Prime Day guitar deals this year. 

Last year we also saw certain retailers offer discount codes of up to 20% on a whole range of a great guitar gear.
