Black Friday Fender deals 2025: last chance to save big on Fender and Squier guitars

The Fender Player II Telecaster is a unique beast, trucking in the same retro-modern approach as its Stratocaster counterpart but with more of an eye on the present day. The silky Forest Green colorway is a delight, especially when set off against that maple/rosewood neck-and-fingerboard combo. A modern C-profile neck and medium-jumbo frets again make for fast and loose playing, and the two Alnico V single-coils meet the twangy occasion with gusto. This, too, for a stunning 30% discount at Fender for a limited time.

Thanks to its ultra-cool look, low cost, and shorter scale length, the Squier Sonic Strat is a great choice for a budget beginner electric. It's super comfortable to play and at just below $200, exceptional value for money.

With a huge $530 discount over at Sweetwater, this deal on the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster is one of the best I've seen this Black Friday. Getting an MIA Strat brand new for less than a grand is sensational value, and with Yosemite pickups and a push-pull control for adding the neck pickup into any position makes it a super versatile instrument.

This super cool Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SJ is quite unlike most other Fender models I’ve come across, blending the offset shape of a Jazzmaster and single coil in the neck position, with the classic bridge pickup of a Telecaster. It’s got a huge $141.90 discount in the Fender sale, so if you’re after a guitar that’s quite unlike any other, this is a great shout.

This mini Stratocaster is a great buy for the new guitar player, or just someone who wants a good quality travel electric. The small scale makes it ideal for younger children, adults with smaller hands, or anyone who prefers the compact feel of a short-scale guitar. With a sweet $30 off the price at Musician's Friend, it's a great buy for beginner guitar players.

This MIA Telecaster features a unique spruce body, which is a rarity amongst Fender guitars. The bright and responsive tone of spruce is a perfect match for that classic Telecaster twang, and it's a really cool, fresh take on the tried-and-tested Tele formula. With a massive $570 reduction in the Sweetwater Black Friday sale, it's the perfect way to pick up a guitar different from all the rest for much less.

Combining two of Fender's most famous effects in spring reverb and tremolo, this pedal is perfect for anyone who loves those classic effects built into Fender amps. It's got a massive $98 discount at Sweetwater right now, perfect if you want to pick up some iconic effects for less.

Another unusual offspring of the Squier Paranormal series, this Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe has been discounted by a huge $141.90, taking the price down to well below $350. It’s one of the coolest Squier guitars I’ve ever played, with dual humbuckers and a four knob control layout giving some deliciously thick guitar tones. It’s even got coil splits for extra tonal versatility, making this a real powerhouse for relatively little cash.

The Fender Frontman was my first guitar amp, and I imagine that's the same for a lot of guitarists. I still have mine and recently used it on a recording, because it turns out cheap amps cranked to the max sound pretty cool. Whether you're buying for an experiment or you need a quality practice amp for a beginner guitar player, this will absolutely do the job, now even cheaper with 12% off at Guitar Center.

This Fender Vintage Ads Coaster Set is a great gift idea for the Fender fan who already owns too many guitars. Reduced by a cheeky $6.30, you get four different coasters depicting the 1960s ‘You Won’t Part With Yours’ campaign, which saw Fender guitars being used in places of varying insanity, such as skydiving, scuba diving, and surfing. A great shout as a stocking filler for the player who has it all.

This deal was hidden right at the bottom of the page on the Fender website, but precious little gets past me. Packing an SH pickup configuration and a Bigsby B50, this is an absolutely amazing deal with a hefty $157.50 taking the price down to just $367.49. It’s got some really nice retro touches too, with a vintage-tinted gloss neck, double-bound body, and a vintage-inspired headstock design.

If you’re looking for a guitar that’s a little more premium than a Squier, this Fender American Performer Stratocaster gives you an MIA guitar for below a grand, which is awesome value in my book. It’s been given a chunky $240 reduction in the sale, and is packing two Yosemite single coil pickups and a Double Tap humbucker that lets you split down to a single coil. Add in a satin finished neck for smooth playability and jumbo frets and you’ve got yourself a gig-ready guitar for a lot less.

This Squier Affinity Series Telecaster is a great choice for a beginner guitarist, and with a nice $75 reduction on the regular price, it leaves plenty of budget for a practice amplifier and accessories. This limited edition version comes in an all black colorway, making it a great shout for those into rock and metal guitar, and is plenty playable enough for any beginner to get their hands around, thanks to Fender’s trademark ‘C’ shape neck profile.

The PD-220E is a deceptively good guitar, especially with an extra 11% knocked off the price over at the official Fender shop. It's resonant with clearly defined tones across the frequency spectrum, all of which is backed by tidy build quality and a stunning look.

Squier's Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass is one of our favorite bass guitars – certainly the best if you're on a budget – and its P-Bass sibling is no slouch, either. While its build quality isn't fully bulletproof, it's just about impossible to beat this Precision Bass' super-cool vintage looks and super-smooth playability at this price, which, for Cyber Monday, has been cut further, by a clean $75.01.

A HS Telecaster is a really unique guitar, replacing the oft-maligned Tele neck single coil with a humbucker. Many guitarists swear by it, and with a gigantic $300 off the price over at the Musician's Friend sale, it might just be time for you to try one.

This adorable pint-sized version of Fender’s revered Deluxe guitar amps is the ideal gift for the guitarist in your life. It accurately replicates the classic design, right down to the chickenhead knobs and dogbone handle. The Mini Deluxe’s 2” speaker puts out one watt of power, and the amp features controls for Tone, Volume and Gain, plus an onboard headphone output. At just $29 – $20 off the regular price of $49.99 – from Amazon, can you afford not to pick one up?

Featuring over 100 amp and effect models, over 6000 Fender-captured impulse responses, a 7-inch color touch-screen, a 60-second stereo looper, as well as four effects loops and ten proprietary footswitches, this unit is among the best in its class – and better yet, you can save $200 at Fender.

We're truly spoiled for choice this year when it comes to killer Squier deals, and you can add this mouth-watering discount on the firm's none-cooler Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Thinline to the tally. Quite simply, if you're on the hunt for a lightweight, versatile guitar for a modest price, this – at just $329 for a limited time – should be at the forefront of your considerations.

Fender Player Plus Telecaster is a fantastic option for those seeking the unique sound only a Telecaster provides but with a sleek modern edge thanks to the addition of a series pickup mode.

First up is the drop-dead-gorgeous Player Strat in Forest Green. It's no secret that we absolutely love the Player Series II and we love them even more when there is $240 off!

Featuring a duo of V-Mod II single-coil pickups, a clever top-load/string-through Tele bridge with compensated brass "bullet" saddles and a seriously playable "Deep C neck", this is easily one of the best Telecasters on the market right now. Save $200 at Fender.

Next up is the retro-inspired '70s Jag in the eye-catching Vintage White finish. This guitar has all the vintage charm of an original Jag but without the hefty price tag. Right now, this guitar is down to $1,349; that's a saving of $150.

Fender American Professional II Eclipse: from $1,649
Fender’s Black Friday exclusives this year are absolute show-stoppers, with a custom Eclipse finish that’s limited to 400 units of each model. The Strat in particular is a unique proposition, with a hardtail bridge, roasted maple neck and HSS pickup configuration.

Fender American Professional II: $200 off
The American guitar giant’s premium range aims to capture the best of vintage and modern Fender features.
