We saw some awesome deals on PRS in last year's Black Friday sale, and this one is available super early this year. With a huge 15% saving, the PRS SE Standard 24-08 is a brilliantly put-together guitar that delivers excellent tuning stability and a huge array of sounds thanks to the switching circuit. It punches way above its weight even at full price, so the extra off here makes it a must-buy.

The Squier Paranormal series offers some really unique instruments, and this Nashville Stratocaster is a great example of that. With a cheeky $100 discount at Guitar Center, it amalgamates the best parts of the Stratocaster and Telecaster into a unique hybrid of both. It delivers a huge variety of tones with the bite of the Tele bridge pickup, the warmth of the neck, plus the spanky tones of the Strat middle position. Well worth a look if you want something different from the norm.

With a range of Limited Edition finishes, the Traditional Pro IV at Guitar Center is now reduced by a generous $100. This Les Paul is a brilliant choice for those looking to upgrade from a beginner model, and it has plenty of surprises under the hood. Modern features like coil-splitting, a treble-bleed circuit, and locking tuners bring innovative twists to a classic.

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.

Olive Drab is easily one of the sweetest finishes out there, but a $120 saving in Guitar Center’s Black Friday sale makes it even cooler. As if that weren’t enough, the addition of a Bigsby tremolo on an ES-335 is a unique touch, adding another layer of versatility to this iconic guitar. Looking for something a bit different? Act fast before it sells out!

Gretsch's G2410TG Streamliner is our favorite Gretsch guitar for those on a budget, but we're just as enamored of its sibling, the G2420T Streamliner. It's just about impossible to get gorgeous vintage style like this for this price, and that's before you get to the fire exuded by the guitar's pair of Broad'Tron humbuckers. For $349 this Cyber Monday, those looking to get their rockabilly on for a budget need search no further.

You can save $120 off the PRS SE NF3 list price at Guitar Center this weekend. The model brought something genuinely new to the S-style table earlier this year, with its unique Narrowfield hum-canceling pickups and 25” scale-length – and was described as coming “dangerously close” to the firm’s hallowed US builds. Use the saving to make some minor mods and you’ll have a serious player on your hands...

The Dove is one the finest Gibson acoustic guitars. However, it does not, to put it mildly, come cheap. So, if you're looking for the Dove's ornate style and booming sound for, with this Cyber Monday discount, 1/10th (!) the price, look no further. Though it features an imitation tortoise pickguard, rather than the real thing, the Epi Dove's Fishman Sonitone pickup system and Grover machine heads are high quality, and make this a perfect choice for those who want a luxurious-looking acoustic at a non-first-class price.

An honorable mention in our round-up of the best acoustic guitars for beginners, this is the perfect solution for those who want a classic Gibson design but don't have a few thousand dollars to part with. Its build quality is rock-solid, while its Fishman Sonitone pickup and Sonicore preamp help deliver a sound that's well-balanced and ideal for various styles.

Those who are charmed by Martin's heritage but are looking for an acoustic with a slightly more modern appearance would do well to check out this Special GPC X1E X Series model. An amazing $150 cheaper this Cyber Monday, this acoustic features Martin's stellar E-1 pickup system, with its scalloped X-bracing helping to ensure that it booms and projects when un-amplified as well.

This deal, which takes an incredible $350 off Martin's stately Special D Classic Dreadnought, might just be the best acoustic guitar deal we've seen in the last week. A versatile, well-built model with that classic look, this dreadnought – at $699 this Cyber Monday – is a steal for anyone looking for that booming, sustaining Martin tone at a non-bank-breaking price.

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 $150.

The ultimate analog delay pedal has been given a massive discount for Black Friday. There are lush sounds and huge versatility to be discovered here – and with $200 off, this is an absolute steal.

Inspired by the legendary RE-201 delay machine of the '70s and '80s, the Boss RE-202 Space Echo is a certified delay powerhouse. This is our favorite tape delay stompbox, and one of the best all-round delay pedals you'll be able to find on the market. We also gave it a 4.5 star review, lauding it for its faithful RE-201 tones and user-friendly interface. It is currently $80 off, meaning you can channel the tones of David Gilmour, Radiohead and more for a tidy $299.

Line 6 Helix range: up to $150 off at Guitar Center
Guitar Center is offering up to $150 off across its entire catalog of Line 6 Helix products – some of the most popular and powerful multi-effects and modeler units on the market. My eye is caught by the $50 discount on the compact HX One, which launched this year. It scored 4.5 stars in our HX One review and is very new, very handy and very good value...

Dunlop, MXR, Way Huge pedals: 20% off
A blanket 20% discount across Jim Dunlop's huge portfolio of pedals? Guitar Center, you really are spoiling us. Everything from the MXR Carbon Copy ($149 $119) to Dookie Drive ($199 $159), Dunlop Cry Baby ($99 $79) to Way Huge Swollen Pickle ($149 $119) are included.

IK Multimedia TONEX: was $399, now $299
IK Multimedia's near-perfect TONEX pedal is a key player in the amp modeler market, and thanks to its recent update – which added greater effects potential – it's never been better. AI modeling tech lets you capture the tone of your own gear and take it on the road, while the factory-made presets offer some of the best amp models in the business. A serious competitor for the HX Stomp – and currently $100 cheaper than usual. The TONEX One mini pedal is reduced to $149, too.

JHS Pedals: 25% off all pedals, now starting at $74
Josh Scott knows tone. The founder of JHS shapes what's hot in the pedal world, but he won't admit just how good this deal is. It covers everything JHS has released, including the brand-new Flight Delay and Violet Lari Basilio Distortion. But you'll find the best bargains on the already-affordable 3 Series, which has been slashed from $99 to $74 apiece at Guitar Center.

Featuring over 100 amp and effect models, over 6000 Fender-captured impulse responses, a 7-inch color touchscreen, 60-second stereo looper, as well as four effects loops and 10 proprietary footswitches, Fender's flagship amp modeler is among the best in its class – and you can currently save $200 at Guitar Center.

Zoom MS-70CDR+ MultiStomp: $149.99, $109.99
Over at Guitar Center, the MS-70CDR+ has got a tasty $40 discount, bringing it to just above the $100 mark. The original Zoom MultiStomps earned something a cult following thanks to their versatility. Small, yet packing a shedload of sounds inside the MultiStomp is the perfect 'Swiss army knife' pedal to add a particular tone or utility to your 'board when you don't want to take up too much room or spend too much money.

That's not to mention $200 off the flagship GT-1000 (now $899) and $100 off the touchscreen-equipped GX-100 (now $499).

Line 6 HX One: was $299 now $249
The HX One has only been around for a year, but Line 6 has seen fit to give it a tidy discount for Cyber Monday. The HX One is essential as that 'do-all' pedal for your 'board – in our review, we called it "a bargain for a complete collection of effects that most guitarists will never grow tired of", and that was at the original price of $299. Given that, $249 for a pedal that can handle pretty much any effect you can imagine, all in a compact chassis, is the best gift you can give your pedalboard this year.

Eventide pedals: save up to $100
There are price cuts on five Eventide twin-footswitch effects – including the MicroPitch Delay, Blackhole Reverb, TriceraChorus, Riptide Overdrive and Uni-Vibe, and UltraTap Delay/Reverb (all now $199) – while the all-conquering H9 MAX multi-effects has had $100 lopped off, now clocking in at $499.

Over at Guitar Center, the MS-70CDR+ has got a tasty $40 discount, bringing it to just above the $100 mark.

Small, yet packing a shedload of sounds inside the MultiStomp is the perfect 'Swiss army knife' pedal to add a particular tone or utility to your 'board when you don't want to take up too much room or spend too much money.

MXR pedals are criminally underrated in our opinion, and the M66S Classic Overdrive is one of our favorites. Already a cheap guitar pedal, with an extra $23 knocked off the price taking it down below the $50 mark, it's insane value for money.

If you like your pedals wild and unpredictable, the Pigtronix Gloamer should satisfy your need for the weird. It's got a nice $80 discount at Guitar Center, taking it down below the $200 mark. Best paired with other pedals like reverbs and delays, its compressing, volume swelling action can get you some properly out-there tones.
