Guitar Center Cyber Monday: FAQ

Cyber Monday is the name given to the Monday after Black Friday and Cyber Weekend. Many online retailers, like Guitar Center, will be continuing their outstanding Black Friday deals, and sometimes adding a few more special offers into the mix. If you want a brand new piece of guitar gear, then Cyber Monday is a great time to grab it.

This year, Cyber Monday will be on Monday 28 November. If last year's Guitar Center Cyber Monday deals are anything to go by, we are likely to see some brilliant deals. 

Guitar Center Cyber Monday: What to expect

In the past, Guitar Center has offered big money off Fender Player Strats in Surf Pearl, Shell Pink and a very Gilmour-esque black-on-black, bringing their prices down  from $699 to $599. The gorgeous compact Vox AC10 was available for a whisper under $500 after a $100 discount, too.

First and foremost, I'm a guitar enthusiast – a fanatic, some might say. I'm a firm believer that most of the world's problems can be solved with a Gibson SG and a catastrophically loud amp. As a Senior Deals Writer on Guitar World, I write about guitars for a living, but in a past life, I worked in music retail for 7 years, advising customers on the right guitars, basses, drums, pianos, and PA systems for their needs. I also have a passion for live sound; I'm a fully qualified sound engineer with experience working in various venues in Scotland, where I live with my wife and dog.
