The Sweetwater Cyber Monday deals haven't arrived officially, but you can still get your hands on bargain gear in the Sweetwater Black Friday sale, which features a mind-boggling up to 80% off. There's an awesome array of guitar gear available in the sale, making it one of the best places to pick up a deal.

One of my favorite guitars of the year, the Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 has got an awesome $300 discount at the moment, taking the price below a grand. Even if you're not a huge Foos fan, it's got a pair of Gibson USA humbuckers in it which makes it more than worth the price.

Got your eye on a few things and wondering whether Cyber Monday is the time to buy? Here's a few tips from our personal experience that will ensure you're ready to strike if the gear you want is up for grabs:

1. Create a wishlist early - The most sensible way to take advantage of this year's Cyber Monday music deals is to know in advance what you’re looking for. This will make searching much easier, rather than having to trawl through loads of deals you don’t want to find the ones you do, or pondering things you don't need. To help you create your dream shopping list, take the time to explore our expert and up-to-date buying guides and reviews.

2. Work out what you actually need - Check out your favourite brands, see what you need and will genuinely use - don’t waste your cash and fill your basket with stuff that will never truly see any action.

3. Consider your music goals - What do you want to achieve with your music over the next 12 months or so? Do you want to gig more? Learn a new instrument? Or finally, record your songs? Now could be the time to invest in gear that helps you fulfil your musical aspirations.

4. Streamline your current gear - Something else you should consider ahead of time is whether you have enough space in your collection for new gear. Could you offload some gear you don't use to make room and generate funds for some new gear?

5. Sign up to mailing lists - In addition to bookmarking this page, we'd recommend signing up to mailing lists of your favourite retailers now to get the jump on the best deals when they do come around.
