Fender Deluxe locking tuners: $87.99 $51.70
The easiest upgrade you can make to your guitar is fitting locking tuners – and Amazon is blowing out Fender’s pro-level units with a 41% discount. Designed to directly replace standard Stratocaster and Telecaster tuners (or anything with a dual guide pin), these locking tuners will make string changing easier and improve your guitar’s tuning stability by neatening up those wraps: simply clamp and tune up. The $51.70 offer is a limited-time deal at Amazon, but you can also snap them up for $55 at Guitar Center using the coupon code cm15.

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?
Fender American Professional II Eclipse models: 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.
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 the best in its class for sure – and better yet, you can save $200 at Fender.
Strats don't come much more striking than this. The Bubble Gum Metallic Fender Ultra Stratocaster is a guitar that sounds and plays just as good as it looks, and with £700 off at Andertons, it has just become very tempting!
Combining elements from both the Tele and Jazzmater, the Paranormal Offset Telecaster is more than the sum of its parts. This is a unique instrument that more than delivers on tone, playability and style.
The Squier Paranormal Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe has got the tones to cover a whole range of playing styles thanks to its Fender/Gibson mash-up DNA. It plays incredibly well for the money and looks great to boot. Don't sleep on this one, bag it before the deal runs out on Wednesday!
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.
Fender Duel Pugilist Distortion: $229 $137
We called Fender’s Pugilist Distortion one of the best distortion pedals on the market. And what’s better than one Pugilist? Two, of course, and that’s exactly what the Duel Pugilist provides: two standalone distortion circuits with a wealth of stacking options. At 40% off at Fender.com, it’s one of the savviest investments you can make for your heavy tone.
Fender American Professional II range: $200 off
The American guitar giant’s premium range aims to capture the best of vintage and modern Fender features.

🎸 Electric guitars
Fender Player II Stratocaster: was $799 $599
The Player II lineup revamps Fender's most popular guitar line with fresh looks, the return of rosewood and rolled fingerboard edges for maximum comfort. The range only launched in July, so we weren't expecting to see any deals this Cyber Monday, but Musician's Friend has this limited-edition Strat in British Racing Green for just $599 (that's $200 off) – and an HSS version in Ocean Turquoise for $649. We've already seen a couple of Player II deals sell out, so trust us: these won't last long.
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.
The Vintera II '60s Tele is the perfect axe for those who want the best of both worlds. This Tele has plenty of vintage mojo in the style department but also benefits from modern features such as a contemporary neck profile and hotter pickups.

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.
We gave this Mustang a five-star review, and there are a few reasons why. It's well-built, incredibly fun to play, has killer retro style, and can cover more tonal ground than its surface-level Nirvana associations would have you believe. At just $999 from Fender itself this Cyber Monday, this is a fantastic gigging companion for garage-rock, punk, surf-rock, or, of course, grunge.
Sometimes, the track you are working on is crying out for the unmistakable sound of a 12-string, and with the Squier Paranormal Jazzmaster XII, you can nail the tone without breaking the bank! Save $90 at Fender.com.
🎶 Acoustic guitars
Even when it isn't on sale, this striking acoustic offers fantastic value for money and with its slim neck it's ideal for beginners. It even comes loaded with Fishman electronics. So, with $49 off for Black Friday, the deal just got even sweeter.
The Malibu Player may be small, but this pint-sized acoustic packs a punch. Featuring a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and 6-in-line headstock, this guitar is immensely playable, sounds fantastic and looks pretty cool while doing it.
🎵 Bass guitars
The Mustang Bass has made quite the impact since it was released back in '64, finding its way into the hands of everyone from Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads, Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones and even Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance - and now you can join the club for a less, with $150 off while stocks last.
Who says beginner basses need to be boring? The Paranormal Rascal Bass from Squier is somewhat of a Frankenstein’s monster of a bass, combining features from several 1960s-era Fender bass models to concoct an instrument that’s the best of all worlds. Save $100 at Sweetwater.
The Squier Bronco Bass offers both classic looks and quintessential tone at a very affordable price point, featuring a thin and lightweight body, uber-playable 30" short scale length, die-cast tuning machines and a Squier single-coil pickup for clear, articulate tone. And now, you can get your hands on one along with an amp and accessories for only $329.

❓Cyber Monday Fender deals: FAQ
When is the Fender Cyber Monday sale?
Cyber Monday 2024 will land on Monday, the 2nd of December. The deals will typically extend into the middle of the month, allowing anyone late to the party the chance to catch up or bag a last-minute Christmas present.
How long is the Fender Cyber Monday sale?
Typically Cyber Monday sales go on for the whole weekend, but the deals won't be restricted to those four days. Previous experience tells us that some of the best Cyber Monday Fender deals will emerge well in advance of the event – for example this year we've seen reductions on Player Plus and Player Series guitars already. Some deals will also linger afterwards into December.
What Fender deals should I expect?
All major musical instrument retailers get in on the Cyber Monday Fender deals action, slashing prices on a wealth of products from beginner guitars to amps.
We've included some highlights from last year below, but some of our favorite deals were $150 off the price of the Fender Player Tele Plus Top, 50% off a one-year subscription to Fender Play, and 24% off the fabulous Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster. Of course, there were many more offers to be had on amps, bass guitars, ukuleles, accessories, and even Fender-branded clothing.
The Amazon and Walmart Cyber Monday sales will be huge, too. Not only do they sell a fair range of music-making gear, but these are also the places to pick up things like wireless headphones and Amazon Echo devices.
What else can I buy in the Fender Cyber Monday sale?
Obviously, we are going to see a steady stream of discounted guitars and basses in this year's Fender Cyber Monday sale, but that's not all that will be on offer. We are likely to see prices slashed on Fender's online learning platform, Fender Play, too. In fact, last year we saw 50% off a one-year subscription, and we are hoping to see a similar - if not better - discount this year.
Again, if last year is anything to go by, we will also see a slew of Fender official merchandise go on sale. This includes official t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and other wearables - meaning you can show the world who your favorite guitar brand is without breaking the bank.
Do Fender guitars hold their values?
As one of the biggest guitar brands in the world, for the most part, a Fender guitar will hold its value well. This is particularly true with Custom Shop and American-made models, as these are top-of-the-range instruments. Some limited edition models might even appreciate in value, although there are no guarantees with this sort of thing.
🛒 How to prepare for this year's Cyber Monday Fender deals
1. Create a wishlist early - There will be loads of Fender deals flying around on Cyber Monday weekend, so by creating a wishlist beforehand you'll be able to stay focused on what you need.
2. Work out what you actually need - Have a look at what you've already got in your collection and decide where the gaps are before making a purchase. If you've already got five Stratocasters, maybe it's better that you get something different like a Tele or a Jazzmaster!
3. Consider your music-making goals - Think about the future and what you want to achieve in your next year of music-making. A new guitar is great, but maybe what you actually need are some pedals to enhance your tone, or a new amp to give you a better base to build from.
4. Make some room - We all hoard gear here, and although parting with it can be really difficult, there are a couple of good reasons to get rid of stuff you no longer use. First up, you're potentially freeing up room in your home or practice space, for which your family and partner may well thank you. Secondly, you're potentially making more cash for a future gear purchase, whether that's an upgrade to your guitar or some much-needed accessories.
We've got loads of Fender and Squier buying guides which will make it a lot easier to pick a purchase in the Cyber Monday sale. Check them out below for more info:
