It may be the unofficial end of summer, but there are still plenty of reasons to be cheerful for Fender fans this Labor Day weekend. Over at the official Fender shop, the Labor Day sale has come early, and you can bag yourself up to 30% off guitars, bass guitars, accessories, guitar parts, and apparel whilst stocks last. From full-fat Fender’s to super Squier guitars, no matter what your budget there’s a great guitar here for you.

The Fender Labor Day sale runs from 8now up until 9/4 with more deals likely to be added, so there’s only a limited amount of time to take advantage. Stocks on certain items are limited too, so once they’re gone they’re gone.

Being deal-hungry, guitar aficionados ourselves we had to have a quick look through the sale to see anything that caught our eye, and boy are there some tasty guitars here. First up, one of our personal favorites, the Fender Aerodyne Special Stratocaster HSS is reduced from its usual price of $1329.99 to just $999.99, that’s a $330 discount. This guitar is made in Japan so the quality is top-notch, and the neck plays unbelievably smoothly.

Next, we have to shout out the absolutely stunning-looking Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster with its eye-catching satin Sea Foam Green and gold combo. It won’t be to everyone’s taste, but that hefty 30% discount taking it down to just $349.99 is certainly tempting for us. It’s a vintage edition Jazzmaster, so you get vintage tuners, aged chrome hardware, and of course the classic non-locking Jazzmaster tremolo.

Finally, life just wouldn’t be the same without a trusty Telecaster, and we’ve picked out the Fender Vintera 70s Telecaster Deluxe from the sale. It’s got a massive 20% off at the moment, taking the price well south of a grand to just $899.99. With its dual wide-range humbuckers, this guitar is a proper tone machine that’s versatile enough to cover a variety of styles, perfect for the guitarist who likes to chop and change.
