🥇 Editor's picks

Boss Instrument Cable Bundle
Save 20% ($10)
Boss Instrument Cable Bundle: was $49.99 now $39.99 at Musician's Friend

It might not be as exciting as a new guitar or pedal, but quality guitar cables are a must for any guitarist. Over at the Musician's Friend early Black Friday sale, we spotted this Boss Instrument/Patch cable bundle with a nice $10 discount. It features a single instrument cable and two patch cables, making it a great buy for guitarists who need to stock up for less.

PRS SE NF3
Save 20% ($160)
PRS SE NF3: was $799 now $639 at Guitar Center

You can save $160 off the PRS SE NF3 list price at Guitar Center right now. The model brought something genuinely new to the S-style table, 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...

Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 Semi-Hollow
Save 23% ($300)
Epiphone Dave Grohl DG-335 Semi-Hollow: was $1,299 now $999 at Guitar Center

Grohl’s Gibson has become iconic, and now with the Epiphone replica, you can bag that famous Foos sound at a fraction of the cost. Loaded with Gibson USA pickups, with a Burstbucker 2 in the neck position and Burstbucker 3 in the bridge, there is no better way to nail this famous Grohl tone. Save $300 right now at Guitar Center.

Squier Paranormal Nashville Strat
Save $71
Squier Paranormal Nashville Strat: was $472.99 now $401.99 at Guitar Center

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.

Positive Grid Spark Neo
Tried and Tested
Save 20% ($50)
Positive Grid Spark Neo: was $249 now $199 at Sweetwater Sound

Taking the idea of a guitar headphone amp quite literally, the Positive Grid Spark Neo gives you all the myriad tones from the Spark practice amps and puts them inside a set of headphones you can connect wirelessly to your guitar. Here's what our reviewer had to say about it:

"There’s a risk of the wireless convenience coming across like it’s solving a First World problem, and in a way, it is. But once you’ve experienced it, it makes complete sense. If the ability to grab your guitar and quickly start playing without cables sounds good (and trust me, it is), then you’re going to love the Spark Neo."

It's currently got a cool $50 discount at Sweetwater at the moment, giving you an all-in-one practice rig for less than $200. Bargain!

Xvive U2 Wireless System
Bargain Buy
Save 23% ($35)
Xvive U2 Wireless System: was $154.99 now $119.99 at Musician's Friend

Guitar wireless systems used to be crazy expensive, so this deal on the Xvive U2 Wireless System is a great reminder of just how far we've come in terms of the technology. With a $35 reduction at Musican's Friend, this wireless kit is superb value for money, and the freeing feeling of doing away with cables is a convenience that all guitarists really need to experience.

Universal Audio Guitar Amp Bundle
Software Savings
Save 50% ($150)
Universal Audio Guitar Amp Bundle: was $299 now $149 at uaudio.com

At half price over at the official UA website, the UAD Guitar Amp Bundle is a stunning deal for players who use an audio interface or like to record their playing. It includes four iconic guitar amps, including a trio of the most recorded amps ever with models on the Fender Deluxe Reverb, Marshall Plexi, and the Vox AC30 included. You also get the Woodrow 55 which is based on a Fender Tweed amp, and if you grab the free Showtime 64 plugin, that's five top-class amp models for less than $150.

Keeley Halo Andy Timmons Dual Echo
Pedal Deal
Save 15% ($44.85)
Keeley Halo Andy Timmons Dual Echo: was $299 now $254.15 at Musician's Friend

Over at the Musician's Friend Rocktober sale this Keeley Halo Andy Timmons Dual Echo has got a tasty $44.85 reduction. At the time of writing I couldn't see this pedal any cheaper elsewhere, so this is the lowest price you'll find it new at the moment. Based on Timmons' dual Memory Man setup, this pedal gives you a much more usable form factor to recreate his iconic tones, and start creating your own. You can use it as two separate pedals or combine the sounds, making it a super versatile addition to any 'board.

Fender Jack White Pano Verb
Used Deal
Save 20% ($600)
Fender Jack White Pano Verb: was $2,999 now $2,399 at Reverb

I think we can all agree that the Fender Jack White Pano Verb was one of the crazier releases of the past year or so. It's also particularly pricey if you're looking for an amp that does things a little differently. Over at Reverb you can bag one mint condition with a hefty $600 reduction, but if you take into account the new price of $3,149, you're actually saving a whopping $750. With its combo of 15" and 10" speakers, stereo reverb and tremolo effects, plus those distinctive looks, this is a premium bit of a gear and a proper head turner.

When is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday 2025 will land on Monday, 1 December. The deals won't be restricted to those just Cyber Weekend, though. Previous experience tells us that some of the best Cyber Monday guitar deals will emerge well in advance of the event, and extend well into the following week – so keep checking this page to see what epic deals we uncover.

Should I buy guitar gear online during Cyber Monday?

If you're concerned about buying a guitar or other gear on Cyber Monday without playing it first, you needn’t be. Online music instrument retailers like Guitar Center, Musician’s Friend and Sweetwater offer hassle-free returns as standard, so you can purchase a guitar, play it in the comfort and privacy of your home and, if it’s not right, send it back without issue.

You should check the specific returns policy for your chosen retailer before you purchase, but most offer between 30-45 days to return an item, as long as it’s in original condition.

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 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.

🧐 How we choose deals

Here at Guitar World, we are experts in our field, with many years of playing and product testing between us. We live and breathe everything guitar-related, and we draw on this knowledge and experience of using products in live, recording and rehearsal scenarios when selecting the products we recommend.

First and foremost, we are guitarists, and we want to match other players with the right products for them, at the best prices.

For us to recommend a deal it has to be a product we rate that’s a genuinely great price or part of a truly fantastic bundle. It’s also important that we only recommend retailers where you will have a positive shopping experience.

🤔 Why you can trust us

We spend a lot of our time scouring guitar retailers for fantastic deals on our favorite gear. Not only is it our job to research and recommend the best gear in our buyer’s guides, but we’re also dedicated to helping players get the best deals for the gear they need, too. After all, the only thing better than new gear day is a hearty discount.

We cover a lot of the big sales events throughout the year, including Memorial Day, Black Friday, 4th of July sales and Amazon Prime Day, and we have a good view on which products are likely to receive the biggest discounts and when, the prices they’ve been in the past and which deals are genuinely worth a look.
