Guitar Center's Guitar-A-Thon sale is an annual event that delivers some frankly epic deals on guitar gear - and well ahead of the Black Friday guitar deals dropping in late November. Us guitarists rarely need another excuse to buy a new piece of gear, but when there are savings this big floating around on everything from electric guitars and amps to accessories, pedals and more, well, it's a no-brainer. How big are these savings? Well, from now until 11 October, you can score up to 35% off big-name brands, such as Gibson, Fender, Yamaha, Boss, Line 6, and so much more. 

When we say great gear, we mean some of the very best, from the biggest names in the game. Some of our favorite deals include a mind-blowing $700 off the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V, $119 off the stunning Epiphone Hummingbird Performer and $250 off this well-specced Fender Player Stratocaster

Senior Deals Writer

As a Senior Deals Writer at Guitar World, I help create and maintain the site's 200+ buyer's guides, scour the internet for the best possible deals on a range of guitar products, and spend a lot of time getting hands-on with the latest guitars, amps, pedals, and more. My gear reviews have also been featured in many prominent publications, including Total Guitar and Future Music magazines and MusicRadar.com.

During my career, I have been lucky enough to talk to many of my musical heroes, having interviewed members of Sum 41, Foo Fighters, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators, Creeper, Thrice and more.

In a past life, I worked in music retail. For a little under a decade, I advised everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned pros on the right gear for their needs. 

I also have a passion for live sound. I'm a fully qualified sound engineer who holds a first-class Bachelor's degree in Creative Sound Production from the University of Abertay and I have plenty of experience working in various venues around Scotland.
