Gibson Les Paul Studio Modern: $1,999, now $1,799
The Gibson Les Paul Studio is as versatile as a Les Paul gets, featuring coil-splits and out-of-phase switches, and is available in a luxurious satin finish. If you're in the market for a bonafide rock machine, this has to be your next guitar – especially with Sweetwater slashing the price to just $1,799.

If you’re in the market for a new Fender or Squier guitar this summer, then this is the guitar I think you should go for. With a massive $240 discount, it’s superb value for money, largely thanks to the addition of a series circuit that unlocks humbucker-esque tone. With rounded fingerboard edges and a set of locking tuners, you’ve got yourself a proper gigging workhorse for less than a grand.

Lego Fender Stratocaster: $174, now $153
Looking for a fun guitar project that doesn’t involve soldering or dismantling your favorite axe? Why not take a stab at the Lego Fender Stratocaster guitar and amp kit? It's super fun and incredibly accessible, and with 12% off at Amazon, it's now a little cheap, too.

D'Addario XL Strings: Was $1.99, now $17.99
While purchasing fresh sets of strings might not be the most exciting thing, it's something all us guitarists need to do on a regular basis, so stocking up isn't a bad idea.

The PRS SE Custom 24 is one of our favorite guitars here at Guitar World. For me, it hits that sweet spot of affordability, playability, and great sound, making it a proper gigging workhorse that will sound just as good in the studio as it does on stage. It's got single coil sounds available alongside the humbuckers, and the build quality is amongst the best I've ever seen. With a $170 discount at Guitar Center, this is a must-have if you need a pro-grade guitar that doesn't cost the earth.

If you're looking to improve your guitar playing, this is an awesome deal. Geared towards beginners, these lessons from Musora usually cost $127, but they're down to just $10 for a limited time. Whether you're just getting started playing or you need a refresher, at this price, it's an unbelievable deal. There are also lessons for bass, drums, and piano if you or someone you know is looking to improve their skills.

The Ernie Ball Music Man St Vincent Goldie is a weird-looking instrument, but I found it surprisingly comfortable when I played one. Despite it looking more like a quirky indie guitar, you can absolutely shred on this thing, and I thought the neck profile was super comfortable. It's got a colossal $600 reduction over at Musician's Friend, so if you're in the market for some premium and a little less usual, go check it out.

The EHX Soul POG is criminally underrated in my opinion. I've had one on my 'board for years now, sitting near the front of my chain to give me a tone boost through the Soul Food and, of course, that delicious octave guitar tone courtesy of the POG. It's super flexible as you can swap the order of the pedals, or use the send and return jacks to insert effects in between the two. With a ginormous $194.90 discount, it's cheaper than just buying a Nano POG by itself, so you're essentially getting the Soul Food for free. Bargain!

D'Addario XPND Pedalboard: $109.99, $104.99
We are massive fans of D'Addario's game-changing telescopic pedalboard design. This unique 'board adjusts to accommodate your pedal needs, meaning it will always fit your setup and remain neat and tidy at your feet. Save 5% for a limited time at Amazon.

Joyo Overdrive: Was $59.99, now $47.99
Everyone needs a Tube Screamer-clone on their ‘board, and even at full price this Joyo Overdrive pedal is excellent value for money. Down to just $47.99 with a 20% reduction in the early Prime Day sale at Amazon, if you’re looking to fill a gap on your pedalboard or just get started building your first one, it’s a great option. Two sections give you a boost and an overdrive function, making it nice and versatile in use and essentially making it two pedals in one bright green enclosure.

Grover Strap Locks: Was $29.87, now $23.56
Perfect to pair with a new guitar strap, this set of Grover Strap Locks replaces your regular strap buttons to provide an incredibly secure locking mechanism. Many pro players swear by strap locks, and this set from renowned hardware manufacturer Grover is insane value for money at just $23.56. A 21% discount makes them an absolute no-brainer for securing your favorite guitar, and ensuring no nasty accidents or headstock breaks befall it.

D'Addario Circuit Breaker Cable: $42.99, $39.55
There’s nothing worse than the loud popping sound when you unplug your guitar cable, and although it's unlikely to damage your guitar amp, it’s good practice to mute your signal before you unplug. With the D’Addario Circuit Breaker Cable, you don’t need to worry about any extraneous noises, thanks to a simple latching button that mutes the cable before you unplug it.

If you've decided that our number one pick Guitar Tricks is for you then you can currently take advantage of this Guitar Player exclusive deal – get your first month of Guitar Tricks for just $1. There aren't many things you can buy for a single dollar these days, and certainly not access to 11,000+ premium guitar lessons!
