Quick! Musician’s Friend has knocked half off the price of loads of guitar gear – including $700 off a Les Paul – but the Black Friday sale is ending soon
You have around 24 hours left to get yourself money off big-name brands like Fender, Gibson, Mesa/Boogie, Keeley, and loads more
Musician’s Friend might have been fashionably late to the Black Friday bonanza this year, only dropping their official Black Friday sale on Thursday, but they certainly made an entrance with a headline-grabbing up to 50% off guitar gear. That sale is still live now, but it's set to end today – Sunday November 26. With some seriously big hitters included in the sale, you can still get massive discounts on Fender, Gibson, Mesa/Boogie, and many more for a while longer.
Musician’s Friend: Up to 50% off a range of gear
With some impressive discounts of up to 50% off music gear, the Musician’s Friend sale includes big-name brands across a huge range of instruments. From $700 off a Gibson Les Paul to a lovely $559.80 discount on a Mesa/Boogie amp, there are some big hitters in the sale and some massive discounts. Act fast, it's over in 24 hours.
Musician's Friend coupon: Up to 15% off
Musician's Friend also has a coupon available for further savings. Spend between $49 and $98.99 and you can save 10% off your order with the code BLACKFRIDAY. Spend over $99 and that discount goes up to 15% using the same code. They really want you to save money!
We’ve had a look through the sale already and pulled out some eye-catching deals for you. Designed in conjunction with Omar Rodriguez Lopez, the Sterling by Music Man Mariposa has got a hefty $200 discount at Musician’s Friend. Its angular looks match the off-kilter sound of its designer, and it’s currently the cheapest we’ve seen for Black Friday.
There are some massive discounts on amps too, including $559.80 off the Mesa/Boogie Mark V 35-watt tube combo. An incredibly versatile amplifier, the five-band EQ adds extra flexibility over a typical guitar amp, allowing you to finely hone your tone. If a Mesa is a bit out of your price range, the Line 6 Catalyst 60 modeling amp, another seriously versatile bit of kit, has a tempting $60 price reduction.
One of our favorite reverb pedals, the Keeley Caverns plays two roles on your pedalboard, giving you dreamy reverbs alongside some luscious delay tones. It’s currently got a $29.85 discount which on paper doesn’t look like much, but you’re getting two brilliant sounds in one handy unit which is great value for money in our book.
