Prime Day guitar deals 2025: Final day to save! This is your last chance to shop the best Prime Day deals on guitars, amps, pedals, accessories, and more

If you’re looking for a super cheap pedal deal this Prime Day, then this Electro-Harmonix Lizard Queen for less than half price is one of the best I've found. Combining a vintage fuzz tone with a high-octave sound, you can craft everything from Jack White-type lead guitar tones to nasty, ring-modulated sounds that will melt the face of anyone in the nearby vicinity.

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.

Squier’s Debut Series was created at an ultra-low price point in order to take on Amazon’s cheap guitar sellers at their own game. At $118.99, it is the most affordable Strat and Tele in the Fender line-up, and a contender for the best budget beginner electric guitars available right now.

If you want to outfit your pedalboard for less, then this is a great deal that beats anything I’ve seen at Amazon thus far. With a gigantic discount of $104.99 on the large cable kit, you’re getting 15 patch cables of great quality and varying lengths for just $3 each. It’s the perfect way to neaten up that pedalboard ahead of any summer and autumn shows, or just make life easier for you practicing at home.

Ernie Ball's Regular Slinkys are arguably the most popular guitar strings ever made. Known for their bright tone and excellent playability, these strings have been favored by a wide range of iconic guitarists, from the grunge sounds of Billy Corgan to the classic rock riffs of Keith Richards. This Prime Day you can join their ranks and bag a four-pack for the low low price of only $19.99 - that works out at around $4.99 per pack, or 83 cents per string!

This is a brilliant time to stock up on electric guitar strings, thanks to a whopping 50% off these Fender Original 150s during the Prime Day sale. Pure nickel was the flavor of choice during Fender’s golden age, so if you want an instant vintage tone without spending hundreds, the original 150s are a great starting point. Expect a warmer, smoother feel compared to roundwound, alloy-based strings. The sale includes both .009-.042 and .010-.046 sets, so it will cover both your Telecaster and Les Paul.

Without a doubt the best practice amp I've ever laid hands on, Positive Grid's Spark 2 might not be as much of a game-changer as the original was, but PG have made improvements in all the right places. The outward facing speakers deliver more power and some sensational guitar tones, while the addition of a looper, AI tone generation, and your own AI backing band makes this probably the most complete practice solution out there right now.

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 7% for a limited time at Amazon.

Are you looking for a contemporary Fender Stratocaster? Well, look no further than the Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Plus. This ultra-modern guitar is capable of producing searing lead tones as well as the crisp, clean tones you’d expect from a Strat. Right now, you can get a whopping $200 off!

The stunning Gretsch G2420T Streamliner is big, bold and full of vibe. From the amazing build quality and stylish aesthetic, to the warm tones on offer from both the on-board BroadTron pickups, this guitar oozes class. If this ticks all your boxes, now is the perfect time to pick one up.

If your budget doesn't quite stretch to a four-figure Gibson, an Epiphone Les Paul is, naturally, going to be your best option. There's plenty of options out there, but if you want something that will stand out from the crowd, you won't go wrong with this gorgeous Translucent Blue Quilt Top variant. It looks a picture, and comes loaded with '60s era specs for an authentic LP playing experience. $549 is a very good value indeed.

At a reduced $1,099, you get a premium Epiphone that, thanks to the open book headstock, is as close as you'll be able to get to a genuine Gibson SG for a small portion of the price. Not only that, it’s styled after one of the most desirable SGs of them all, with a Maestro Vibrola and half-sized 61-style pickguard to boot.

Featuring an inbuilt two-band active preamp system, hard maple neck and fingerboard, open-gear tuners, and a six-point bolt-on neck, the Sterling by Music Man StingRay is a gloriously appointed bass guitar for any beginner. Grab one today for only $279.99

Squier’s Debut Series was created at an ultra-low price point in order to take on Amazon’s cheap guitar sellers at their own game. At $118.99, it is the most affordable Strat and Tele in the Fender line-up, and a contender for the best budget beginner electric guitars available right now.

Looking for a stunning guitar that sounds just as good as it looks? Check out the ESP LTD KH-WZ, inspired by Kirk Hammett’s iconic White Zombie guitar! It features killer artwork from the classic horror film and comes equipped with signature EMG Bone Breaker pickups. The lightning-fast 24-fret neck, stunning graphics, and Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo make it a must-have for any metal fan. Plus, it comes with a custom graphic case that's just as cool!

This travel guitar seriously surprised us with it's tone. In our review Chris said, “the sound is so good that I’m starting to question whether the expensive exotic tone woods that so many guitarists lust over really make much of a difference.” High praise indeed for a budget-friendly travel axe. Save 20% at Amazon.

As well as being one of the biggest savings I've seen on an electric guitar this year, this Ernie Ball John Petrucci Majesty 8 is just straight up crazy. Capable of being tuned to a full octave below E standard, it's packing two DiMarzio humbuckers with magnetic and piezo options, coil tap, and a built-in 20dB boost circuit, making it surprisingly versatile when it comes to tone. Add 24 stainless steel fanned frets on an ebony fretboard and you've got one seriously good playing guitar.

I was browsing the Fender sale earlier this week when I came across this absolute stunner. The Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe is a single humbucker guitar with some tricks up its sleeve. The three-way rotary switch gives you the humbucker, a coil split option, and an option to remove the volume and tone control from the circuit, making it much more versatile than you'd expect from its stunning looks alone.

It may look like a Strat, but this Squier Limited Edition Paranormal Strat-O-Sonic only really shares its looks with that most iconic of guitars. Instead of the single coil trio it has two alnico soapbar pickups for plenty of gritty tone. The wraparound bridge is another unusual bit of hardware to see on a Squier guitar, and series/parallel and phase switching give you loads of tone options.

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.

I've waxed lyrical about the HX Stomp so much that I think people might actually be getting annoyed with me. It hasn't left my pedalboard since I put it on a few years ago, and even with the announce of the new Stadium line I can't see it leaving any time soon. It can play the role of multi-effects, amp simulator, and even audio interface, making it an uber-flexible bit of gear to have in your arsenal.

The Helix LT delivers the core power of Line 6’s flagship Helix in a streamlined, more affordable package, and right now it’s $100 off at Sweetwater. You still get access to over 200 effects, over 80 amps and 60 cabinets, with a user-friendly layout that is ideal for gigging and recording. Sure, you lose the scribble strips and a few ins and outs, but the tone engine is identical. Pound for pound, it’s one of the most capable modelers on the market. If you’re a session musician or simply want to try Helix, this is a great opportunity to do so and save some money.

Line 6 created the HX multi-effects unit for those who want a neat, clean and cost-effective effects processor. With $100 off in the Sweetwater sale, you can use the HX to replace your ‘board entirely or simply use it as a complementary option for an existing setup. Although not as stacked as its bigger siblings, there are still over 200 effects, a built-in looper and full MIDI capability for your troubles. I have always loved the compact yet rugged build of the HX and using the momentary switch options for modulation effects is great fun.

For those studio geeks and home recording enthusiasts, if you have not yet been acquainted with the Helix Native plugin, allow us to introduce you. With an incredibly generous $160 off at Sweetwater, this package delivers over 60 amps, 30 cabs, and 100 effects to use alongside your DAW of choice. I’ve used the Native plugin before, and the first thing I noticed was how well Line 6 translated the easy-to-dial-in functionality to a computer. It makes playing guitar through your laptop fun again!

I've seen some cracking deals on EHX pedals over the course of Prime Day, and this one is no different. With a massive $121.95 off, you're paying relatively little for a top-quality overdrive pedal. It acts as a 2-channel pedal which gives you the possibility of both classic and modern overdrive tones, and a cab-sim output makes it more flexible than your average overdrive pedal.

If you’re looking for a super cheap pedal deal this Prime Day, then this Electro-Harmonix Lizard Queen for less than half price is one of the best I've found. Combining a vintage fuzz tone with a high-octave sound, you can craft everything from Jack White-type lead guitar tones to nasty, ring-modulated sounds that will melt the face of anyone in the nearby vicinity.

A fully analog delay that's small enough to fit on any pedalboard for only $29.99? Yes please. Featuring warm repeats, a robust aluminum-alloy enclosure, and true bypass switching, this pedal is a steal at under $30!

The JOYO Vintage Overdrive is based on the iconic TS808 and uses the same RC4558 chip. Producing a rounded, smooth drive that is ideal for classic rock, this pedal sounds significantly better than its modest price tag would suggest. Save 20% at Amazon.

Fancy a whopping 16 different modulation effects for only $39.99? That works out at under $3 an effect! If you want to explore the world of modulation and find your own sound, then the Donner Mod Square II is the stomp for you.

Looper pedals are a great way to both enhance your practice regimen and your live shows. The Ditto+ takes everything great about the original Ditto and adds the ability to save your loops to the pedal. This means you can build a locker of sounds that you can bring into your playing, or just use it to save those moments of inspiration at the tap of a foot.

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!

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.

Who says pedals need to cost a fortune? Certainly not Amazon. This Kmise Vintage Overdrive is only $16.93! We're guessing by its color and control layout that this is some sort of Tube Screamer-style circuit, but to be honest, we aren't completely sure. That said, for under $20, it is definitely worth purchasing just to find out.

Positive Grid’s Spark 40 amp regularly tops ‘best of’ lists here at Guitar World thanks to its excellent range of tones and practice tools. It’s the perfect option for players short on space who need a desktop or practice amp, and is currently down to just $260 in the Amazon Prime Day sale.

Ernie Ball's Regular Slinkys are arguably the most popular guitar strings ever made.

Ernie Ball’s Slinky range is the best-selling string range in the world. With the Paradigm series, the company has supercharged the well-loved Slinkys, making them last longer, have better tuning stability and hold onto their tone for weeks. This is largely thanks to the Everlast nanotechnology utilized. Don’t get this confused with a coating. Everlast nanotechnology is a treatment, meaning you won’t get that annoying flaking after a few weeks like coated strings do. What’s better is that this handy little 2-pack has 16% off during this year’s Prime Say sale

Full price: pay $2.08 per string
Sale price: pay $1.75 per string

The moniker says it all: if you play heavy and live in drop tunings, then the Jim Dunlop Heavy Core strings are well worth a try. The .011-.050 set has a whopping 47% discount and is perfect for Drop C tuning. Dunlop has designed these strings with a much thicker core wire, meaning when you are in seriously low tunings, the tension won’t be floppy and slack; quite the contrary. The .012-.054 Drop B sets also have a generous 24% discount during the Prime Day sales, so metalcore guitarists don’t walk, but run to this sale.

Full price: pay $2.19 per string
Sale price: pay $1.16 per string

D’Addario is acoustic guitar string royalty. Although Ernie Ball is on top in the electric world, it’s D’Addario that I see people flock to when they ask me for strings during my music retail job. The 80/20 strings are slightly brighter and snappier than the phosphor bronze alternatives, so if you like things bright, you will love the EJ11s. You can pick up a single set for a 36% discount during Prime Day sales, or if you want to seriously stock up, the 3-pack has a lovely 33% discount.

Full price: pay $1.78 per string
Sale price: pay $1.15 per string

Ernie Ball has nailed it with the Earthwood series and my personal favorite is the Phosphor Bronze strings. With an overall warmth and deep lows, they complement just about any big-bodied acoustic very nicely. They are uncoated so they don’t last quite as long as their coated counterparts, but they always feel great when freshly on and with a 22% discount, taking them down to $7.99, there really isn’t much to complain about.

Full price: pay $1.71 per string
Sale price: pay $1.33 per string

Although these are Martin-produced, the Authentic Acoustic Superior Performance strings sing sweetly on any acoustic guitar brand. The Superior Performance part of the strings features higher tensile strength and tin-plated core wire, improving tuning stability and an incredibly balanced tone across all six strings. Being 80/20 bronze, this 3-pack sings sweetly, bright and is very articulate.

Full price: pay $1.21 per string
Sale price: pay $1.06 per string

Developed in collaboration with Marcus Miller, Dunlop’s Super Bright Stainless Steel Signature Strings have been delivering crisp, lively tones for years. Now with 24% off, the price is just as appealing. Designed with slightly lighter tension, they feel slinky and super comfortable to play across the neck. There is a 5-string set available too, currently 15% off the original price during the Prime Day sales.

Full price: pay $6.24 per string
Sale price: pay $4.75 per string

A staple for rock and funk players, GHS Bass Boomers deliver punchy mids, bright top-end, and plenty of low-end growl. Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers has his own GHS signature set, so that should tell you everything you need to know about their prestige. The M3045 set gives you that classic roundwound snap and consistent feel. They're only 6% off right now, but when the strings are this good, every little saving counts.

Full price: pay $7.02 per string
Sale price: pay $6.63 per string

Every guitarist needs a reliable and sturdy clip-on tuner, and the Fender FCT-2 is one of our favorites. With its large and easy-to-read screen, accurate tuning, and robust build, it's a steal at only $17.99. Save 18% at Amazon this Prime Day.

With the Dunlop PH112T1.14 Black Fang, you can ride the riff lightning with a Hetfield-approved pick that is guaranteed to help you with your down picking and riff writing. Save a generous 17% at Amazon.

Looking to finally take a swing at slide playing? Well, this Jim Dunlop Joe Perry Boneyard Slide is just what you need. The added weight of a porcelain slide gives you an intense sustain, perfect for long-held notes. At the same time, the quick attack makes it a great option for electric players looking to add a new sonic flavor to their playing.

If you want to outfit your pedalboard for less, then this is a great deal that beats anything I’ve seen at Amazon thus far. With a gigantic discount of $104.99 on the large cable kit, you’re getting 15 patch cables of great quality and varying lengths for just $3 each. It’s the perfect way to neaten up that pedalboard ahead of any summer and autumn shows, or just make life easier for you practicing at home.

Trying out different picks is a great way to freshen up your playing style. Your pick has a surprising effect on the sound of your guitar, and I always like to use different picks for different styles. With this 12-pack sampler from Fender, you get a nice variety of thicknesses to choose from, giving you a quick and low-cost way to change the way you play, and potentially open up a new array of riffs and licks.

If you’ve recently bought a fresh guitar or you’ve got a few in your collection, having a dedicated strap for each can make things just that little bit easier when switching between your guitars. This Levy’s Leather Strap has a nice width, which makes it super comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The ladder style of adjustment means it will fit a variety of different instruments, and the leather means it will last for years and years. I’ve got a couple of leather straps, and one of them is still going even after 15 years of use!

Arguably the most boring of all the boring items on this list, these cable wraps may be dull, but they will make your life much easier. As a regularly gigging musician, studio engineer, and gear reviewer, I’ve got a myriad of different cables in my home studio and earlier in the year I decided to finally get my house in order. I bought these exact cable wraps because of the different colors, which allowed me to color code depending on the use of the particular cable. Cable management isn’t the most exciting thing but it’s worth investing some time into it now because you’ll reap the benefits later on. I even use them on my pedalboard to tie my patch cables together underneath, as they hold well and are easier to unwrap if I need to make adjustments.

A good pair of wire cutters is one of those things that you’ll buy once and then not need to replace for years. All guitarists will be changing strings at one point or another, and these are a nice size for getting into the string at the headstock and cutting them as flush as possible once you’re done winding. They also double as a great pair of cutters for making repairs to guitar cables and other audio cables if you’re the handy sort that likes to make or repair their own cables.

Another purchase I made years ago that I haven’t had to make again was some good-quality Velcro. This stuff is ridiculously strong, so much so that sometimes I genuinely struggle to get my pedals off my pedalboard when I’m reordering them. While I might have to put some elbow grease in every now and then to get them off, it does give me a lot of satisfaction that the pedals on my ‘board aren’t going anywhere, no matter where I take them. There’s plenty of length here to stick to a large assortment of pedals, and it's easy enough to cut it to size.

Keeping your gear clean not only makes it look better but also helps it last longer. Every time you change your strings you should use the opportunity to clean your guitar, and these microfiber cloths work well on a variety of guitar finishes. The soft surface of the microfiber means the chances of scratching your guitar are minimal, even if it has a more delicate nitrocellulose finish. They work well with other cleaning products too if you like to use fingerboard conditioner or polish on the guitar body. With 12 in a pack, you’re not likely to run out of them anytime soon either!

With the easy availability of smartphones with top-quality cameras and the addition of a cheap phone tripod like this one from Sensyne, I never want to see a badly angled guitar video again. If you like to post your playing on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or anywhere else, this phone tripod is a great way to get a more professional look to your guitar videos. It’s adjustable to 62 inches in height, so you can play standing up if you prefer, and it also doubles as a selfie stick, so you can take it on holiday with you too!

There aren't many things you can buy for a single dollar these days, and certainly not access to 11,000+ premium guitar lessons!

The Linsoul x Punch Audio collaboration is ideal for those who need a bass upgrade with their IEMs. ‘Martillo’ – Spanish for ‘hammer’ – is all you need to know about the performance. The two 8mm DD drivers handle the bass in a powerful, yet musical way; however, by no means does it overpower the other important frequencies. The look and build quality are razor-sharp and for 20% off during the Prime Day sales, this will be a considerable and cost-effective upgrade to your current IEM rig.

For those looking to dip their toes into the IEM world, the KZ ZS10 Pro is a tried and tested option and with 20% off for Prime Day sales, there is not much at stake here. The Pros are an upgrade over the standard KZ ZS10s and with it, Linsoul has introduced four custom BA drivers, a stronger 2nd Gen 10mm double-magnetic dynamic driver and an improved 6N OFC cable. You cannot expect ultra-pristine sound at this price, but the clarity across frequencies is respectable and certainly enough to get you up and running. Plus, the sale runs across all KZ ZS10 Pro finish options to suit your tastes. And with an average user rating of 4.5 stars (from over 18,000 reviews), there’s already a serious chunk of satisfied customers.

The Linsoul 7HZ Timeless are lightweight, sophisticated, and demure and they don’t sound too shabby either. With $55 off in the Prime Day sales, now’s the perfect time to pick them up. Of course, not sounding too bad is underselling them. The 14.2mm planar driver delivers clear, balanced audio, and their lightweight build means you will barely notice you are wearing them. A selection of tip sizes is included for a better fit, and the aluminium packaging adds a nice premium touch.
