It might be Valentine’s Day today, but that doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself to some tasty guitar gear, does it?

Sweetwater’s President’s Day Sale is well under way and continuing until 19 February, and there are plenty of guitar bargains to be had, regardless of your political persuasion. Right now you can save on everything from acoustic and electric guitars, acoustic guitar strings and pedals.

We’ve cherry-picked some of the highlights below, but if we had to pick just one deal, it would be the $300 saving on Jackson’s killer Pro Series Soloist SL2Q MAH in stunning Purple Phaze finish, dropping the price from $999.99 to a more wallet-friendly $699.99. This guitar would make a worthy addition to any rock or metal guitarist’s collection.

And if you’re looking for a great acoustic guitar for beginners, the Epiphone Caballero Artist in Aged Natural has just slipped under the $200 with a hearty $70 discount.
