With Labor Day upon us, it can mean only one thing – huge discounts on your favorite guitar brands! With hearty discounts on Epiphone, Music Man, Martin, Schecter and many more, now might be the best time to treat yourself to that special piece of musical equipment you've been eyeing. Whether that's a shred-worthy electric guitar, an angelic acoustic guitar, or a thunderous new bass, Guitar Center has you covered. The music retail giant is offering up to 35% off a wide range of gear this Labor Day.
You'll want to be quick, though, as this huge sales event is only available for a few days, ending on 7 September. Now, it's fair to say there is a lot on offer here, so to make it easier, we've scoured through the endless pages of guitars to find what we believe to be the best deals, not only saving you money but time as well!
First up is the stunning Epiphone ES-335 Traditional Pro, which is not only a good-looking semi-hollow but a tonal powerhouse – and better yet, you can save a whopping $200 off the price! The added bonus of coil splits for its Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers transforms this conventional blues guitar into a sonic chameleon, which is able to adapt to any musical situation. Throw in a classic layered maple body, rounded C mahogany neck and choice of four finishes, and you get a winner of a Labor Day guitar deal.
Continuing the hollow body theme, next up we have the Gretsch Electromatic G5427TG, which again has $200 slashed off the price. This guitar simply exudes class with its sophisticated Midnight Sapphire finish and sparkling gold hardware – and, of course, it has a tone to die for!
The metalheads out there may prefer to take advantage of the cool $120 off the Schecter C-6 Elite, which is down to only $279. This Transparent Purple shred-ready slab of basswood is equipped with Schecter Diamond Plus pickups, a thin C-shaped neck and a 25.5" scale length, making it a killer beginner electric guitar and beyond.
Lastly, we need to give a shout-out to the stylish Sterling by Music Man Cutlass HSS, which, if you fancy the Rose Gold finish option, you'll save yourself $150. This guitar is built for versatility - with its HSS pickup configuration, five-way switch, and super comfortable neck, there isn't a style of music this quirky guitar can't do.
