Now that November is in full swing, the usual flood of Black Friday guitar deals has officially begun. Honestly, the early batch of sales felt a bit underwhelming, until Sweetwater rolled out their early Black Friday event. With price drops reaching 60% on a massive range of guitar gear, things are finally getting interesting.
What caught my eye wasn’t just the sheer volume of stompboxes and axes, but that they actually threw in a solid mix of guitar amps and FRFR cabs. With heavy hitters like Boss, Line 6, Marshall, Fender, Vox, and Digitech, I reckon this is easily the strongest holiday sale we’ve seen this fall.
After digging through the massive list of deals, I can confidently say this is a prime opportunity to upgrade your rig for less. A lot of the equipment we’ve put to the test here at Guitar Player is seeing steep price cuts. With so much gear on sale, I figured I’d highlight seven standout pieces worth a look.
