Welcome back to Deals of the Week! Things are a little slower this week due to all the new gear releases from NAMM 2025but if you’re after a great deal on gear, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
One of the best sales with seen this week is over at Positive Grid. They’ve got a NAMM Super Sale running with up to 40% savings on their smart amps and accessories. It includes money off the Spark 40, Spark Mini, and Spark Go, as well as a small saving on the recently released Positive Grid Spark Edge.
Sweetwater’s January Clearance continues with up to 55% off gear. There are loads of deals on open-box and brand-new gear and we expect it will finish next week. So if you’ve been eyeing up something, now’s the time to pull the trigger. It’s probably the biggest sale we’ve seen this year, and we spotted savings on acoustic guitars, pedals, guitar accessories, and plenty more.
Over at Musician’s Friend, there’s a Winter Warm-Up Sale happening, with reductions of up to 40% off a decent range of gear. A lot of it you might have seen before if you’re a regular here, but there has been new gear added since we last reported on it. There are some excellent pedal deals at the moment from TC Electronic, Warm Audio, and Fender, so well worth a browse if you’re after something new for your pedalboard.
That’s it for sales action this week. As always, we’ve picked out some of our favorite individual deals below for you. Make sure to check back next week for more of the best sales action from all corners of the web.

Guitar sales to shop
How we choose our deals of the week
Here at Guitar World, we are experts in our field, with many years of playing and product testing between us. We live and breathe everything guitar related, and we draw on this knowledge and experience of using products in live, recording and rehearsal scenarios when selecting the products we recommend.
First and foremost, we are guitarists, and we want to match other players with the right products for them, at the best prices.
For us to recommend a deal it has to be a product we rate that’s a genuinely great price or part of a truly fantastic bundle. It’s also important that we only recommend retailers where you will have a positive shopping experience.
Why you can trust our choices
We spend a lot of our time scouring guitar retailers for fantastic deals on our favorite gear. Not only is it our job to research and recommend the best gear in our buyer’s guidesbut we’re also dedicated to helping players get the best deals for the gear they need, too. After all, the only thing better than new gear day is a hearty discount.
We cover a lot of the big sales events throughout the year, including Memorial Day, Black Friday4th of July sales and Amazon Prime Dayand we have a good view on which products are likely to receive the biggest discounts and when, the prices they’ve been in the past and which deals are genuinely worth a look.
Where are the best places to shop?
Online shopping is definitely a lot easier and more secure than it used to be, and we like to recommend a small handful of online retailers who have a sterling reputation and offer fantastic benefits like fuss-free returns, great customer service and, in some cases, full checks and setup of guitars before they are dispatched. So, all the deals we’ll recommend on this page are from retailers that tick these boxes.
What sort of deals should I look for?
Great deals come in all shapes and sizes. There are a few key types to look out for:
- Single item – A single product with a great discount
- Site-wide discounts – A single discount percentage on a large range of products across a site
- Discount codes – Load your basket to a certain value and redeem a discount code for money off your basket contents
- Added value deals – These include multi-buy discounts, or additional products or software for free when you buy certain items
