The Cyber Monday guitar deals have finally finished and boy was it a big weekend of savings on guitar gear. Many deals have sold out, but there are still loads of sales that will be continuing into this week, so if you missed out on the action you've still got a small amount of time to take advantage of reduced prices on your favorite gear.
Continuing until December 8, the Cyber Deal Days sale at Musician's Friend still has big discounts of up to 60% off. It features loads of savings on guitars and guitar pedals, as well as plenty of studio gear if you fancy doing some recording.
It's the same max discount that's offered by Sweetwater, who are holding fast in offering up to 70% off in their Cyber Week sale. Again this sale is only continuing until the end of the week, and many items sold out from the Sweetwater sale so you'll want to act fast.
Guitar Center's Cyber Monday Doorbusters sale gets you up to 50% off a range of guitar gear with their lowest prices of the year. It's only on until December 4th which is the same date this article was published. We do expect that they will announce some kind of sale that continues further into December though.
Fender has launched a massive Cyber Week sale as well, with savings of up to 50% off a huge selection of their guitars, pedals, and accessories. It covers everything from beginner-friendly Squiers right through to their premium American-made instruments, so well worth a browse if you're a fan of the big 'F'.
Positive Grid's Cyber Monday sale is still alive and kicking but will also finish at the end of December 8th, so it's your last chance to get up to 50% off smart amps and software. It includes a small discount on the brand new Spark 2 desktop amp, as well as bigger savings on their classic models like the original Spark 40, Spark Mini, and Spark Go.
If you fancy saving big money on a used or B-stock bit of gear, then Reverb is the place to be with a frankly ridiculous 225,000+ bits of discounted gear available in the Cyber Week sale. There are no clues as to when this sale will finish, so if you've seen something you like there you should snap it up.
As you can see there are still plenty of savings to be made, but you'll want to get a move on as they'll be ending soon. Below you'll find links to all the sales that are still live from across the web, as well as plenty of handpicked deals from the Guitar World team that are still live.

❓ Cyber Monday guitar deals: FAQ
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday 2023 will land on Monday, 2 December. The deals won't be restricted to those just Cyber Weekend, though. Previous experience tells us that some of the best Cyber Monday guitar deals will emerge well in advance of the event – so keep checking this page to see what epic deals we uncover.
Should I buy guitar gear online during Cyber Monday?
If you're concerned about buying a guitar or other gear on Cyber Monday without playing it first, you needn’t be. Online music instrument retailers like Guitar Center, Musician’s Friend and Sweetwater offer hassle-free returns as standard, so you can purchase a guitar, play it in the comfort and privacy of your home and, if it’s not right, send it back without issue.
You should check the specific returns policy for your chosen retailer before you purchase, but most offer between 30-45 days to return an item, as long as it’s in original condition.
What else can I buy during Cyber Monday?
It's not just about the Cyber Monday guitar deals in November/December. Aside from music-making gear discounts, you'll find bargains on great tech like robot vacuum cleaners, iPads, MacBook Pros, and Amazon Echos – and you can even pick up groceries, pet food, and dishwasher tablets – but it’s the guitar deals we’ll be looking out for.
🛒 Cyber Monday guitar deals: Shopping tips
Got your eye on a few things and wondering whether Cyber Monday is the time to buy? Here's a few tips from our personal experience that will ensure you're ready to strike if the gear you want is up for grabs:
1. Create a wishlist early - The most sensible way to take advantage of this year's Cyber Monday deals is to know in advance what you’re looking for. This will make searching much easier, rather than having to trawl through loads of deals you don’t want to find the ones you do, or pondering things you don't need. To help you create your dream shopping list, take the time to explore our expert and up-to-date buying guides and reviews.
2. Work out what you actually need - Check out your favourite brands, see what you need and will genuinely use - don’t waste your cash and fill your basket with stuff that will never truly see any action.
3. Consider your music goals - What do you want to achieve with your music over the next 12 months or so? Do you want to gig more? Learn a new instrument? Or finally, record your songs? Now could be the time to invest in gear that helps you fulfil your musical aspirations.
4. Streamline your current gear - Something else you should consider ahead of time is whether you have enough space in your collection for new gear. Could you offload some gear you don't use to make room and generate funds for some new gear?
5. Sign up to mailing lists - In addition to bookmarking this page, we'd recommend signing up to mailing lists of your favourite retailers now to get the jump on the best deals when they do come around.
🧐 How we choose deals
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 us
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 guides, but 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 Friday, 4th of July sales and Amazon Prime Day, and 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.
