Presidents’ Day isn’t due to arrive until February 16th, but that hasn’t stopped Musician’s Friend from jumping the gun and dropping their sale a full six days early. It’s no slouch either, with impressive discounts of up to 60% off guitar gear.
It’s part of my job to find the best deals for guitarists, so I’ve had a look through the full sale to see what’s on offer and pulled out some of my favorite bits of gear for you below. There are big discounts on everything from electric guitars, effects pedals, and a smattering of guitar amps, so well worth a browse for any player after cheap gear.
Probably the best deal I’ve seen so far is a massive $225 reduction on this Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s. It’s only available on the Translucent Blue colorway, but this is a lot of guitar for well below the $500 mark. PAF-inspired ProBuckers with Alnico II magnets deliver plenty of classic rock tones, while CTS pots and 50s wiring keep it genuinely vintage-sounding.
A real Moog Ring Modulator can set you back thousands, but thankfully, there’s the Warm Audio RingerBringer for those of us without a huge chunk of change to spare. It was already pretty good value for money, but a $50 discount in the sale takes it down to just $169, a bargain for adding some weirdness to your guitar tones.
One of the biggest discounts on guitars I’ve seen so far is a gigantic $400 reduction on this EVH Wolfgang Standard. It’s a great opportunity to get a pro-level guitar for far less money, with an EVH Floyd Rose Special tremolo, compound radius fretboard, and dual proprietary humbuckers.
