Finding the Best Guitar Deals
Whether you're looking for an electric, acoustic, or classical guitar, price drops happen regularly across major retailers. New model releases push previous versions into clearance, and seasonal sales from Guitar Center, Sweetwater, and Thomann routinely knock hundreds off popular models from Fender, Gibson, PRS, Epiphone, Squier, Ibanez, and Taylor.
This page tracks guitar price drops across all major stores automatically. When a guitar drops in price at any retailer we monitor, it shows up here.
Where to Shop for Guitar Deals
Sweetwater
Sweetwater's guitar selection is massive, and their electric guitar deals and acoustic guitar deals pages are updated regularly. Sales engineers can sometimes offer additional discounts, especially on guitars that have been in inventory for a while.
Guitar Center
Guitar Center runs frequent guitar sales including the Guitar-A-Thon, which typically features steep discounts on Fender, Gibson, and Epiphone models. Their used guitar section is also worth monitoring — all used guitars come with a 45-day return policy.
Thomann
For European-made guitars and brands that are harder to find in the US, Thomann often has competitive pricing. They carry a wide selection of classical and nylon-string guitars that US retailers may not stock.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do guitars go on sale?
The biggest guitar sales happen during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Guitar Center's Guitar-A-Thon events (held several times per year). January clearance sales are also good, as retailers make room for new model year inventory. Sweetwater runs periodic DealZone events that include guitars. Memorial Day and Labor Day sales typically include modest guitar discounts.
What is the best guitar for beginners on a budget?
For electric guitar, the Squier Classic Vibe and Fender Player series offer excellent value. For acoustic, the Yamaha FG800 and Epiphone DR-100 are consistently recommended. These guitars regularly go on sale, especially during holiday promotions. Watching price drops can help you get a mid-tier guitar at a beginner price point — a $400 guitar at $280 is common during seasonal sales.
