Here we'll compile the general deals and coupons from online retailers that don't apply to any one specific music gear category.
Amazon Black Friday Deals in Musical Instruments
As always, Amazon has plenty of tricks up its sleeve for Black Friday week, all the way through the holidays. The trouble is that it's difficult to know exactly what will be on sale and when.

On Black Friday 11/24, if you get 1 year of Guitar Tricks Full Access, they'll send you a free acoustic guitar! On top of that, a year has a promo price of $129. The guitar is a Huntington brand nylon string guitar. It's not a Martin or a Gibson, but it's a solid beginner-level instrument that's a lot of fun to play. They run this until mid-December, or until they run out of guitars. Starting 11/24 you can access this sale here.

VSTs & Plugins - sales, deals, and discounts
Plugin Boutique massive deals on plugins & VSTs
Plugin Boutique is one of the best stores to get your plugins from, because they have so much under one roof. The problem with plugin and VST deals is that dozens of manufacturers have sales this time of year, but it's hard to track them all down. On Plugin Boutique you can find them all in one place (iZotope, SONiVOX, Metric Halo, ToonTrack, Rob Papen, Arturia, etc.). If you're looking for a specific plugin sale, check here first.
