Ready for more great deals? Well, this week we’ve got some absolute stonkers for you courtesy of our writing team here at Guitar World. We’ve not seen anyone drop the curtain on an early Black Friday deal just yet but with November around the corner, we’d expect those announcements to hit soon.

Our top picks for this week both come from Reverb’s Dream Deals page, with two astonishingly good deals catching our eye immediately. First up you can get one of the world’s most popular distortion pedals, the ProCo Rat, for just $49. That’s a huge reduction of 45% and one of the best deals we’ve seen in recent years on this pedalboard staple.

How about a gigantic $1,000 saving on a new electric guitar? Yeah, us too! The Vox Bobcat is going for just $499.99 on the Korg USA Direct Reverb shop, down from $1,499.99. It’s an incredible deal, and when we reviewed the Bobcat we praised it for its bright tonality and brilliant playability.

Ending soon, Sweetwater’s Recording Month Sale is only on for a few more days, your perfect chance to bag a new audio interface or guitar amp headphones for less. There are also just two more days to get up to 40% off gear at Musician’s Friend, so now’s the time to act if you’re in the market for some fresh guitar gear..

If you missed it last week, PRS is doing a blanket 20% off their SE models, giving guitarists access to models like the popular SE Silver Sky and SE Custom 24 for less. Fender’s two big Player and Player Plus series sales are still alive and kicking too, with $50 off the former and a massive $100 off the latter whilst supplies last.

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 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.

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 discountSite-wide discounts – A single discount percentage on a large range of products across a siteDiscount codes – Load your basket to a certain value and redeem a discount code for money off your basket contentsAdded value deals – These include multi-buy discounts, or additional products or software for free when you buy certain items
