Guitar.com Deals Of The Week: the last Cyber Week guitar deals still available
Cyber Week – is it really a thing? Well, if reality is a construct, then who can really say one way or another? Either way, the construct that retailers have joined up and told us is “Cyber Week” is coming to an end, and with it will go the month-long Black Friday sales event that went with it.

All of which is to say, if you’ve got an itch to grab yourself a guitar-shaped bargain, you really are running out of time to grab something before you turn around on Monday and discover that everything is full price – for a few weeks at least.
Thankfully, there are still some Cyber Monday and Black Friday deal hangovers kicking around at guitar retailers across the planet, and they’re offering some pretty tasty savings for the tardiest types. Given that the post-Black Friday period is often a wasteland for decent savings, I’ve actually been pretty impressed with what I’ve found on offer here – you might be too…
Save $74 on the Fender Player II Stratocaster
[deals ids=”4i9vSSQB3BM88hEckN4FtL”]
Look, Black Friday’s over, the killer deals of earlier in the week have gone with them, but this is a pretty decent saving on what is already a very competitively priced instrument.
I was seriously impressed with the Player II Strat when I reviewed it last year, and nothing has changed with each new Player II I’ve encountered since – they sound great, look great, the rolled fingerboard edges are a revelation, and I think it looks killer in this Birch Green finish at Zzounds.
Save $200 on the Martin 000-Jr Sapele
[deals ids=”4qElzpVSLSpL6WLANWtUPF”]
I know I said Black Friday was over, but one of the most impressive deals of the whole gosh-darn weekend is still going strong. I was so impressed with this $200 saving on the Martin 000-Jr Sapele that I wrote about it at the time, and I stand by it.
When I reviewed the new 000-Jr Sapele last month I was blown away, and not only can you save 200 buckeroonies on the guitar on its own, but if you wanted to get everything you needed to start out – including capo, tuner, stand and strap – that’s available as a pack for the exact same price. Mad stuff.

Save £160 on the Sterling Jason Richardson
[deals ids=”7rDji9PciU6h079o8DVyIz”]
For shoppers in the UK and Europe, things are a lot less rosy on the deal front – Thomann’s Cyber Weekend deal window slammed shut on Tuesday and with it went most of the really killer savings.
If you poke around on Thomann’s site like I did however, there are some interesting savings still to be had, especially if you’re of the seven-string persuasion. This Jason Richardson signature model is a B-stock example, but that 18% saving is not to be sniffed at.
Save $1,000 on the Heritage Custom Shop Factory Special H-535
[deals ids=”5ytV0YOz1KcxhJB6sEzzS1″]
Our writers have been seriously impressed with the quality, sound and playability of the Heritage Custom Shop stuff we’ve reviewed in the last few years – especially their interpretations of the ES-style instrument.
This stunning faded Pelham Blue Factory Special option is an absolutely beautiful guitar with an insanely impressive discount – 20%! – that’s a hangover at Sweetwater from their Black Friday deals. There’s probably only one of these in stock, so you’d better act fast if you’re tempted.
Save $150 Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Les Paul Standard ’60s
[deals ids=”4s0hFkKMEDBnxhwH3qSQqd”]
Finally we have what might be the best saving of the lot still kicking around. Zzounds actually has most of its Black Friday deals rolling which is impressive, and there’s a killer saving to be had on what was already a very well priced guitar.
The Inspired By Gibson Epiphone stuff has transformed what we expect a budget Gibson Brands guitar to be, and this lovely Ebony version gives you everything you’d want for under $550 – that is a stone cold steal.
