When it comes to six-string-related sales, Guitar Center's Guitar-A-Thon is up there with the best – outside of the Black Friday guitar deals , of course. This epic sales event is an annual occurrence for the music retail giant, and frankly, we get excited every year to see what will be on offer. We're happy to report that this year's offering doesn't disappoint.
From now through October 9, hundreds have been slashed off big-name brands such as Fender, Martin, Schecter, Guild, D'Angelico, and more. We’ve trawled the Guitar Center site and hand-selected a few of our favorite deals, making it a little easier for you to find a bargain on everything from electric guitars and pedals to accessories and more. Whether you're leveling up your rig ready for your next gig, there's a recording session on the horizon, or you've simply earned a treat, there's so much discounted gear up for grabs that you're sure to find something that fits the bill.
Among our favorites is the stunning Martin GPC Special Koa , which is a steal at $140 off. Now, this guitar doesn't just look the part, thanks to its unique Koa construction; it sounds pretty damn good as well. Equipped with Fishman's MX pickup, this is the ultimate gigging acoustic that is sure to turn a few heads at your next show.
Looking for a hollowbody that sounds as good as it looks? Well, the Gretsch G5427TG Electromatic may just be the best guitar for you. Featuring a laminated maple body with trestle block bracing, FT-5E Filter’.
