With Labor Day 2024 in full swing, we've spied some fantastic deals already, some of which are up there with the sort of discounts we'd usually see around Black Friday.
With hearty discounts up to 60% on a huge range of gear from Fender to Epiphone, Gretsch to Jackson, now is the best opportunity of the year so far to save money on some new guitar goodies. Whether that's a shred-worthyelectric guitar, an angelicacoustic guitar, or a thunderous newbass, we've uncovered plenty to get excited about this Labor Day.
It seems the biggest names in music retail have gone all in on the Labor Day sales this year, with big hitters like Guitar Center, Sweetwater, Musician’s Friend and Fender all slashing prices on some of their most popular products.Most sales should hang about for at least a couple more days, but if you see something you like, we would recommend picking it up as soon as possible before the sale ends or potentially limited stock runs out.
