The Amazon Big Spring Sale has arrived, and with it, we’ve seen the usual slew of savings on essential accessories for guitar players. Whether you’re spring cleaning your collection or preparing for a fresh wave of gigs, it’s an excellent opportunity to pick up strings, picks, and other essentials for a lot less.

Of course, there’s the usual array of tech on offer in the sale, so if you’re in the market for a laptop, tablet, or smart device, then this is the sale to shop at, but look elsewhere if you want a deal on an electric guitar, pedal, or guitar amp. It’s not known how long the sale will last, and some deals are stock-limited, so once they’re gone, they’re gone. So, if you see something you like, make sure to act fast before someone else snaps up the best deals.

IK Multimedia iRig 2: was $39.99 now $29.99 at Amazon

This guitar audio interface is absurdly cheap at just $29.99, allowing you to practice and record your guitar with your mobile device and a pair of headphones.
