Now that Fall is here, it can only mean one thing - no, not pumpkin spiced lattes - epic music deals, of course. The folks over at Musician's Friend are bringing the noise with the aptly named Rocktober sale, which sees a healthy discount of up to 40% off an array of musical equipment from the likes of Fender, Ernie Ball, Gretsch, and many more.

This epic sale includes everything from beautiful acoustic guitars, one of the best electronic drum sets around, and even some of the best PA speakers on the market. So, no matter what you use to create music, you'll find something here that suits you - and better yet, you can kit out the entire band while you are at it.

Now, the Black Friday music deals haven't quite started to roll in just yet, but if this epic sale is anything to go by, we could be in for quite the treat as we edge closer to the sales bonanza that is Cyber Weekend.

Below we have picked out a few of our favourite deals from this mega sales event.

We have to first shout out the stunning Ernie Ball Music Man Luke III HH in Cherry Burst. The axe of choice for the one and only, Steve Lukather, this guitar features a redesigned pair of Ernie Ball Music Man high-output humbuckers, a built-in 20dB boost on the push/pull volume knob, and a roasted maple neck. Right now, you can save a whopping $800!

Next up is the PRS SE NF 53. Loaded with a trio of Narrowfield DD S pickups, this very well may be the most versatile PRS guitar to date - and better yet, you can save $200 at Musician's Friend.

Now, we’ve always been big fans of Alesis' electronic drum sets here at MusicRadar. Not only do their kits represent excellent value for money, but they’ve always been a beginner-friendly brand, packing features that will no doubt have played a part in the formative years of future drumming stars. That's why we need to shout about $50.99 off the Alesis Nitro Max 8-Piece. Okay, it's not the biggest discount ever, but every little helps!

Moving on to pianos, we love the Casio Casio PX-S7000. This unique piano is our top choice for contemporary players in our best digital pianos buyer's guide. While most pianos opt to mimic their acoustic counterparts, this Casio dares to do something different, and we love it! Save an impressive 198.14 right now.

Obviously, there are many more items on offer, so we suggest taking the time to browse through the entire sale. Looking for more savings? Head over to our Prime Day music deals hub, where you'll find a selection of heavily discounted guitars, keys, software, and more.
