The Black Friday music deals seem to start earlier and earlier with each passing year; however, you won't hear me complaining about that! This is the best time of the year for musicians to invest in a new bit of gear, or even for those looking to dip their toes into guitar, drums, or even keys. This year, Sweetwater has given musicians a reason to get their wallets out, with humongous savings of up to 60% during its pre-Black Friday event.

With so many retailers competing to offer the lowest prices, Sweetwater has made its intentions known by slashing prices across drums, guitars, amplifiers, stompboxes and plenty more. Industry stalwarts like Mapex, Fender, Blackstar, Native Instruments, Pioneer and Korg, to name just a few, there's an eye-watering amount of choice for musicians of all stripes and backgrounds.
