Crafted in collaboration with prog-metal dynamo Per Nilsson, we're starting off strong with a humongous $800 off the original price. Headless guitars have had a resurgence in recent years, and if you're looking for high-gain tones and ultra-playability, few do headless guitars much better than Strandberg.

If you've been thinking about adding a MIDI keyboard to your home studio, this is a great time to pull the trigger. Sweetwater has knocked $39 off the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32, bringing this compact controller below the $100 mark. Its 32-key micro-sized keyboard makes it ideal for smaller desks and portable setups, while an included software bundle gives you plenty to get creative with straight out of the box.

What's better than creamy EL84 valve saturation? Well, saving $450 on the price tag! That's exactly the deal you can get on the PRS DGT 15 Combo at Sweetwater. This is a relatively portable, handsome-looking tube combo in blonde tolex, with built-in valve tremolo, reverb, and boost. This is a brilliant opportunity to discover that PRS makes amps just as good as its guitars. Fantastic!

Wah fans can save $40 on this compact pedalboard-friendly offering from Morley, bringing it down to just $99 at Sweetwater. Unlike traditional wah pedals that rely on mechanical potentiometers, the 20/20 Power Wah uses optical circuitry for smooth and quiet operation without the dreaded scratchy-pot noise. It also packs in a handy 20dB boost for pushing solos forward. Plus, Sweetwater isn’t restocking this; once it's gone, it's gone.
