Musician's Friend Cyber Monday deals: FAQ

When is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday 2023 starts on Monday 7 November. However, the Musician’s Friend Cyber Weekend deals, as with sales from other retailers, are likely to start going live well before then. So while we still expect the juiciest deals to land around the 27th, there will be early offers to shop in the run-up to that bumper sales weekend, possibly even from as early as October. We also expect that select sales will continue well into December.

What deals can I expect on Cyber Monday?

Musician’s Friend had a strong Cyber Monday sale last year, with plenty of guitar deals across a range of top brands including Fender, Yamaha, Gretsch, and others. Plus, it ran offers across a variety of other music-making areas too, so your entire band could have found gear for less among the previous crop of Musician’s Friend Cyber Monday deals.

There were also meaty discounts in the Musician's Friend Cyber Monday sale last year, in addition to killer deals on individual products like Roland V-Drums and Supro amps. We’re fairly confident that we’ll see more of the same from this year’s Musician’s Friend Cyber Monday sale, with hefty overall discounts as well as spotlight deals on solo products.

Can I get free stuff on Cyber Monday?

You're probably not likely to get completely free gear on Cyber Monday, but there are often bundle deals going on that can be great value for money. Last year at Musician's Friend there were some excellent bundle deals on electronic drum sets, giving you extras like drumsticks, headphones, bass drum pedals, and drum thrones at a discounted rate.

If you keep an eye out you can often find great bundles, or sometimes 'gifts' added to products to entice you to buy. This could be something like a carry case for a multi-effects pedal, or some XLR cables with a vocal mic.

Is Musician's Friend legit?

Musician's Friend have been operating for over forty years, providing top quality music gear to musicians. They are part of the same group as Guitar Center and Woodwind & Brasswind, so you can rest assured they are the real deal.

Musician's Friend offer free shipping in the US, price matching, 45 day-returns (which is sometimes extended for the Christmas period) and a 2-year standard warranty on guitars and basses, so you're well covered if you decide the item you purchased isn't for you.

How to prepare for this year's Musician's Friend Cyber Monday deals

1. Create a wishlist early - There's going to be so much noise around Cyber Monday deals that you'll have a much better time if you go into knowing exactly what you want. Making a list is a great way to stay focused during the deals bonanza.

2. Work out what you actually need - Have a look at your existing gear collection and find out where the gaps are. By making sure you buy something you need, you'll prevent buyer's regret, potentially save yourself money, and improve yourself as a musician. 

3. Consider your music-making goals - Are you planning on finally recording that solo album this year? Perhaps you need a sample pad to further enhance your band's live show. Whatever it is, make sure you're buying something you're actually going to use, rather than hitting add to cart just because that fuzz pedal has a massive discount.

4. Make some room - Having a pre-sale clearout is not only a great way to save space in your practice room or your home studio but can also free up funds for more gear. Those you share your home with will probably thank you too!

How we choose the best Musician's Friend Cyber Monday deals

Our team of writers here at MusicRadar are all musicians too, so music gear is something we all spend a lot of time with. We all own arguably too much gear, whether it's synthesizers or guitar pedals because music is an integral part of our own lives.

It's literally our job to review and recommend music gear, and like you, we love making music. We would never recommend something we wouldn't use ourselves so to make the cut here, it has to be a genuinely good deal.

Musician's Friend has a great selection of gear and their Cyber Monday sale always offers up some excellent deals, so we're always happy to recommend them as a retailer.

Why you can trust our choices

We don't just spend Cyber Monday bargain hunting, it's a year-round job for us! We spend a lot of time searching the Musician's Friend website for the best deals, all to pass them along to you, dear reader. It's our job to research and recommend the best music gear for our buyer’s guides and reviews but as gear hounds ourselves, we're also always on the lookout for a great deal.

This year we've covered a bunch of huge sales at Musician's Friend, including up to 40% off music gear for the President's Day sale, and the huge Memorial Day sale which also saw up to 40% off loads of great gear.
