Black Friday has officially happened already, but there are stacks of Black Friday music deals you can still grab. While there are many epic offers still available from the biggest names in music retail, one of the best sales continuing this weekend is direct from the official Fender site, where you can score up to 50% off a range of Fender and Squier guitars. 

Included in this sale are a collection of Fender electric guitars, acoustic guitars, Fender accessories and clothing. So, if you are on the hunt for brand new Fender gear – regardless of the price point – there has never been a better time to buy. 

Now, with 31 guitars on offer, we thought we'd hand-pick our top ten. These are the guitars that we highly rate - and more importantly, these are the instruments we'd spend our own cash on.
