If you weren't aware, today is Presidents' Day. Initially established in 1885 to celebrate America's first president George Washington, it's now considered a day to mark all past and present presidents, falling on the third Monday in February every year. As is often the way with these major public holidays, the Presidents' Day sales have become an opportunity to bag a bargain. Thankfully, us musicians haven't been left out of the fun.

Right now, you can save up to 40% off loads of great guitar, drum and music tech gear and big name brands at Musician's Friend, including a range of Roland and Alesis electronic drum sets. You can also get 15% off your basket when you spend over $99 on qualifying gear and plug in the code PRESDAY when you checkout.

At Guitar Center there's 35% off a wide selection or guitars, keyboards, drum kits and recording gear. This includes digital and stage pianos from Casio and Nord, guitars from Fender, Epiphone and Yamaha and home studio essentials from the likes of KRK and Focusrite. Both of these sales end on Wednesday February 22, so you don't have long to take advantage.

Elsewhere, you'll find up to 25% off Spark amps and 40% off BIAS software at Positive Grid and if you're planning on doing any recording in the near future, all mastering plugins are down to $29.99 for a limited time at Waves.
