The sun will set on Andertons' week of sales at the end of Cyber Monday, so if you're going to move on their guitar deals now is the time. And we're focussing on the truly special ones; the kind of reductions we're not seeing anywhere else today.
First up is the big discounts on PRS SE Hollowbody II models here - Andertons sold out of stock but the great news is they are honouring preorders on more stock they've managed to secure at the sale prices. To be totally honest, this is the best electric guitar discount we've seen in the sales in terms of value and quality ratio.
Guitar repair techs we've spoken to have also confirmed what we've found – PRS SE models are some of the very best guitars out of the box in terms of consistently excellent factory setups. Lessening the chance of any further spend required on a setup from a pro and making these guitars huge bargains from the biggest UK guitar retailer in the UK.
There's two finish choices on the Hollowbody II with Black Gold Burst and Faded Blue Burst with a £450 saving on each, while the Fire Red Burst Hollowbody Standard is £430 off. The piezo model that went into the sales with them is now completely sold out.
Elsewhere there's still four of the Fender Japan Limited Edition H/S Mustangs left in stock in three-colour Sunburst – these kind of feel to us like the spiritual combination of Kurt Cobain's favourite Jaguar with his Skystangs. With the added twist of a reverse headstock.
And back on the bargain hollowbody front, at the time of writing there's still two Sire Larry Carlton H7 models in stock with a massive £170 off. This is a lot of guitar for £499 and Mr Carlton doesn't give his name to to any old hollowbody, that's for sure!
We're also liking this sleek Andertons exclusive Squier FSR Classic Vibe '60s Tele Thinline a lot with £70 off. The top of the body is bound and the anodised scratchplate brings to mind the much more expensive Fender Ultra Tele we loved. This would be a very cool guitar to have out the box or even mod with some upgraded pickups.
In our experience though, Classic Vibe guitars are often excellent as they are. And it looks so cool! It's also available in Butterscotch Blonde here with £50 off at £299.
