First up, we've found a whopping $150 off the Martin Special D, which is now down to only $899. This is a very special deal on an equally special guitar from Martin, the company that brought you the quintessential all-American flat-top. Martin invented the Dreadnought, and this all-solid Special D model features an x-braced Sitka spruce top and sapele (also known as sapele mahogany) back and sides.

Next up, and keeping things American, we have the stunning Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s P-90, which has a generous $200 slashed off the price. This retro throwback delivers stellar vintage tones with a seriously chunky neck and outstanding finishing.

Not a Les Paul fan? Well, you'll want to check out the gorgeous limited edition HSS Fender Player Strat in Sienna Sunburst. Now with a sizable $130 discount, this humbucker-equipped Strat is fiercely versatile and a total steal at this price.

First and foremost, I'm a guitar enthusiast – a fanatic, some might say. I'm a firm believer that most of the world's problems can be solved with a Gibson SG and a catastrophically loud amp. Before writing about guitars for a living as a Senior Deals Writer on Guitar Player, I worked in music retail for 7 years, giving advice on guitars, basses, drums, pianos, and PA systems. I also have a passion for live sound; I'm a fully qualified sound engineer with experience working in various venues in Scotland.
