Here Are All the Best Presidents’ Day Music Deals

Get huge savings from our favorite retailers

Presidents’ Day… Something to do with Abraham Lincoln and George Washington’s birthdays? One thing we have in common with these founding fathers is we like to swing axes around. I don't mean rail-splitters or cherry-tree-choppers like the esteemed Presidents of yore—I mean the kind of axe you wear on a strap and plug into an amp.

While I fail to see how and why this holiday (like so many others) = deals, it is what it is. And since there are deals to be had on music equipment, from guitars and amps to accessories, plug-ins, pro audio, and much more, I thought I’d call to your attention the very best ones.

Let’s take a look at this year’s best Presidents’ Day music deals so you can swing a new axe around just like Honest Abe did.

Sweetwater Guitar Gallery Sale

Sweetwater’s our go-to for new music gear—they stock everything you could ever imagine, and their legendary customer service is truly second to none (thanks for everything, Dan!). This Presidents’ Day… season, they’re hosting their Guitar Gallery Sale, which features up to 50% off on select electric and acoustic guitars, amps, effects, and accessories.

The Presidents' Day Sales Event on Reverb

When you’ve got a hankering for vintage gear, Reverb doesn’t disappoint. The largest vintage gear commerce hub in the world is the place to go, whether you’re shopping for a real Klon pedal, a guitar from the 1800s, or just a lightly-used Gibson from last year. Their Presidents’ Day sale has up to 50% off select items—I could spend all day just browsing for deals on some of the coolest, most unique gear you could want to get your hands on.

Fender Presidents' Day Sale

Fender’s President’s Day sale is still underway, offering up to 10% off their American Professional II Series guitars and 20% off American Ultra Luxe and Player Series guitars and basses (plus steep discounts on acoustics, ukeleles, amps, accessories, and more). It’s rare to see such good deals on such fresh merchandise—head to Fender.com to see for yourself (dibs on the camp chair/guitar stand).

Universal Audio Bundle Month

Finally, from our friends at Universal Audio, there’s Bundle Month. Advertised as more of a Winter/Valentine’s Day sale (like, bundle up—get it?) than a President’s Day sale per se, Bundle Month is on through February 28 and offers HUGE discounts of up to 85% on plug-in bundles. UA plug-ins changed my life—you’ll never pay for a pro studio again—so head to Universal Audio and save even more when you shop their Bundle Month sale.

Here's to our right to killer music deals—just like it says in the Constitution.
