Fender has just announced their Memorial Day sale and it’s got quite a lot to offer (here). It’s also probably not the best timing considering the brand’s recent legal actions, but hey – cheap, good gear is still cheap and good gear.
The headline deals are the American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster and American Acoustasonic Telecaster, both discounted by a massive $600. Those models rarely see cuts this deep, making this one of the more notable opportunities for players curious about Fender’s acoustic-electric hybrid platform.
Fender also pushed hard on its California Series acoustics, including several Antigua limited editions with nearly $300 off, alongside more affordable entry-level options like the FA-125CE and FA-345CE.
Beyond guitars, the sale is unusually comprehensive in how it targets the modern home studio and content-creator market. Multiple Presonus Quantum interfaces and recording bundles are discounted, from compact USB-C interfaces up through the Quantum HD 8.
Fender also folded software into the promotion, with Fender Studio Pro dropping to $139.99 from $199.99, making it one of the more aggressive percentage discounts in the entire event. Combined with the microphone stands, gig bags, and accessories included in the sale, there’s a clear focus on helping musicians build complete recording and rehearsal setups rather than simply moving instruments.
Pedal and electronics discounts are another major highlight. Fender’s in-house effects lineup sees broad reductions, including the Pelt Fuzz, Santa Ana Overdrive, Pugilist Distortion, and several Hammertone pedals. Pickup upgrades are especially prominent this year, with substantial markdowns on CuNiFe and Cobalt Chrome sets for Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, and bass players.
The Michael Landau signature electronics offerings also stand out, particularly the pre-wired Strat pickguard and Wide Range humbuckers. Check out the full sale right here.
