It's time for your weekly dose of deals action, and with it being a payday weekend, plus the upcoming 4th of July sales, it's the perfect time to dive in on some fresh gear. With July 4th still a week away, I was surprised to see so many sales launching early this week but I'm not complaining.
Jeff Beck’s iconic Oxblood Les Paul made history as the most expensive LP to sell at auction - now it’s been revived as an Epiphone signature model

4 days ago | guitarworld.com | Matt Owen

Epiphone has honored Jeff Beck by releasing the Inspired by Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Oxblood – an affordable reimagining of the late electric guitar great’s original iconic Oxblood Les Paul. As far as Les Pauls go, Beck’s Oxblood is up there with some of the guitar world’s most notable examples, and comfortably rubs shoulders with the likes of Greeny, Jimmy Page’s Number 1, Peter Frampton’s Phenix, Billy Gibbons’ Pearly Gates and others.
“I never felt comfortable in standard. In some ways I felt more pressure because the world was so full of great players in standard - I had no interest in competing with them”: Thurston Moore on Sonic Youth’s Sister, and moving from junk guitars to Fender

4 days ago | guitarworld.com | Mark McStea

Sister, released in 1987, is widely acclaimed as Sonic Youth’s best album. At the time of its release, it was acknowledged as a step up for the New York City alt-rockers in terms of writing and sonic quality. Evol, released the previous year, had already served notice that the band was moving toward a more mainstream sound. Sister was the record that made good on that promise, delivering commerciality without compromise.

4 days ago | guitarworld.com | Shaun Prescott

After wildly successful European and North American tours, AC/DC has announced five Australian shows—their first since 2015. The 2025 Power Up tour will hit most Australian state capitals in November and December, with Stevie Young once again joining as rhythm guitarist, and former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney playing bass.
“Greg had this ‘60s P-Bass with a nut that had been cut so many times that the strings were rattling around, and a pickup that couldn't really handle how hard I played”: Alex ‘V-Man’ Venturella on tone, technique - and how he nailed his Slipknot audition

1 week ago | guitarworld.com | Nick Wells

They swore. They drank. They wrote songs about decaying flesh. Straight out of the blocks, Slipknot had all the measures in place to guarantee the outrage of Iowa's retirement homes. Fusing the bile of punk with the brutality of thrash, they recruited the cream of the town’s underground metal scene, slackening their guitar tunings down to drop B, and dabbling with a series of leather masks, ranging from a bloodstained clown to a chap with nails sticking out of his head.
“He could take a rock tune like Fleetwood Mac's Black Magic Woman and transform it by adding a hint of salsa clave rhythm”: Remembering Peter Green and Carlos Santana’s supernatural jam at the 1998 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Awards

1 week ago | guitarworld.com | Jonathan Horsley

Come 1998, it was Santana’s turn to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Clive Davis and John Popper did the honors, handing over the award. The band, led by Carlos Santana, had come a long way from their early rehearsals in San Francisco’s Mission district, from their incendiary and lysergic 1969 performance at Woodstock. The original Santana lineup is hard to beat.
“This wasn’t a guy who got better every six months or every week; this was a guy who got better every 60 seconds”: Randy Rhoads became a legend with Ozzy Osbourne, but his incredible playing was evident long before then

1 week ago | guitarworld.com | Janelle Borg |Andrew Daly

Growing up – and standing side by side on stage – with Randy Rhoads taught bass guitar player Kelly Garni a thing or two about the guitar player, who would later help define the sound of Ozzy Osbourne’s solo era and become a legend in his own right. “He was a guy I noticed in high school. I thought he was very interesting, and I wanted to get to know him, ” Garni tells Guitar World in a new interview. “We were in a new school, and we were sort of outcasts, so we gravitated together.
“I wanted it to be striking, bright, and a baritone so I can use it on tour for the song”: PRS celebrates Ed Sheeran’s collab with Dave Grohl and John Mayer on the F1 movie soundtrack with one-off, racing-themed guitar

1 week ago | guitarworld.com | Janelle Borg

Keen-eyed Ed Sheeran fans may have noticed the mega star sporting a brand new electric guitar in the music video he just premiered today for Drive, the song that forms part of the soundtrack of the highly-anticipated F1: The Movie. Turns out, PRS has teamed up with Sheeran for a one-off model that captures the spirit of the song and, well, F1's high-powered sports cars.
Guitar World deals of the week: save $230 on a Fender Tone Master amp, get more than half off a guitar pedal, plus all the week's best deals

1 week ago | guitarworld.com | matt mccracken |Daryl Robertson |Chris Barnes

Welcome back to another edition of deals of the week. As usual, I've been hard at work all week scouring the web for the best deals on guitar gear, and I've got to admit it's been a tough one. Pretty much everything out there is a continuation from last week's deals, with precious few new sales happening at the moment. I know why though. It's because Amazon announced that their Prime Day guitar deals event will be happening next month, and it's going to last a full 4 days this year.
