Guitar Center Celebrates International Guitar Month with the Greatest Guitar Event on Earth
Who: Guitar Center, the world’s largest musical instrument retailer, is celebrating International Guitar Month, an annual occasion, with its twice-yearly sale Guitar-a-Thon, which will feature exclusive products, contests and services; special deals from Fender, Gibson, Taylor, VOX and Schecter; fun online content and more.
Guitar-a-Thon also serves as the perfect opportunity for beginners to get their hands on their first instrument and for passionate musicians to update their gear.
What: As part of the retailer’s spring Guitar-A-Thon sales event (which coincides with International Guitar Month), Guitar Center is offering several exclusive limited-edition instruments and amps, in partnership with leading manufacturers.

An exclusive Blues Jr. IV combo amplifier is also available in British Racing Green. Two limited-edition Gibson Les Paul Classics are also available, in Chicago Blue and Seafoam Green.
