The Black Friday music deals are kicking off with a bang this year, as Guitar Center is offering up to 50% off a massive range of musical equipment from electric guitars to microphones, acoustic guitars to digital pianos, and so much more. So, no matter what you are looking for, you'll be sure to find a bargain this holiday season.

There are few things that make us stop what we're doing and switch up our plans for the coming week, but an Amazon sale announcement is easily one of them. Last night, the mega-retailer announced that it's dropping hundreds of early Black Friday deals ahead of on 29.

Amazon competitors Walmart, Target and Best Buy have already unveiled their holiday plans and started early sales. The big picture: There are five fewer days between Black Friday and Christmas Day than last year.
