The guitarist in your life may seem like a hard person to shop for — they already have more guitar picks than they need — but there are actually plenty of unique and useful gifts for guitar players that musicians may not have thought of.
Below, we've rounded up the best gifts for guitar players, whether they've been passionately playing for years or are just starting out. Whether you want to get them a practical gift to improve their strumming sessions, some guitar-inspired accessories they can rock, or fun home decor that shows off their favorite instrument, this list has it all.
This mini-amp provides high-quality sound in a portable package. It's a perfect option for the guitar lover who frequently travels or lives in a small space.
Earplugs may not seem particularly glamorous, but they're an essential that every musician should have. If they don't have a good pair already, treat them to these. They're the perfect ear-protecting accessory for all of their jam sessions.
This fascinating book delves into why music is so important to us. It's written by someone with a firm grasp on its artistic and scientific sides: A neuroscientist who previously worked as a session musician, sound engineer, and record producer.
Whether their favorite musicians are performing again or your gift recipient wants to wait a little longer before comfortably going to concerts again, a gift card for concert tickets won't go to waste — and gives them something to look forward to.
This hardcover book, which goes from A to Z and features 26 of history's most legendary guitar players, is a sweet gift for little guitarists in the making and a great coffee table book for adult guitar enthusiasts, too.
Get them a special handmade box designed like a fretboard to keep their picks in one place. If you're looking for something simpler, you can order simple boxes customized with their name.
If you are looking for a gift for a guitar player but are nervous about buying the right thing, a gift card is the perfect solution. Your recipient will appreciate being able to pick out their own style of guitar or accessory.
