From guitar-playing veterans to beginners, there are countless accessories any of them could use. Tuning a guitar by ear, especially for a beginner, can be a time-consuming and frustrating process. Luckily, electric tuners are affordable and easy to find. Available at most music stores, they are the perfect gift for any player. Any strummer can use a supply of picks and strings because at some point every player needs replacements. Another gift idea is a capo. A capo is a clamp that a player clasps on the fret board to raise the pitch of the guitar. Capos range from just a few dollars to high-end versions over $100. They are a valuable tool for any player.
For any player who plays professionally or takes his playing on the road, there are a number of gifts that will make his gigs easier. A guitar strap attaches to the base of the guitar and the neck, allowing a guitarist to play standing up. Guitar straps come in countless varieties and can be found wherever guitars are sold. Another great gift for the gigging musician is a gig bag. This is a guitar case that instead of being made out of the traditional hard casing is instead a soft cushioned bag, allowing for better protection. These also are readily available wherever guitars are sold and available in a wide range of prices. A guitar tool kit is another novel gift idea for any professional player. These kits come with anything a player could need--strings, string cutters, a string winder and a flashlight.
Aside from gifts a player can use, there are guitar-themed gifts available that suit every type of guitarist or guitar lover out there. For the ladies, guitar or music-themed jewelry is a nice idea. A guitar charm bracelet is a stylish and cute guitar themed gift. For the guys, a guitar belt buckle, cuff links or watches are all good choices. For the veteran or newly minted player, a subscription to a top guitar magazine is a gift that keeps on giving. Top magazines like "Guitar World" or "Acoustic Guitar" provide sheet music and endless guitar information on a monthly basis.
