Ho ho ho!  Merry Christmas!  This is the time of year when people buy you t-shirts that say “You can never have enough guitars.”  Maybe, being a guitarist yourself, you still need to do some last minute shopping.  I gotcha covered

$20-$25

  • You can’t go wrong with an Amazon gift card.  You just can’t.  It’s the best.
  • Guitar Center/Sam Ash also do gift cards.
  • A 3 pack of strings is always a good idea.
  • A nice 10 foot guitar cable.  They come in handy.
  • How about a fret end file from StewMac?
  • A mic cable, if your friend also sings.
  • A Fender/Marshall/Gibson/PRS t-shirt, depending on what your friend plays.

$50-$75

  • The same as above – gift card from Amazon, Guitar Center, Sam Ash
  • A set of bluetooth in ear headphones.  Why not?
  • A ten pack of guitar strings.  I’d love one.
  • If they do solo gigs, a DMX light to attach to their speaker pole.
  • If they have a MIM Strat or Squier Strat, a set of locking Fender tuners.
  • A nice gig bag with some strings and a t-shirt (see above) in it.
  • How about some new tubes?

$100

  • Who are you kidding?  You’re not going to blow $100 on a last minute Christmas present for a buddy.
  • If you do, consider maybe a new killer humbucker pickup your buddy has lusted over.

Hopefully this helps.
