The Best Gifts for Guitar Players 2019

This year, I have been so excited to share my gift guide with you because between going to 2 NAMM shows since my last guide and trying a lot of fun new music-related products, I have some cool things to share! Sometimes, It can be difficult to think of good gifts for guitar players that aren’t super extreme gifts (like the $2000 vintage Stratocaster they have always wanted), so in this guide, I wanted to give you some good ideas that will help the guitarist in your life feel supported!

My favorite gift I have received as a guitarist was when my dad gave my sister and me our Fender Squier electric guitars (she got a bass and I got a Strat!). We were SO excited and immediately learned the theme song to School of Rock and then wrote a song about mullets (5th grades are so weird haha). Having my dad give us something we didn’t know we even wanted sparked a new interest in me that quickly turned into a life long passion! So I hope whatever gift you end up choosing helps your giftee get new inspiration musically!

Ok so here we gooooo!

I feel like this is me writing this guide.

Before we start, three things:

• I am a partner with Reverb (yay!) and Amazon and a few others, so a lot of the links I will be using are my personal affiliate links! If you want yo girl to get a little extra income from any of these gifts, please use them!

• To help save you money- make sure you have the Honey extension on your browser! It automatically scans the internet for promo codes and applies them to your order. I like it better than Retail Me Not too- since it’s automatic you don’t have to search through and try links yourself.

• I tried to use as many local brands and business I personal know/ love as I could so you could feel great about your purchases this year!

Books are always the most thoughtful present! There are so many cool biography books out now too you have a lot of great gift choices! I have heard this one on Brad Paisley is great!

Project 615 has so many awesome tees and such (especially for Nashville!) and I love this particular tee for your fav musician!

Lambertones- From $120

I can’t say enough about Lambertones. These pickups are extremely high quality and made by the kindest team. If you want to give the gift of a total guitar upgrade, these pickups will give any guitar a complete makeover.

This is amazing and I love little thoughtful gifts like this!

Hooke Verse 3D Audio- From $160

These headphones are really neat! They connect to an app on your phone and you can record 3d surround sound (for concerts, playing videos, etc!). This would be a cool present for someone who loves audio!

Mono Guitar Case- From $229.99

Mono makes amazingly comfortable cases that completely protect your guitar. This is a great gift for any gigging musician.

Ok I decided to try these in-ears because I had heard about them being really high quality for the price and let me tell you- they sound AWESOME! I have the 5 drivers and they sound really good. This would be a good present for someone starting to play at church, in bigger gig spaces, or even listening to music.

It’s always nice to be given guitar pampering gifts! This is a nice little cleaning kit that will help your guitarist keep their guitars in tip-top shape year-round.

Gold Guitar String Bracelets- $4.77

I thought this was super cool! I don’t have one, but I thought It was a super creative idea and great for a present.

Reverb.com Gift Card

Reverb is my favorite place to get used guitar gear. If you are wanting to give them something like a guitar or amp, giving them a gift card to Reverb might be a good idea because it’s personal but still allows them to choose something they probably are going to be very picky about!

Acoustic Speaker by ReAcoustic- $349

For the vintage design and music lover! This handmade gramophone style iPhone speaker is such a unique piece and would be such a creative and practical gift!

I hope these are helpful for you and you find something perfect for your friend/ family member/ S/O. My personal favorite type of gifts also always include quality time and a handwritten card, so you could always consider pairing one of these with a cool concert, trip etc. Just make sure you tell the people in our life that ya love em! Thanks so much as always for reading this blog and have an amazing holiday season! I’m so thankful for all of you!
