A personalized present communicates that you care about the recipient. Your friend or loved one's favorite instrument makes for the perfect gift theme. Let it inspire you to pick just the right present. - Guitar picks and strings offer the cheapest gift options for the guitar player -- great for those on a budget or for children who don't have much money to spend. A full set of six Ernie Ball Nickel Regular electric guitar strings or GHS Vintage Bronze Acoustic guitar strings currently cost under $5.
Picks are even cheaper than guitar strings. The most common are priced at four for a $1, while fancier picks rarely cost more than $1 each. This small item is easily lost, and guitar players need to maintain a collection at home and in their case so they are never without one. Picks come in a variety of colors, thicknesses and materials. Don't know which to choose? Sneak a peek at the type of pick the special guitar player in your life uses or ask which are the most popular at the music store. - A protective carrying case is more expensive than picks and strings but equally vital. A damaged guitar loses value and may affect sound quality. For a guitar player who walks from place to place, a carrying case with padded adjustable shoulder straps, like a backpack, is just the right thing. A hard case enables guitarists to take their guitar on an airplane like luggage, making it ideal for travelers. You will need to know whether the guitar is electric or acoustic.
- Let the guitar lover in your life watch their favorite professional guitar player in person. Buy a block of tickets and invite friends along to party with you, or turn this guitar gift into a romantic date for two. Visit the website of any band to find out the dates of their next performance and purchase concert tickets quickly online.
