10 Gift Ideas for Your Guitar-Obsessed Friends

This entire shop is packed with beautiful, handmade guitar accessories. If the guitarist you’re buying for is a pedalhead, we suggest opting for one of KY Hot Brown’s stunning pedalboards, which they make to order in 7-10 days. For guitarists without the penchant for stompboxes, you can pick up a pack of hand-carved picks or a wall-mounted instrument holder.

Blues players know bottle-neck guitar slides are the real deal. Handmade in Mississippi from recycled bottles, these slides from the aptly named Blues Booze Guitar Slides will have everyone in the juke joint crying in their beer.

These amp-inspired key holders are certainly some of the most creative and functional music-inspired gifts that we’ve seen. Taking cues from all kinds of brands, from Vox to Orange, you’ll likely be able to find an amplifier that suits your guitarist's specific sensibilities. Each one comes with a special keychain for each set of keys.

Guitarists often need to change their strings and, less often, need to make small adjustments to their instrument. This kit by Ernie Ball provides everything a guitarist or bassist needs for routine string changes and cleaning, as well as simple repairs, at a very reasonable price.

If you're looking to really impress your friend or loved one, chances are you'll wow them with this pedal. A collaboration by some of the world's most beloved pedal makers—Chase Bliss, OBNE, and Drolo—the Mood contains whole worlds of new sounds for a guitarist to explore. (And, it'll have the added benefit of making you look hip to all the latest and greatest guitar gear.)

With a tagline like "by fans, for fans," how could you go wrong? The Edna Green Reverb shop is packed with a variety of really cool custom-printed, music-related graphic T-shirts in a variety of different styles.

One of the most empowering parts of being a musician is getting to record your own music, which, these days, is easier than ever. The Orange OMEC Teleport is one of the simplest, smallest, and best ways for a guitarist to record their ideas into a computer. Taking the form of a guitar pedal, the OMEC Teleport is in fact a powerful USB audio interface. Your favorite guitarist can use it to connect with their favorite recording software. Whether they're writing riffs in their room or playing on stage, this is a great tool for them to save their performances.

Cool, collectable, and packed with accessories like strings, a string winder, a clip-on tuner, and a nylon strap.

Aside from their obvious utility, guitar straps are another way to express your personal style and individuality. We recommend browsing through the Coolstraps Reverb shop if you’re looking to surprise your guitar player with something new. These straps are handmade, come in a variety of exciting patterns and styles, and are adjustable up to 70 inches for even the tallest of players.

One of the most versatile gifts on this list, the ToneWood Amp from HONZ Tech brings eight built-in effects—including delays, tremolos, wah, and overdrive—to your acoustic guitar. Each effect has three controllable parameters, and the device even lets you save your settings in 10 different memory locations.
