Not sure what they already have?

Guitarists are hard to shop for: they know exactly which strings and picks they like. The safest guitar gift is one that works on any guitar: a skin, care products or a guitar gift card, which arrives by email and lets them choose for themselves.

Guitar gifts by budget

Under $50

String cleaner ($7), fretboard oil ($9), a new pickguard (from $11), a solid-color skin (from $14) or a graphic guitar skin ($35). Light, easy to ship, hard to get wrong.

$50 to $150

A guitar finishing kit for their next paint job ($62), the polishing kit that takes a new paint job to a mirror shine ($80), or a guitar skin printed with their own design ($103).

The big gift

A build-your-own guitar kit from $176: electric, bass or acoustic. A weekend project and a guitar that is theirs in every sense. See all our DIY guitar kits.

The easiest guitar gift to get right: a skin

No size to guess, no strings to match, no risk of doubling up. A graphic guitar skin is a 50×60 cm sheet sized for an electric guitar body, and changes the whole look of a guitar they already own. Choose from over 80 designs. And if you know a picture they love, a photo, their own drawing or their band's logo, we print it as a custom guitar skin: a gift nobody else can give them.

For the guitar they already play

A guitar that is cleaned and oiled plays better and lasts longer. Our guitar cleaning kit range covers string cleaners, fretboard oil and fret polishing, and makes a practical gift for any player.

Shopping for a bass player?

Skins, care products and gift cards all work for bass too. For the big gift, our bass guitar kits are among our most popular gifts for bass players.

FAQ

Questions about guitar gifts

What is a good gift for a guitar player?

Pick something they will use every week. Under $50: fretboard oil, a string cleaner, a new pickguard or a guitar skin that changes the whole look of their guitar. $50 to $150: a finishing kit or a guitar skin printed with their own design. For the biggest gift, a guitar kit they build themselves. If you are not sure, a guitar gift card lets them choose.

What do you buy a guitarist who has everything?

Something personal they cannot already own: a guitar skin with their own design, a custom headstock decal, or an artwork pickguard. They transform a guitar they already love without changing how it plays.

Do you have small guitar gifts and stocking stuffers?

Yes. Our small guitar gifts start at $7 with the string cleaner, then fretboard oil at $9, pickguards from $11 and graphic guitar skins at $35. See Guitar Gifts Under $50.

Is a guitar they build themselves a good gift?

For someone who likes making things, it is one of the best gifts there is: a weekend project that ends with a playable guitar they built themselves. Kits come with instructions, and our support team helps if they get stuck. See Gifts for Guitar Builders.

Do you sell guitar gift cards?

Yes. Our guitar gift cards come in four amounts and are sent by email, so there is nothing to ship and they work as a last-minute gift. They can be spent on anything in the shop, with no expiry date.

Do you ship to the US?

Yes, we ship to the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Delivery options and cost are shown at checkout before you pay. See delivery methods. Gift cards are sent by email, so they arrive instantly anywhere.
