5) Floor Stand for Guitar

If your guitar player does have floor space, this guitar stand from AmazonBasics will help keep their guitar within easy reach.

6) Clip-on Guitar Tuner

I usually use an app on my phone to tune my guitar, but a clip-on tuner like this would be good if your guitar performs on stage and needs to tune quickly.

7) Ditch the Cables with these Wireless Transmitters

A simple picture doesn’t do these justice. These little plug in transmitters allow you to ditch the amp cables and go wireless. So you can walk around, run, jump, or whatever else you want while still playing your electric guitar.

• could be a very useful stocking stuffer for the guitar player on your list

9) Guitar Capo

I’ve never owned a capo. But that also means I haven’t been able to play a lot of songs as they are meant to be played (and were recorded).

10) Ernie Ball Electric Guitar Strings (3-pack)

Get your guitar lover a 3-pack of electric guitar strings by the renowned “Ernie Ball” company.

11) Headphone Amplifier

This little gadget plugs into an electric guitar and then the player inserts some headphones into the gadget, and it’ll sound like a real amplifier – but only through the headphones (3.5mm jack).

• allows your guitar player to play quietly to others, but have big sound for themselves

Below is YouTube video where the guitar player Rob Galley gives a review of the Vox AC30 headphone amp.
