Gift tips
- If you don't know what guitar they play, accessories (tuner, strap, capo, picks) always get used.
- Check each shop's delivery times: deliveries take longer in December.
- Compare before you buy: the same guitar can cost a lot less elsewhere.
- For beginners, a bundle (guitar + amp + accessories) usually works out cheaper.
