GIFT IDEAS

 

Of course, any of our guitars will make a great gift for a player regardless of age or level of skill or competence but we are more than happy to advise if you are buying for someone else.

But maybe you are looking for something smaller or something complimentary or less expensive - no problem we can help you there too. 

Something special, something fun, something useful for a guitarist?

Here are just a few ideas that will be sure to please.

If you are still not sure just give us a ring and we will help you decide on the most suitable items and we will always exchange any gift providing it is in the same condition as sold - simply ask for a gift receipt if that would be useful.

POD EXPRESS by LINE 6
POD EXPRESS by LINE 6

This really is a great companion for the travelling guitarist. The Pocket POD® Express, at its simplest, is a great headphone amp. But even more, the POD Express also gives you Chorus, Tremolo, Flange, Delay, Spring Reverb and Hall Reverb.

Mix and adjust those effects with 5 different AMP models and you begin to see how much fun and inspiration this little thing can be.

At the same time the POD Express is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand (well a biggish hand anyway) and you won’t have any problem finding a little space to put it in your gig-bag, luggage or even your “pocket”.

Drive your headphones, add effects to your main amp or mix in your CD/MP3 player for practice.

Versatile or what?

Classic SMOKEY guitar amps
Classic SMOKEY guitar amps

The Classic model Smokey guitar Amp is made in the USA and is housed in a ‘smoke-free’ hard wearing translucent polycarbonate box. The durable 2 inch Mylar cone Alnico magnet loudspeaker has been specially designed by Bruce Zinky and is surprisingly loud for a 1 watt amplifier! 

Each Smokey Amp is fitted with two UK made CLIFF® jack sockets with self-cleaning corrosion resistant contacts for long term reliability. There are no controls and volume and tone adjustments are made on the guitar.

By using its output jack, the Classic Smokey Amp can also be used to power ANY 4, 8 or 16 ohm speaker cabinet, including a 4 x 12! It can also be used on the input of another amp as a stand alone fuzz effect and it is ideal for home studio recording with a microphone for a real live sound at low volume levels.

The nine volt battery (included) will last for about 10 hours of continuous playing. When you need to change the battery in your Classic Smokey Amp, carefully remove the 3 screws and the 2 jack socket nuts. 

Open the case, change the battery and replace the screws and jack socket nuts. Simple!

The Classic model Smokey Amps come in a variety of different colours and finishes including Black, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, Clear (although we currently only have black in stock).

Buy it with the special Smokey Leather Strap Holder and get a special deal (see more info).

The PUB PROP
The PUB PROP

Well very strictly speaking we shouldn't really call this a guitar stand - but it most certainly helps you to stand your guitar very safely where otherwise it could slip or slide to the floor ... (by the way it also works perfectly as a hanger for a violin, mandolin, ukulele or even a banjo).

No, the Pub Prop was created to take with you when you go for a jam in a pub, club or stand-up situation. Simply clamp the Pub Prop to a table, chair, shelf (clamps horizontally and vertically) and your guitar can be safely locked in place, no fear of it falling or sliding anywhere. 

Simple, easy and just plain good British sense too (designed and made in the UK).

CAPO Key Ring
CAPO Key Ring

Ever found yourself in a situation where you are somewhere different, perhaps at a friend’s place or maybe in a pub or a club for an impromptu jam session but without a capo?

Well here is a great idea ... keep one on your key ring and wherever you and your keys are, so is a capo.

Simple.

And this is also a great capo, suitable for acoustic or electric and it clips onto your key ring and it fits and adjusts with ease on your guitar.

Get yours here or buy several for your friends and family too as it is a gift that any guitarist will really appreciate too.
