After reading Electronics for Guitarists by Denton J. Dailey, I would describe it as a fantastic resource for any guitar enthusiast who would like to learn about the various electronic circuits associated with their electric guitar and how they work. This book would make the perfect gift for any hobbyist, tinkerer, DIYer, engineer, or student who has an enthusiasm for the electric guitar. While I opted to purchase a hardcover copy of this book for my own use, it is also available on kindle for those who prefer to read on their smartphone, tablet, or computer.

One of my favorite things about this book is the author’s hyperfocus on topics that are directly applicable to guitarists. Whether the reader is a guitar player who wants to better understand their gear to enhance their understanding of signal processing and tone crafting or a hobbyist aspiring to repair, analyze, design, and build circuits, Electronics for Guitarists is likely to have something for the curious minded to take away. This book doesn’t shy away from presenting the basic math needed to demonstrate the circuit analysis topics being covered, but Professor Dailey manages to do so without getting too impractical with theory for the “non-engineer” type reader. He is insightful with his descriptions, his example scenarios often demonstrate real-world applications of technical concepts, and he provides numerous schematic examples that are perfect visuals for learning circuit analysis as well as give the reader a potential basis for their own circuit build project.

I’m personally most interested in Tube amps and analog effects, so the book’s main focus being on analog circuits was ideal for me. There is a large number of topics covered, such as Power Supplies, Pickups, Volume & Tone control, Transistor & Vacuum tube-based amplifiers, and a plethora of effects circuits such as distortion, overdrive, tremolo, reverb, phasers, flangers, wah, and many others.

When my copy of the Third Edition came in the mail, my immediate interest was in what additions were made from the previous edition, in which there were several exciting updates. This augmented 3rd edition contains all previously published topics as well as new additions, so the reader will not miss anything from not having owned/read the previous editions of this book.

Pictured below is the back cover of the book, which summarizes the updates made in this most recent edition.

2. Kyser Quick-Change Capo

Price Range: Around $22

This Kyser capo happens to be the first proper capo I ever purchased for myself, and it has served me faithfully for almost 10 years now. Some capos require a two-handed approach in their placement and removal. This Kyser unit only needs a hand. A guitar player can easily transpose the chords in their guitar songs in a flash so your guitarist friend can continue to build on his/her skills of playing the guitar. Seasoned guitar players know the value of a proper capo. This would make an incredibly useful and practical gift for a guitar player of any skill level. It also happens to be an incredibly affordable gift idea.

3. Vintage Guitar-Shaped Hook

Price Range: Around $15

I really like this set of multifunction wall hangers. What I find very pleasant about these hangers is that they resemble the headstock of conventional guitars. Each hanger consists of the upper portion of any guitar. This includes the headstock, the neck, and the first fret. You get a headstock of an acoustic, electric, and even a bass guitar. Mounting these hangers is easy enough. The hooks are also very strong, fully capable of carrying about 55 lbs of load. It might be tempting to use these hangers as a guitar hanger. They’re better as a hanger for clothes, bags, keys, and other items.

4. Marshall Bar Fridge

Price Range: Around $370

Get ready to play a prank on your guitar playing friend with this awesome-looking guitar amplifier from Marshall. Amplifiers are exceptional pieces of technology that any professional musician needs to create a sound worthy of the live stage. Your friend will be in for a pleasant surprise because the MF3.2 is not really a Marshall guitar amplifier. It is a bar fridge that can accommodate up to 40 cans of beer, 3 soda bottles, and 25 wine bottles. Yes, this is a refrigerator that should fit right in your friend’s bedroom or even his entertainment room. The details of the design are so accurate that it is easy to dismiss this contraption as nothing more than an amplifier. Just make sure to accompany your gift with your friend’s favorite beverages to stock the refrigerator immediately.

5. PEPKICN Rock Guitar Style Barbecue Tool Set

These barbecue tools will never rust because PEPKICN constructed them of only the finest quality stainless steel. Wood forms the handle on the barbecue tools to make them safer and more secure to hold. Both the spatula and the tongs have an electric guitar design. However, the guitar silhouette of the tongs is much slimmer than the spatula. Barbecue-loving guitarists and their friends will love the extra-long handle of these tools. It makes barbecuing a lot safer and more convenient, too. With this barbecue tool set, you’re giving your friend another reason to hold amazing weekends of barbecues and guitar playing.

6. Martin Steel String Backpacker Travel Guitar

Price Range: Around $300

Your friend may already have a guitar. I bet his guitar is not as compact and good-looking as this steel string travel guitar from Martin. At only 3 feet long, this great looking guitar is about 2 inches shorter than your average guitar. And while it is short, it still maintains a respectable scale length of 24 inches. This is the perfect string musical instrument for your friend who travels a lot. The widest section of the guitar is only a little over 9 inches. The flared lower body tapers to meet the fretboard at the neck to give you an instrument that looks as aerodynamic as it is sleek and great looking. Adding to the elegance of this guitar is the beautiful nature of spruce wood. This is one guitar that can effectively replace your friend’s string instrument.

7. Gifts Journey Personalized Wooden Guitar Picks

Price Range: Around $15

These have to be the loveliest guitar picks you can ever give to your friend. It is true that there are only 3 picks in this set. You can have the picks and the case customized to make it more meaningful for your friend. The wooden case features the design of an acoustic guitar. There are three molds in the case that serve as storage for the three picks. What’s more amazing is the fact that you can have guitar picks and the case engraved with your message or with any other word. Keep in mind that the maximum number of characters is only 16. Now that is a gift worth having. If you’re looking for personalized and unique gifts for guitar players, this is an excellent choice.

8. Ibanez Guitar Maintenance Multi-Tool

It draws its inspiration from the famed multi-tool, multi-function, pocket folding knife that’s very popular among elite forces and survivalists. Consider the MTZ as the Swiss Army Knife of seasoned guitarists. One thing that a guitar player will appreciate is the center hole that makes it easier to access the 11 different tools. The tools include 6 sizes of hex wrenches, a tube spanner, a ruler, and 3 types of screwdrivers. Like any folding pocket multi-tool, the MTZ should fit right in your friend’s pocket for instant guitar prepping and fixing on the go.

However, there is always the charm of analog wall clocks that makes them indispensable timekeeping pieces. Giving this whimsical guitar wall clock to a guitarist friend is sure to generate enthusiasm in him. He’ll be more upbeat about playing his guitar every time he glances at this clock. This is a device that not only tells you the time. It also showcases some of the most fascinating designs in the history of guitar. There are electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, and other string instruments radiating from the center. It may be tricky to tell the time because of the shadows and rich colors that the guitars create. Who needs to tell time when you can be so engrossed at the beautiful guitar art?

11. Guitar Chords Chart Poster Wall Art

Price Range: Around $30

Here’s a gift idea that I think will have a beginner guitarist feel very appreciated. It’s a rectangular wall art that features 132 different guitar chords. The canvas is not only waterproof, but it is also very resistant to tearing. The company says you can place this outdoors, and it will never degrade in quality. What you will find amusing about this gift item is that you can choose from 6 different sizes. The smallest is a 17×11-inch frame, and the largest is a 40×27-inch rectangle.

This level of customization is great for those who want something out of the ordinary.

12. MECOWON Vinyl Record Retro Coasters

Price Range: Around $7

Coasters are always good items to give on special occasions. This is especially true if the recipient is known for enjoying his beverages while doing a particular activity. He may be playing his guitar, doing work on his table, or simply watching the TV. In such cases, you’ll need a coaster that will serve as a barrier between the cup and the table or desk surface. And for your guitar playing friend, I cannot think of a more appropriate coaster to give than this set of 6 by MECOWON. These coasters are designed after the iconic vinyl records of the 60s, except that they are only 4.2 inches in diameter. They’re perfect for accommodating a variety of glasses and mugs. They won’t slip and will keep your friend enjoying his drinks. This is one of my favorite guitar gifts because they look awesome, and they’ll get a ton of use out of the coasters.

13. P Pluginz Marshall Jack Rack Key Hanger

Price Range: Around $35

Almost all musicians are familiar with Marshall. And I’m sure your friend knows about this brand, too. Giving him this wall-mounted key hanger will put a huge smile on his face. He will know just how much you appreciate his musical journey, especially his guitar playing adventures. This key hanger is not your average, run-of-the-mill type that you can get for a few dollars. This is a product that uses a real and authentic Marshall guitar amp plug faceplate. It is like putting a piece of history on the wall.

17. Pick-a-Palooza DIY Guitar Pick Punch

Price Range: Around $27

If you’re planning to give a guitar player a pick punch, I strongly suggest giving this item from Pick-a-Palooza. It is a complete set that gives anyone the ability to produce up to 100 colorful and high quality guitar plectrums. And even if your friend runs out of the pick strips, he can always use other materials. He can turn expired ID cards, gift cards, credit cards, and other plastic cards into useful plectrums. He can then store these picks in the accompanying pick case made of genuine leather. Adding a touch of elegance to the case is an electric guitar-shaped keychain. Your friend will never lose his plectrums ever again.

18. The Original Pick Punch

Price Range: Around $25

This is a great gift suggestion for the guitar player who prefers to keep things simple. There are no fancy pick strips that come with the package. There are also no pick holders and keychains to organize the different items. It is plain and simple pick punch. Just because it is an ordinary-looking pick punch doesn’t mean it is already mediocre. This gadget can produce thousands of plectrums over its lifespan. The only thing that will limit its usefulness is the availability of materials for a plectrum. This is not going to happen since there will always be plastic cards and other plastic products to turn into a guitar plectrum. Your friend will thank you for it.

19. Fender Stratocaster Cutting Board

Price Range: Around $30

Here’s another gift suggestion that any guitarist will appreciate. This product is especially meaningful to guitarists who also happen to be masters of the kitchen. The guitar shape of this premium quality bamboo cutting board will help your friend in coming up with dishes that are as wonderful as his guitar playing. Do take note that this is not your average guitar-shaped cutting board. It takes on the unique silhouette of the famous Fender Stratocaster. This is the iconic guitar of many music legends, such as Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Buddy Holly, and George Harrison. I’m confident your friend will feel like a rock star as soon as he opens this gift from you. Make sure to remind him to treat the board with 100% mineral oil before using it the first time. This is easily one of the best guitar players out there. Especially for those who cook a fair amount or just moved into a new place.

20. Smart-PO Phone Holder Capo

Price Range: Around $25

Here’s a really great gift you can give to any guitar player. The Smart-PO is actually a guitar capo. It has an added element that allows a guitar player to mount his smartphone. That’s hitting two birds with a single stone. If your friend is going to play a guitar song that doesn’t require a capo, he can always place the smartphone holder all the way to the base of the neck. This will never interfere with the natural tone of the guitar. The device can pivot and tilt to offer your guitarist friend the best viewing angle. Now, your friend will have a better view of chords, tabs, and even guitar video lessons.

The bamboo utensils never splinter, and they resist nasty odors. The spatulas, spoon, and fork will also never stain, so your friend gets to retain the amazing aesthetics of these utensils.

The neoprene padding of the guitar strap form blocks that allow for the more efficient circulation of air. This also helps the moisture-wicking property of the fabric material. It goes without saying that the KLIQ AirCell is a great way to carry the guitar in a very comfortable and convenient manner.

28. Fender 30 Barstool

Price Range: Around $99

Have you noticed what your friend is sitting on whenever he plays his guitar? While it is true that you can play a guitar in almost any position, the ideal will still be sitting on a barstool with the correct height. It is more comfortable this way. It is also more convenient for the guitar player to find the best possible position without having to reposition the stool. It is for this reason that I encourage you to give your friend the Fender 30 Barstool. At 30 inches tall, this stool should be enough for any guitar player. The ring around the lower third of the legs make excellent platforms for raising the guitar player’s leg. This will help prop the guitar to a more comfortable level. It’s a great gift that any guitar player will be pleased to have in their home.

29. Ernie Ball Glass Slide

Price Range: Around $7

A glass guitar slide is perfect for playing songs with the shortest possible sustain. Your friend will love Ernie Ball’s glass slide as it can provide the warmest possible tone. This is perfect for those who want that classic and silky slide sounds that are characteristic of blues. The slide is very easy to glide across the strings, allowing the guitar player to execute phenomenal slides with precision and ease. The only issue with glass slides is that they are breakable. Good thing Ernie Ball produces their glass slides with premium Pyrex materials. You can be sure that your friend will be using this slide for many years to come.

30. Dunlop 222 Brass Slide

Price Range: Around $10

If you know of a guitar player who always plays blues and rock and roll music with lots of slides, then you should give him the Dunlop 222.This brass slide is tougher, heavier, and more durable than a glass slide. It is the ideal slide for players of the electric guitar, especially those who want to execute the ear-splitting slides of heavy metal guitar riffs. The sustain is longer and the sound that the brass slide produces is both brighter and louder. Some would say that the sound is darker or harsher. I’d say it’s the kind of sound your friend will need to become the rock star that he is.

31. Wood Guitar Slide

Price Range: Around $21

Most of the guitar slides on the market are made of brass, chrome steel, ceramic, or glass. Metal slides offer brighter tones, while glass slides provide warmer tones. Ceramics are somewhere in between. It’s possible your friend already knows this. It’s time to surprise him with these bottleneck slides made of premium hardwood. Get your pick from Verawood, Flame-kissed ash, Leopardwood, Katalox, Goncalo Alves, Hormigo, and Curly Ash.

Not only do these slides produce amazing guitar sounds, they are also beautiful deserving a spot in your friend’s display cabinet.

32. Korg TM60BK Tuner Metronome

Price Range: Around $30

Guitarists have to play any song in its original tempo and rhythm. An ordinary guitar tuner won’t help your friend master this skill. The Korg TM60BK will. This is a guitar tuner that doubles as a metronome. While it is bigger and non-clippable like other tuners, it makes up for it by its superior-quality acoustic signal processor. Your friend will find tuning his guitar very easy with the large display. At the same time, he can play the guitar song just like the original. This device can pick up tempos from as slow as 30 BPM to as fast as 252 BPM. Your friend’s dream of becoming a superstar is now closer than ever.

35. Mr.Power Smartphone Holder Mount

Price Range: Around $12

Some of the beginner guitarists I know would prefer to have their mobile devices right in front of them, instead of on the side. If your friend happens to be like these people, then you should present him with this smartphone holder from Mr.Power. The design of this product is very similar to the suction cup-based mobile device holders we put in our car’s windshield. You can bet that the suction is powerful enough to hold your friend’s mobile device without the base getting released from its suction grip. The gooseneck arm and the swivel ball mechanism allow for effortless viewing angle positioning. It doesn’t work on nonporous surfaces, however. Your guitarist friend will still appreciate the thought, nevertheless.

36. BUYNEED Guitar Mug

They can use the mug to hold their favorite beverage. And if you give this guitar mug from BUYNEED, you’ll be reminding your friend of his passion for guitar playing and for music. Hot or cold, this mug is sure to keep the guitar player refreshed throughout his guitar playing session. And if he decides not to use it, the guitar mug will still be a good display piece.

37. Adironstix Musical Instrument Holder

Price Range: Around $170

This gift suggestion is one very interesting piece of wall art. Even without a guitar hanging on any of the three music instrument holders, the Adironstix will still prove to be an elegant piece on your friend’s wall. This wall-mounted guitar holder can accommodate three of your friend’s favorite string instruments. While the item comes in a flat black color, you can ask the company to design the Adironstix in the color of your choice. You can also create your own design and have the company make it for you.

39. Pyle Guitar Stand

Price Range: Around $50

Can’t afford elegantly crafted wooden guitar racks that double as a cabinet or as a workbench? Do you find the 3-guitar capacity of many guitar hanger systems to be less than ideal? If these are your concerns, then you might want to pick the Pyle guitar stand to give to your guitar playing friend. This guitar stand is not as fancy as wall art-themed systems and not as classy as wooden guitar racks. However, it does a good job of securing and organizing 7 of your friend’s string instruments. It has an open top that allows your friend to put even the biggest string instrument in. Assembling the stand isn’t a problem either. Your friend can put everything together within 5 minutes.

Price Range: Around $17

There really is no need to give your friend a very complicated tool set if he knows how to maintain his guitar very well. However, there will always be the need to replace the strings of his instrument. That’s why I believe D’Addario’s Pro-Winder is a great gift. This device does not come with a lot of tools. What it can do is cut excess guitar strings, pull the bridge pin, and even wind the pegs of the guitar. Your friend will enjoy the functionality of three different tools in a very elegant and ergonomic package. Guitar players will love using this tool because of its robust construction and dependable operation. Giving this to your guitar player friend will truly make his day.

43. Donner DC-2 Guitar Capo
