Remudamom Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Need something not real expensive, sort of a little thank you for my brother. He won't want any thanks but he's getting them anyway. Ds says his budget for this could be around $150- $200 for the right thing! I have no idea what the right thing might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekanamom Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 What kind of guitar? Acoustic or electric...? Edited to add: a gift certificate for his favorite and/or local music shop could be useful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have this on the back burner to get my brother........ http://www.pickpunch.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 I don't know, he's got tons of guitars. Here's his band's page- https://www.facebook.com/TemptingKarma They used to be "On Call" because they're all doctors. I think they're making a cd.

PrairieSong Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I play acoustic. Guitars always need new strings. You would have to find out what kind he uses. Snark clip-on tuners are nice, but he probably has one. I like the music store gift certificate idea. I would love that. Other ideas: a guitar case or strap if he needs a new one, sturdy music stand, or...how about a session at a small recording studio? I have no idea how much that would cost, but it couldn't hurt to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug's Mom Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Another vote for a gift certificate to his favorite guitar shop. Dh & I play and used to own a guitar shop. If you don't know EXACTLY what strings/picks/etc. he prefers, the gc is a safe bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to their iTunes tracks right now. I'm going to buy their album and will look forward to the new one... Wow, that's a lot of recording they've been doing. First album released in July, and then back in the studio in January. (That is quite an investment of both time and money.) That pickpunch Lara linked to is pretty awesome, lol.

Twigs Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have this on the back burner to get my brother........ http://www.pickpunch.com/ Great mind think alike - this was the 1st thing I thought of, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Great mind think alike - this was the 1st thing I thought of, too. I would only get the pickpunch if he is a crafty sort. Crafty types would *love* it; non-crafty types just want to buy a pick and get pickin! It's *very* hard to buy people with serious hobbies things for those hobbies without really knowing what they're craving. Does he have assorted softwar/devices to record onto his computer at home? That could run into all kinds of money, of course, but perhaps there is something like a mike or some such that he would like? Does he have a spouse or significant other or bandmate you could ask???
