Ernie Ball Electric Power Peg Winder - £23.99

Changing the strings of a guitar is no players favourite past-time, especially those who own a 12-string... As an incentive to change those dull and rusting strings a few weeks sooner, the Ernie Ball Power Peg Winder takes the manual labour out of the task. Welcome in any guitarists toolkit, this is a timesaver that would be sure to place you in their good books.

Roadie 3 - £149

If you're feeling generous or your secret Santa budget has been set sky-high - the Roadie 3 is the luxury tool that most guitarists don't know they need. The Roadie will restring and tune in one fell swoop, to 150 different tunings. This new model also includes a built-in vibrating metronome along with some other new exciting features.

Fazley Metro-01 Mechanical Metronome - £25

Does the guitarist in your life need to be brought back into time? A necessity for any musician is a metronome, to play in time is the foundation on which all music is built. Make sure that the player you're buying for knows their 4/4 from their 7/8 and their andante from their allegro. You might need to buy a slightly bigger stocking though...

Dunlop 220 Metallic Chromed Steel Slide - £12.90

The cheapest item on this list but by no means the least! Unlocking new sounds and hours of fun, a slide is something that will bring a challenge and joy to any guitarist - tune to an open tuning of choice (DADGAD is perfect) and enjoy. I’m sure there’s plenty slide friendly Christmas carols to be played!
