Xmas?! Already? It’s not even turkey day yet…
Posted By Chris on November 23, 2009
That’s right, folks! Christmas is right around the corner, although I swear that corner gets smaller and smaller every year. People have already been shopping for a few weeks for Christmas presents, and the local malls have had their decorations up since Halloween it seems!
So let’s say you want to get your musician cousin/son/daughter/uncle/aunty/grandma/dog/friend/mom/dad a new guitar… Well see if you can find out what he wants first before buying just anything that has 6 strings on it! Music and instruments are very personal things to most people, and while one guitar may work for someone, it may not work for someone else.
Does he want an acoustic or an electric guitar? If you don’t know this, what kind of music do they listen to or what do they want to play? Jack Johnson? Probably acoustic. Led Zeppelin? Probably electric… But not always!
Try to give us as much information about the person receiving the gift when you come in to our stores and we’ll get you what we think the right product may be. But we always say that it’s best to bring the person into our store and let them choose their gear themselves. The same goes for drums, keyboards, ukulele, etc.
We offer gift cards for any amount, and maybe it’s wise to give them an early present. We will also be extending the return period* for the holiday season, just in case you didn’t see that Marshall Full Stack under the Christmas tree, but instead a Microcube. (You did ask for a BIG guitar amp, right?)
So come into our stores, browse around and let us know what you’re looking for. We’ll help you pick out the right gift to put under your tree. We may suggest some accessories for your guitar buddy and that he should come in and choose the guitar himself. But do know that a $100 card to a musicians candy store brings a big smile too!

*You have a few more days to return the items, but they still must be unopened and resalable as new.
