Christmas is the perfect time to spoil the guitar lover in your life – whether they’re picking up their very first instrument or already gigging every weekend. To make things easy, we’ve pulled together a practical gift guide using gear we know and love here at Acoustic Centre. From starter packs and compact travel guitars to pro-level preamps and stocking-fillers, you’ll find something for every player and every budget.
Everything below links directly to the relevant collections and products on our website, so you can browse options, compare specs and order in just a few clicks.
If someone on your list is just getting started, a complete starter pack is the easiest way to put everything they need under the tree in one hit. These bundles usually include a quality beginner-friendly guitar, gig bag, picks, strap and tuner – so there’s no guesswork about what else to buy.
A classic dreadnought starter pack with everything a first–time player needs to begin their guitar journey with confidence.
A comfortable, easy–playing acoustic with solid build quality – ideal for beginners who want a guitar that will last.
You can explore more beginner-friendly options in our Beginner Guitars and Guitars Under $1000 collections, which are curated specifically with new and progressing players in mind.
For the player who’s always on the move, a compact or travel guitar is an amazing gift. These instruments are smaller and easier to handle, but still deliver serious tone – perfect for couch practice, holidays or throwing in the car for a summer road trip.
A modern classic: punchy, warm and incredibly playable. The GS Mini has become the go-to compact acoustic for guitarists worldwide.
You’ll find more small–body instruments and ¾–size options in our Mini & Travel Guitars collection – it’s the perfect place to shop for players who want a great guitar that won’t take over the living room.
If your guitarist already owns a beginner instrument, Christmas is a great excuse to help them step up to something nicer. A well–made all–solid or solid–top guitar can be inspiring to play and will keep rewarding them for years as their skills grow.

Know a guitarist who’s already playing live, leading at church, or doing regular open mics? Give them a gift that makes every gig sound better. A dedicated acoustic preamp/DI is one of the best upgrades you can make to a live rig.
A pro-grade acoustic preamp & DI with powerful EQ, boost and tuner. It’s a complete control centre for any acoustic performer.
For more gig–ready options, check out our Preamps and DI and Amplifiers collections – they’re packed with gear that will keep your favourite guitarist happy on stage all year round.
Accessories are the definition of “can’t go wrong” Christmas gifts. They’re affordable, universally useful and always appreciated. Strings, picks, straps and stands all make great presents or stocking fillers.
From handmade BlueChip and Wegen to Gravity and Black Mountain designs, a handful of premium picks can transform feel and tone.
A comfortable, good–looking strap is a gift they’ll use every time they play. DSL leather straps are made in Australia and built to last.
A quality stand keeps their pride and joy safe and on display – which also means they’ll play it more often.
You’ll find all of these and more in our Guitar Strings, Picks, Straps and Stands collections.
If your guitarist already has all the “fun” gear, consider gifts that protect and maintain their instrument. Proper cleaning, humidity care and basic tools can dramatically extend the life and playability of any guitar.
High–quality cleaners, polishes and conditioners designed specifically for guitars – the perfect way to keep their instrument looking and feeling new.
Humidity control packs and kits help prevent cracks, warping and long–term damage – a must for any serious acoustic guitar owner.
Handy tools like the Music Nomad truss rod wrench make basic adjustments safer and easier for players who love to dial in their own setups.
Explore our full Guitar Care, Humidity Care and Tools categories for more options.
If you’re after smaller gifts or last–minute add–ons, there’s no shortage of options that every guitarist will appreciate. Think fresh strings, clip–on tuners, capos, slides or a handful of new picks to experiment with.
Still not sure what to choose? A gift voucher lets your favourite guitarist have the fun of picking out their own gear in-store or online, while you still get the credit for a perfectly targeted present.
However you decide to spoil them, we hope this Christmas gift guide makes shopping for the guitar fan in your life a whole lot easier – and helps bring even more music into their year ahead.
