Village Music’s Ultimate Gift Guide for The Beginning Guitarist
The most wonderful and musical time of the year is upon us – the holiday season. Filled with feelings of warmth, joy, tradition, and the cheer of Christmas music, we’re also faced with the inevitable burden of shopping for the perfect gifts for loved ones. For those with a musician in the family, we’re here to help. One of the most popular items on any player’s list is a new guitar. The joy of giving a guitar lies in the truth that there really is nothing more enduring than the gift of music.
Keep the peace in your holiday season and avoid the hustle and bustle of over-crowed malls or big-box stores with disgruntled, seasonal employees and choose the warm and inviting environment of your local music store, Village Music Wellington. We have a wide selection of guitars, ukuleles, amplifiers, and other gear, along with a friendly, knowledgeable staff ready to help you check another family member off your shopping list (not to mention a cozy café to relax in during or after your shopping experience.) For your convenience, we’ve a created a comprehensive list of some great gift ideas for the beginning guitar player on your list!

This is the easiest and most efficient all-in-one option, guaranteeing that you have everything you need in one box. Shopping for an item you know little to nothing about can become frustrating, so these packs assure that the receiver is getting everything he or she needs to start rockin’ out immediately! Examples of guitar packs we have in store are the Yamaha Gigmaker Standard Acoustic and the Gigmaker Electric.

Ukuleles
This Hawaiian-based instrument has become a big hit with players of all ages and sizes and will undoubtedly be on the top of many Christmas lists. They’re not only compact and aesthetically pleasing, they’re easy and so much fun to play!
We usually recommend students under the age of eight who desire to play guitar to start on a ukulele as they’re more comfortable to hold, easier to understand, and have softer strings. With over ten different brands to choose from, Village Music is your go-to uke destination!
3/4 or 1/2 Sized Guitars
If you’re after a specific guitar for your young son or daughter, or are looking for a travel instrument, our smaller-sized guitars might be just what you had in mind. The Squier Stratocaster Mini is the pint-sized version of a Jimi Hendrix style guitar for the young rocker. They come in various colors and are a great way to get kids loving the electric guitar!
If acoustic music is more your speed, the Martin LX1 is the perfect fit. This ¾ sized acoustic guitar is made by the oldest, most iconic and longest-standing guitar manufacturer in America. The LX1 has a powerful and warm sound with punchy and lasting sustain despite its petite stature. As a licensed Martin dealer, you can be sure to always find one of these in stock at Village Music!
Music Lessons
You just got a cool new guitar for Christmas; you plug it in, tune it up, and realize you don’t know how to play? Now what? Once again, Village Music has got you covered. We have the most professional and experienced teachers in the area, specializing in vocals, piano, guitar, bass, drums and all other instruments. They’ll have you rocking out on stage in no time!
Gift Cards
When in doubt, gift cards are always a great option. Shopping for musical instruments can get confusing, which is why we offer gift cards of any denomination to make sure the individual you’re shopping for is satisfied and starts the New Year rockin’ on his or her favorite instrument.
