A set of headphones that he can plug up to his amp!. that way he can play loud without disturbing the nagging parents!. lol worked for me!. or a distortion pedal if hes into rock!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the first poster meant Wah Pedal, annd the second poster meant a Capo!.

Get him a Custom Engraved Pick!.
One of the above posters recommended the Sterling Silver Guitar pick, which is $30!. I have one of those!.
Then, the other day I ran into this!.!.!.

Custom Engraved Metal (hard aluminum, I believe) for Very Cheap!
Each pick is only like a dollar, and you can get a custom engraved picture, logo, text, anything you want, ON BOTH SIDES, no additional charge!. And there are 6 or 7 colors available!.
The guy also sells chains for like $1!.25, and the colors can match the pick color!.

There is a $1 or $2 shipping charge, but it's only $1 for the entire order!.
I'm about to order around 13 custom picks and a bunch of chains from this guy, for only 25 dollars!. And these are essentially the same thing as the $30 Silver Guitar pick on musiciansfriend!.com, just a different material!.

I think the item is called a campo!. That's totally a guess but it is a bar that goes across the strings and stays clamped there to bring the overall sound up in pitch!. It will sound higher!. I have two kids (16 yr girl, 13 yr boy) who both play guitar!. It is a gift they have both asked for!. also, music stand, picks, cool guitar strap, sheet music, electronic tuner!. The options are endless!. Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

get him a Boss Distortion pedal ($40) Or, get him several things like, strings, a strap, a tuner, picks, capo, slide, cables!. Some of the things I listed he may have, but a guitarist can NEVER have too many strings or picks etc!.!.

hope that helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I got a paul stanley distortion pedal for 50 dollars, and it works great!

You could always look into electronics, and make something for him!. (I am making a fuzz box)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The thing the lady above me is referring to is called a CAPO!.
Anyways, last year I bought my guitar loving boyfriend a silver pick necklace!. He loves it!Www@QuestionHome@Com
