Default Help With Student Birthday Gift.
He plays a Les Paul, got him a t-shirt one year. Got him a strap once. He has a tuner.

My brain is vapor locked. Help me out here. $20 / $ 40.

If there is a Guitar Center near him (or if he orders online), just get him a gift card.

Does he have pedals? Get him a new one - there's a million of them out there.

How about another T-shirt? Something humorous perhaps? The kid can't just wear that same one shirt all the time.

Maybe something only a guitar player would understand like this one:



Or a "Theory Cheat Shirt" like this https://www.tonedeafcomics.com/colle...ry-cheat-shirt

His family has money. He has several stands, a pedalboard, and many books.

I like the Les Paul book and love the humorous t-shirt and Bluechip idea.

Keep 'em coming, you're helping immensely.

His family could adopt me, but you'd be out of a job!
