Top Guitar Equipment Every Player Should Try

items My go-to guitars and must-have gear for blues, rock, and everything in between. These picks (pun intended) deliver great tone, feel, and performance — whether you're jamming at home or hitting the stage.
I haven't been able to put this one down since I bought it. The Fender AM Pro ii combines modern design and comfort with that old-school classic tele twang. The available colors Fender has made for this model really amp (pun intended) it up.
American Professional II Telecaster® | Electric Guitars - Fender
My second favorite guitar in my stable. Strats are a must have for any guitarist. American made guitars are expensive. This will get you in a quality American build without paying Gibson prices.
American Professional II Stratocaster® | Electric Guitars - Fender
I’m a fairly new guitar player and absolutely love my tele. Great shape, neck and that classic twang sound.
Telecaster Guitars – Fender
Also have to show some love for the strats. I finally convinced myself to learn to play after hearing Mark Knopfler absolutely shred some solos on a Stratocaster.
Stratocaster Guitars – Fender
Hands down the best hard case on the market for your strat or tele. This is the Fender brand and is molded specifically for the tele and strat. It has 3 latches, locks and perfect for travel. I have 2 and will never buy a different kind.
Deluxe Molded Case - Stratocaster®/Telecaster® | Accessories
I just put these on my tele when I got a setup and I have to admit, i am quite impressed. They feel and play great. They are pricey, but in my opinion, the quality justifies the price.

A clip on tuner is a must for any guitar player. I tried the apps and for some reason they don't always pick up my low E and I get frustrated so i Googled the solution and the consensus was to get an actual physical tuner. This clips onto your headst...
Fender FT-1 Clip-On Guitar Tuner, Chromatic
Once I started practicing standing up, it was clear i needed a strap. I over research everything I buy including this. The padding makes this strap (and brand for that matter) a great pick. I like the leather look with pattern. Stylish and comfort.
Levy's Leathers (M4WP-006) strap
My one and only amp. When I first bought my first electric, I researched amps, and this is the one I settled on and I have no regrets. Yes, there are cheaper amps out there, but believe it or not, you're still getting more bang for your buck with thi...

Fender Wavelength Tortoise Shell Picks 6-Pack
Buying new guitars is an illness and I've been infected for years. Gotta have every tone in the bag. The Fender Jazzmaster is known for it's unique tone, durability and playability. Some of the greats favor it and when you hear one played proper, it'...
American Professional II Jazzmaster® | Electric Guitars
No affiliate link on this one, but I can't leave it off of my list because of how good it is. If I could only have one pedal (what a horrible thing to say) it is hands down this one.
Tumnus Deluxe distortion pedal
Strap locks are something you want to have before you know you need them. What do I mean by that? I learned I needed them when I was practicing standing up and moving on a stage when my Les Paul came loosened from my strap, and fell onto the stage. L...

Don't be the guy/gal that tries to re-string your guitar without one of these. I was and didn't realize how unreal hard it can be.
