New for 2024! - 5 gift ideas for a guitarist with a Stratocaster.
It is difficult buying gifts for guitarists, especially if you don't know the first thing about guitars.
But do not fear - we have got you covered.
Providing you know the make/model of guitar, and whether or not they are right or left handed, we have some ideas for you.
The parts in this list are all perfect for Fender USA Stratocasters. You can find our other Christmas gift lists HERE.
Allparts Roller String Trees
Most Strats come with a tremolo of some sort (see here for an example) which, although they are a lot of fun and sound great, do cause tuning issues.
These Roller String Tress decrease friction to the string, allowing it to move freely as it is stretched or loosened by the tremolo.
Easily replaces the Strats current string trees.

Hipshot O Ring Control Knobs
Sweaty palms are no longer a worry. These control knobs come fitted with rubber rings to improve grip when adjusting volume/tone. A little upgrade part for any guitar, including a Strat.
Schaller S-Locks - Locking Strat Locks
Every guitar benefits from a set of locking strap locks.
There is always the risk of the strap slipping off normal strap buttons. Strap Locks lock the strap to the guitar - no worry of slipping there.
A new button replaces the button on the guitar, and a lock is fitted to the guitar strap.
Allparts Pickguard
A new pickguard is a great way to personalise a Strat. The Allparts Pickguard comes in a variety of colours - plenty of options to suit all types of finishes.
Hipshot Locking Tuners
You can't really go wrong with these Locking Tuners. Not only does the locking mechanism make changing strings super easy (no more wraps around the post), they also improve the guitar's tuning stability. The higher gear ratio of the Hipshots also makes them super accurate.
All sets come with mounting plates to fit them - no modifications required.
If the guitar has vintage-style tuners (for an example, see here), then make sure to go for this version.

If you are feeling unsure about any of the above, you can always give them one of our Christmas gift cards.
