10 rockin’ guitar gifts for Father’s Day 2026

Dads can be notoriously difficult to buy for (mine certainly is). Even if playing guitar is his favourite hobby, it’s not always easy knowing what gear will actually rock his world. A Strat-shaped lunchbox or any other novelty stinker that made our “what not to buy guitarists” list definitely won’t!

To save you the hassle, we’ve rounded up a few fab Father’s Day guitar gifts that the strummer or shredder in your life will genuinely love. From pocket-sized guitar pedals to portable practice amps that double as Bluetooth speakers, there’s plenty of inspo below…

1. Guitar tech & maintenance essentials bundle

We stock an awesome range of guitar care products to help keep his pride and joy looking spotless and playing like a dream. Polishing sprays, fingerboard oils, setup tools… you name it.

But if you don’t fancy scrolling through dozens of options, our Andertons Guitar Tech & Maintenance Essentials Bundle has you covered. It includes everything Dad will need to get his guitar in top shape:

Jim Dunlop body & fingerboard care kit: Perfect for keeping his axe clean, shiny and well-conditioned.
11-piece guitar care toolkit: Includes a string cutter, measuring gauges, fret files and other handy tools.
Cork work mat & neck cradle: No more awkward balancing acts! These make working on a guitar safe and easy on any surface.
Trigger capo: A must-have for quick, accurate adjustments and hassle-free restringing.

2. Mini guitar pedal

Mini guitar pedals from the likes of Tone City and Landlord FX will always go down well. As they’re so small, they’re an absolute doddle to wrap and Dad will have no trouble squeezing one onto his pedalboard. But don’t be fooled — just because they’re tiny, doesn’t mean they sound it!

Plenty of these petit stompboxes come in under £50 too, so you won’t have to break the bank to surprise Dad with a fresh, inspiring new effect this Father’s Day.

3. Guitar pedalboard bundle

Really wanna treat him? Check out our range of guitar pedalboard bundles. Each kit includes a sturdy Tone City pedalboard, a handpicked selection of mini pedals, plus patch cables and a power supply — all the stuff Dad will need to get up and running. Then once everything’s been unwrapped, he can build his new setup, plug in and start exploring a whole load of wicked sounds.

The coolest thing about these bundles is that they’re tailored to specific genres, with some even designed to capture the sound of a famous player. If he’s into Metallica or Judas Priest, he’ll be melting faces in no time with our Metal Pedalboard Kit. Big Van Halen fan? Go for the Eruption-Inspired Pedalboard Bundle. Or if Noel Gallagher’s his fave, the “Sound Like Oasis” Pedalboard Bundle will do the trick. There’s no way he’ll be looking back in anger after that prezzie!

4. EastCoast Bounce 15 desktop amp & Bluetooth speaker

Dad won’t always have the house to himself to crank up his prized valve amp. So, for those quieter moments (like an after-work practice sesh), a desktop guitar amp such as the EastCoast Bounce 15 is a perfect pick. It models eight legendary amps to cover almost any style and comes packed with four tasty built-in effects.

The Bounce 15 also features Bluetooth audio playback, so it doubles as a nifty little speaker for jamming along to backing tracks — or just kicking back with a few favourite tunes.

5. Mic stand phone/tablet holder

If your old man’s out gigging on the reg, one of these phone or tablet holders can be a lifesaver for lyrics. Especially when some geezer inevitably shouts “Wonderwall” and he can’t quite remember how the second verse goes.

They can also be handy if Dad uses an app to control things on his mixing desk or amp. Or, if he just wants to keep an eye on the time so his set runs to schedule.

6. Mogami guitar cable

Yeah, guitar cables aren’t the most exciting thing to unwrap on Father’s Day — but hear us out. Mogami are pretty much the Ferrari of guitar leads, and if Dad knows great tone, he’ll know these are the real deal. “The Cable of the Pros” is the company’s motto, after all. And they’re the exact cables our video team trusts for Andertons TV recordings.

Manufactured in Japan and the UK, Mogami cables use proprietary Neglex oxygen-free copper, quad-core designs and high-density shielding to keep noise and interference to a minimum. In plain English? Crystal-clear tone, rock-solid reliability and a signal chain that’ll have Dad sounding better than ever.

7. Hercules guitar hanger/stand

Is Dad still using the same dodgy stand that came with his first guitar? Or worse, leaning his £1,000 axe up against a wall or amp? Whatever guitar-storing crime he’s committing, we’re sure he’d appreciate a high-quality stand. And they don’t come much better than those made by Hercules.

Now, any Hercules stand is a great shout, but the GS414B Plus AGS Guitar Stand is a real standout (sorry, had to). That’s thanks to its clever Auto Grip System, which safely locks the guitar in place with arms that close around the neck as soon as it’s rested on the stand. It also features super-grippy feet, so it stays firmly put no matter what.

8. Guitar strap

If Dad’s been rocking the same weathered, slightly questionable strap for donkeys’ years, there’s no better time for an upgrade. And if his current one’s covered in flames… do him a favour and go for something a bit classier. They weren’t cool in 2001 and they’re still not!

Leather straps are always a safe bet as they look great and are built to last. Neoprene options are super durable and comfy too, making them ideal for heavier electric guitars like a Les Paul. And for a proper touch of luxury, look out for straps with memory foam that are nice and easy on the shoulder.

9. Andertons merch

To show your resident guitar hero how much you love ‘em this Father’s Day, why not go the extra mile with a prezzie from our exclusive Andertons merch line? Perfect if they’re a fan of our YouTube channel.

We’ve got t-shirts to suit all kinds of dad bods, plus hats, hoodies and sweatshirts if he fancies going full head-to-toe in Andertons clobber. And if his practice sessions are powered by a brew or two, you can’t go far wrong with the classic Andertons logo mug.

10. Andertons E-Gift voucher

Still not 100% sure what to get? An Andertons E-Gift Voucher is a fail-safe option that’ll still put a smile on Dad’s face. Choose any amount, and he can pick out exactly what he wants or put it towards that next big gear purchase. Easy peasy!

Our vouchers range from £10 to £500 and are sent digitally, with printer-friendly options too. So, you’ll still have something to hand over before or after the big Sunday roast. They can be redeemed both online and in-store too, so they’re as flexible as it gets.
