Must-have Guitar Accessories

There are a number of useful add-ons you can buy that'll help you protect your new guitar and achieve the sound you want.

Case: It’s a good idea to store your guitar properly in a case to improve its durability. Lightweight softshell cases and “gig bags” work well for guitarists who have to carry their guitar around a lot. Hardshell cases are more suitable if you plan to play live on a regular basis. Guitars can easily get damaged at venues if not stored properly. Beginners may want to simplify the buying process and get a beginner’s pack that includes a guitar and a case. A few common case abbreviations you may see in item listings include:

HSC: Hardshell case.

SSC: Softshell Case.

OHSC: Original hardshell case.

OSSC: Original softshell case.

Strings: New strings tend to sound better and last longer than used strings. It’s useful to have a couple of spare sets for when your strings start to snap. You can also use a string winder to crank the tuning pegs and string your guitar even faster.

Picks (also known as plectrums): Guitar picks get lost very easily, so it’s a good idea to have a lot of them to hand.

Tuner: Although some sellers will tune a guitar for you, you'll need to tune it for yourself once you start playing. An electronic tuner can help you achieve just the right notes. This can be extremely helpful for beginners who can't yet tune their instruments by ear.

Strap: Unless you plan to stay seated while playing, it’s a good idea to buy a strap so that you can support the weight of your guitar with your neck, shoulders and back while standing.

Cables: Electric guitars and bass guitars require proper instrument cables to connect the guitar to an amplifier.

Pickup: You can amplify your acoustic guitar with an add-on pickup.

Stand: To help protect your guitar and display it at home and on stage, it’s a good idea to store your guitar on a stand.

Slide: Slides can be used to change pitch quickly by moving your finger up and down your guitar’s fretboard.

Capo: Capos clip onto your guitar’s fretboard and are used to hold down all your strings and uniformly raise pitch.

Instruction Manuals: Instruction books, CDs, DVDs or videos can help you learn to play much faster than learning by ear.
