I recently found out that a good friend teamed up with my mother to get me a guitar. I don't know the specifics, but it's a *NICE* guitar. I'm not talking something new, it's an antique Guild Guitar that he got through a friend and he is cleaning it up and the whole 9 yards.

So I would like to get him something special that is related to guitar playing, but I have no idea. He seems to generally play Blues and Rock, he plays at all different tunings ( I swear I could tune each string to something other than normal and he could play almost any tune ), and he has a dozen or so guitars the total cost has to be worth more than my car. He has been playing for close to 40 years.

What can I get him? Any ideas?

This may or may not come off as very special to the person receiving it, but I definitely wouldn't mind one of these.

Get him a gold or silver hand-engraved pick. This site charges around $400 for 14 carat gold and $200 for sterling silver.

They look like this.

He does love stiff picks ( that sounded wrong ).

I say go for it then! They come in a pretty box so he can display it if he's not using it.
