Strat Tweed Case If a guitar case can be a classic, this one is it. 
| D'Addario light gauge strings 3-Pack (Elec) I've tried dozens of different strings and these are the best. Use this guage for rock and light jazz. 
| D'Addario light gauge strings 10-Pack (Elec) Great deal. 
| D'Addario light gauge strings 3-Pack (Acous) To my ear, these are the best sounding and longest lasting acoustic strings out there. 
|
D'Addario extra light strings 10-Pack (Elec) These are really light strings,(.09 guage high E) but if you play a certain style with a really light touch, they do a good job. 
| D'Addario classical strings (hard) These will give you a bright, pronounced tone. 
| D'Addario classical strings (normal) These provide a warmer, traditional tone. 
| Quality music stand There's nothing more annoying than a music stand that's too small or flimsy. This one is neither. 
|
Mic-stand sheet music holder This is great on-stage. Much less obtrusive than traditional stands. 
| Wall-mount guitar stand These are really handy. Just be sure you mount it to a stud! 
| String Winder and Cutter This makes changing guitar strings a LOT easier. Every guitar player needs one. 
| 12' Monster Guitar Cord w/ Straight Jacks Monster makes great cords. This one is well-suited to a Strat-style guitar or any instrument with an indented input jack. 
|
12' Monster Guitar Cord w/ Angled Jack Angled jacks are more convenient on non-Fender guitars. They conform better to the body style of Les Pauls or other guitars where the plug isn't indented. 
| The original Crybaby Wah Hendrix, Santana, Joe Walsh and a slew of modern players use this. It adds sweeping tonal changes instantly. 
| MXR Phaser Another old-school classic. This is phase shifting as it was meant to sound. 
| Cabasa These are great fun. And they give your S/O something musical to do while you're jamming out. 
|
Effects Jumper Cable If you have effects pedals, you need these. Get a bunch. 
| Big Muff Distortion These were popular in the '80s and they produce a very particular, fairly 'hot' distortion with lots of harmonics. 
| Ernie Ball Volume Pedal Any effects rack should have one of these at the end of the chain. It's essential for controlling your sound on-stage. 
| Bass Drum Practice Pedal Bet you drummers thought I forgot you. Not so. Here's a great, QUIET, inexpensive way to keep in-shape either at-home or on the road. 
|
Boss Digital Delay Pedal Great sound; rugged pedal. What more is there? 
| Rythm Cricket These are great. You hear them on everything from Tito Puente to Maroon 5. 
| Boss Chorus Pedal Another staple of the '80s. It's very versatile and you can get some great, thick effects from it. 
| Firth - Weckl Drumsticks (Wooden) These are great looking sticks. You won't want to toss them into the crowd. 
|
Firth Drumsticks (Wooden) These are good sticks, too, but you might not mind sending them flying. 
| Drumstick Wax This stuff helps you keep your grip. 
| Zildjian Cymbal Wall Clock This is our only cymbal. It keeps great time (Get it?) 
| Trumpet Mouthpiece Asymetric mouthpieces are really cool. They allow for more lower lip movement and greater range. Try one out. 
|
Guitar Stand - Electric Much more stable than the old tri-legged style. Electrics of all stripes will fit nicely. 
| Guitar Stand - Acoustic Like its sister described above, this is much more stabe than the old style stands. This one is well suited to any acoustic or large-body electric. 
| Behringer Eurorack 6-Channel Mixer Wonderful little mixer at a GREAT price. Includes good mic pres, phantom power, great EQ, aux sends for CHEAP! 
| Behringer Eurorack 10-Channel Mixer More of what the 6-channel mixer offers, but with sliders and still really affordable. 
|
Shure SM58 Microphone and Cable This mic has been around forever. It's the best vocal mic availble for stage use. Period. 
| Shure SM57 Microphone Another classic, this mic is best suited to micing instruments and amps. We've also had good luck sticking them in front of bass drums. It's a great utility mic and you can't have too many of them. 
| Sabine Tuner and Metronome A great chromatic tuner and metronome combined at a very good price. | |
