If you want to be able to buy your dad a set of strings and not worry about having to buy another set until Christmas, maybe even next year, the Ernie Ball PARADIGM Regular Slinky Electric Guitar Strings are the perfect choice for those on a (yearly) budget! The Paradigm strings are the strongest strings known to man and utilise patented RPS (Reinforced Plain String) technology, to bring you the same comfortable playing experience with added strength - they last a HELL of a lot longer than regular strings! The tensile strength has been increased by 35% and they offer up to 70% more fatigue strength too! Your Dad could potentially be playing the same set of strings until Christmas rolls around! Good luck trying to break one of these! Shop all guitar strings over at PMT Online.

Whether your Dad loves going to gigs, festivals or he’s in a touring band a set of earplugs are not only a great gift idea for Fathers Day, but they’re also an essential part of enjoying music safely. The Alpine Limited Edition Party Plug EarPlugs are designed to reduce the harsh frequencies that cause noise induced hearing loss and allow your Dad to still enjoy the music. They’re discreet, come with a little carry case so he can take them anywhere and they’ll allow him to enjoy his music, just at a lower volume. They’ll also work for you if you can’t stand his band!

If your Dad’s busting out that old guitar after a long period of lying in its case, do him (and yourself) a favour and get him a decent guitar tuner! There’s nothing worse than trying to play an out-of-tune guitar as it really kills the vibe! Thankfully high quality guitar tuners aren’t super expensive. The Planet Waves by DAddario Eclipse Headstock Tuner is way under £20 and one of the best gifts for Father’s Day by a longshot. It clips on to the guitar, is battery operated and provides super accurate tuning in an instant. There’s also limitless viewing angles making it a great option for lefties and classic guitar players.

If you’ve got a bit more budget to spend, here’s some of the best Father’s Day Gifts under £100. These are timeless gifts for the musically inclined dad that he will actually want to use. If he’s already musically active he’ll love them, or you never know it might just re-ignite that passion for music all over again.

The BandLab Link Analog Audio Interface is a highly portable audio interface that connects effortlessly to your Android and iOS device allowing you to jam ideas and record them anywhere/anytime. You have a high quality Neutrik Combo Jack Socket (XLR or 1/4” Jack) for guitar or line-level instruments and vocals making it a perfect solution for the singer songwriter Dad, or those who want to be able to record their guitars or keyboards in high quality whenever they like.

If your Dad is an audiophile, producer or budding DJ, the Shure SRH440 Professional Studio Headphones are the ultimate gift. These industry standard headphones have been voiced to provide an accurate sound akin to studio monitors, meaning you get studio quality audio at all times.

Whether your Dad has got 1 or 100 guitars, the humidity, central heating and adverse temperatures will affect them in some way. The Planet Waves Humiditrak Humidity Monitor sends you alerts when the temperature and humidity levels drop or rise below or above safe levels. These alerts are sent to your phone and keep your Dad clued up as to what rooms might be causing his guitars damage. A guitar that gets too moist will eventually rot and provide a lifeless sound wheras a dried out guitar will crack and potentially snap - you don't want that happening! A nifty gift idea that will actually save your Dad's guitar from serious damage and keep them at their best.

Every man-cave needs a cool stool and every shed needs a somewhere cool to sit. The Gretsch “Since 1883” Barstool 30 Inch is a great way to add that extra cool vibe to your studio, spare room or anywhere really!

If your Dad loves old school synths, the Korg Monotron Duo Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer is a fantastic Father’s Day gift idea. This battery powered, palm size analogue synth is fun to play and features a ribbon controller keyboard for ease of use. Although it may look a little childish, it’s certainly no toy, but a powerful analogue synth capable of producing a wide range of great sounds. Whether you add it to your Dad’s existing synth workflow or use it to re-ignite his love for the world of synths, the Korg Monotron Duo Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer is a great gift that won’t break the bank, but will provide a lifetime’s worth of enjoyment.

If your Dad wants to be able to practice guitar anywhere in the house without dragging around a huge amp, or disturbing anyone else, then this is easily one of the best Father's Day gifts for musician Dads. The Boss Katana-Mini guitar amplifiers are packed with a load of different amp sounds as well as effects, so whatever music genre your dad is into, there's a sound here he'll like. This already impressive practice amp pumps out 7 watts of power - which is more than enough to annoy the neighbours, but has been loaded with a headphones output so your Dad can practice in silence.

A ukulele is a fantastic gift for Father’s Day as it’s an incredibly portable instrument that won’t take up too much room. These instruments are easily stored and brought out when inspiration strikes and a great way to get your Dad back into playing music. We recommend the Alvarez RU26CCE Concert Ukulele Electro Acoustic Natural Satin as it’s a pro-level uke at a budget price. Best of all, you can plug into an amp when you need to.
