Best Gifts for Guitarists & Producers
The holiday shopping season is here, and we're here to make your lives a little easier with a curated guide to winning your gift giving for the guitarist-producer in your life (or let's be honest, for yourself). We'll break it into a few categories, along with our "Top Buys" for the season.
Guitar Accessories for the Studio MIDI Guitar
Guitar Stands & Wall Mounts
- Hercules Mini Electric Guitar Stand *Jamstik Team - Top Buy
This portable guitar stand from Hercules is easy to pack and fits the small profile of the Studio MIDI guitar like a glove.
Capos
Can't find that capo anywhere? Happens to the best of us. Capos work great on the Studio MIDI Guitar and can be a convenient tool for songwriting!
MIDI Foot Controllers
A MIDI foot controller can be your best friend in the studio, allowing you to keep your hands off the mouse and on your guitar. We highly recommend the Live Logic from Blackstar!

Blackstar Live Logic *Jamstik Team - Top Buy
Tuners & Kits:
As you likely know, keeping the Studio MIDI Guitar in tune is extremely important. While you can always use the built-in tuner in the Jamstik Creator app, sometimes you just want a standard tuner.
MPE-Capable Apps, DAWs, & Plugins
Plugin - Equator2: ROLI's hybrid synthesizer is an excellent companion for your Studio MIDI Guitar, and is loaded with over 570 MPE presets! Tip: Equator2 is now available on Splice! *Jamstik Team - Top Buy
Plugin - Xfer's Serum: This is a powerhouse soft synth with deep functionality and customizability. It was one of the first plugins we ever tried the Jamstik's MPE capabilities with, and we've never stopped using it. It's legendary for a reason. *Jamstik Team - Top Buy
Tip: Make sure to enable MPE within Serum to get the most out of the two products together. In Serum, click ‘Menu’ in the upper right of the plugin. Then, at the bottom of the list, make sure MPE is enabled.
Portable MIDI Keyboards:
We're hesitant to promote these considering we make MIDI gear for guitarists, but if you're a producer, it's convenient to have a simple 12-24 key controller at your fingertips.
LUMI Keys Studio Edition:
