Is the panic starting to settle in now that you only have a few days to secure your Christmas gifts? Are you worried your little rockstar is going to miss out on the ultimate six-string present? Well, you’ll be glad to know that while the big day is dangerously close, you do still have a few days to make a purchase and have it delivered in time for the 25th.

Of course, there are many music retailers out there, and not all of them can guarantee you’ll have the guitar in time. That said, many are offering a premium delivery option that means you can get your guitar fast-tracked to you for an extra cost.

All the latest guitar news, interviews, lessons, reviews, deals and more, direct to your inbox!

Thanks to its ultra-cool look, low cost, and shorter scale length, the Squier Sonic Mustang is a great choice for a budget beginner electric. It’s super comfortable to play and at just below $200, exceptional value for money.

The Yamaha Pacifica 112V might not have the same appeal as bigger names like Fender and PRS, but this guitar is a seriously good playing instrument. Perfect for beginner guitar players, the HSS pickup configuration and build quality make it phenomenal value.

With this Fender, you have a leading brand producing an excellent acoustic guitar at an entry-level price. In our tests, we found that this dreadnought’s all-mahogany construction produced a full, rounded sound with playability to match.
