Father’s Day Gift Ideas For The Musical Dad

LOS ANGELES - May 12, 2014 - PRLog -- In 1972 President Richard Nixon signed into law that the third Sunday in June would be celebrated as Father's Day.  Since then children and wives have struggled for unique and meaningful gifts for Dad; often relying on the safe "go-to" gifts of a tie, BBQ tools, power drill or fishing pole.

For those whose Dads like music, consider a more creative gift this year. MAC Music Accessories, manufacturer of the SpeedPro Clip On Guitar Tuner, recommends an instrument, lessons or accessories.

"When you give Dad a guitar for Father's Day, you aren't just giving him an instrument. You're giving him a way to express his inner rock star," says Stacey Marmolejo, President of MAC Music Accessories. "Consider adding lessons and the basic accessories to get him started. Lessons are available at a local music school/store, have an instructor go to his home or show him where he can take advantage of the free guitar lessons available online. And the most basic accessories are a guitar tuner, guitar strap, picks and an extra pack of strings."

Many Dads have a guitar in the closet, often from before he became a father. For these dads, consider a Rock Camp for Dads.  A new guitar strap and tuner also make great gifts. "The advancements made in guitar tuners over the past five years will blow Dad's mind," said Marmolejo. "The SpeedPro guitar tuner reads the vibration of the guitar string and blocks out ambient noise, making it easier and faster than ever to tune your guitar."

The SpeedPro clip on guitar tuner is available exclusively on Amazon.com. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUS6J2I)

According to a 2013 survey by BIGinsight on behalf of National Retail Federation, the average person spent about $120 last year on a Father's Day gift.  That is easily enough money to buy a guitar for Dad.

Father's Day 2014 is June 15, 2014.
