What do you keep in your guitar pockets?


Steven Tari

Recommended Posts

I've seen a lot of empty pockets in guitar cases for as long as I remember. I've always tried to keep things that I need for the guitar while I'm out playing.

 

1- 2 Packs of strings

 

2- pack of extra picks

 

3-Clip on Tunner

 

4-Lint free rag to wipe off guitar after playing

 

I have 3 clip on tunners. So I have one whenever I go out.

 

What do you keep in yours?[biggrin]

Here's mine

 

1.Strap

2.ziplock bag of parts (mainly my old knobs and one of those little plastic tuning peg turner thingy lol)

3.'from now on' my Vox AC30 Amplug

4.maybe a pick or two

5.tuner (not so much anymore, i lost it)

6.truss rod adjuster (never use it, but it stays in there)

7.i used to have some extra strings to keep in there, but don't have the money to replenish them.

8. glass slide

 

i think that's it.

 

edit: I also keep a guitar cable up at the top of the case behind the head stock.

All in the case. Picks, always an extra pack of strings, string winder, if I remember wire cutters (Im finicky, if I have extra stringage I need it gone), extra cable, strap

 

I have no idea how I fit it all, but I do.

I keep a strap in the pocket of each of my guitar cases, nothing else. Everything else goes in the gig bag. I pick up whichever guitar I want, grab the the gig bag (briefcase size), and I always have everything I need.

 

Now if the question was "what's in your gig bag?". That would be a long list.

I just cleaned out one of my cases and found-

 

A polishing cloth

Old band stickers

A rap CD(it was a freebie at SXSW)

a Kit-Kat wrapper

and a flashing Budweiser St. Patty's Day pin.

 

 

Only the essentials......:-

Apparently I need to keep more of my pics in the case instead of the little watch pocket on my Levi's - My wife was complaining that five pair of jeans she was washing all had GUITAR pics in that small pocket! Hell at least I'm consistent you would think I could get some credit for at least being 100%

The usual:

Strap, set of strings, string winder, picks, any allen wrenches needed, #2 Phillips screwdriver and 9 volt batts if it's a guitar with active pups.

 

Anything beyond that is in my gig bag that has more of the above plus additional tools/supplies for guitar and amp repair.

As well as the holy Gorilla brand duct tape.

Speaking just about my Gibson USA case for my Les Paul:

 

the pick guard and hardware are still in there from never having installed it [biggrin]

 

truss rod tool

strings

string cutter/winder

Finger Ease

capo

small LED flashlight

picks

 

my leather strap is too big to fit in

 

since my case has that silk cover, I fold my cleaning cloth neatly and place it over the headstock to prevent the

cut-off string ends from tearing the silk
