At Yanda's Music and Pro Audio, we care about giving you a wide variety of instruments to choose from, and tailoring to just as wide of a range of general musician needs! Buying an instrument can be expensive - check out the listings below for our top 5 giftable guitars/basses/ukuleles that fit most budgets this Christmas!

1. The Fender FA-15 and FA-15N Acoustic Guitars

Some players are after a reduced size acoustic guitar with a smaller body, shorter neck, but something that still has a good volume and tone. Fender's FA series acoustic guitars offer 3/4 scale guitars to all levels of players, making great instruments for learning or advancing, home-office usage, traveling, parties, and camping! These instruments come with an included gig-bag, and are available in a steel or nylon string variety, depending on the type of player, interest, and general environments they will be used in. Grab one today starting at $149.99!

2. The Squier Sonic Series Electric Guitars

Electric guitarists are not left out from finding a place in their budget for their next instrument. Available in classic body styles like the Stratocaster, Telecaster, and Mustang, Squier by Fender has renewed their affordable lineup of guitars, with the Sonic series. These guitars offer the 'Fender-designed' sounds and stylings of the original instruments, while putting them in the hands of all levels of players at a more affordable price-point. These instruments are sold in a variety of configurations and colors, and start at $199.99!

3. The Fender CB-60SCE Bass Guitar

Finding the right sound does not always come packaged as a standard guitar. For players that find their vibe in the lower octaves, the Fender CB series bass guitar offers acoustic output and feel, while featuring a built in preamp and output jack, for when it is plugged into an amplifier! This is another instrument that is great for traveling, outdoor events, and home-office usage. This bass was designed with the modern player in mind, making it extremely comfortable with great tone for its price-point, starting at $329.99!

4. The Gretsch Deltoluxe Acoustic Guitars

Prepared for home players, traveling and gigging musicians, and even the most impromptu outings, Gretsch comes in strong with the Deltoluxe series of guitars. These guitars are part of Gretsch's Jim Dandy lineup, which call back to, in Gretsch's words: "everyone's first guitar". The Deltoluxe offers multiple size options, vintage looks, a clear sounding pickup placed right over the sound hole, and construction and durability that can take on any event. Choose between a dreadnought, concert, and parlor size, each starting at $279.99!

5. The Gretsch G9100-9120 Ukuleles

Not all stringed-instrument players base themselves on a form of guitar. The ukulele offers the smallest bodied instrument, presenting itself as a lightweight, simpler alternative to traditional guitar or bass. Using quality wood and offering multiple sizes, Gretsch offers the G9100, G9110, and G9120 models as a strong choice for entry level and intermediate players. These ukuleles are small enough for most occasions, and travel well in their included gig bags. These instruments are available to be ordered starting at $129.99!

I. Honorable Mentions

• The Fender CD-60 V3 with Hard Shell case offers three different color choices of a dreadnought sized acoustic guitar, all starting at $199.99!
• The Gretsch Jim Dandy guitars can also be purchased, and are available in two colors. If using an amplifier is not necessary, this model saves nearly $100 compared to the Deltoluxe, with a price point starting at $189.99!
