Which pick should you choose for an electric guitar?

Pick thickness affects both your sound and the way playing feels. Light picks flex and suit strumming chords, medium picks are versatile, and heavy or extra heavy picks give you a precise attack for solos, riffs and fast playing. If you are not sure which thickness feels right, try a set of different picks and choose whichever feels comfortable in your hand. You can find the full range in the Guitar Picks category.

Which cable and stand does an electric guitar need?

An electric guitar connects to an amplifier or effects using an instrument cable with 6.3 mm jack connectors. A 3 m cable is usually enough for home use and rehearsals, while 4.5 to 6 m is suitable for the stage. An angled connector saves space at the guitar and on the pedalboard. A guitar placed on an A-frame stand, a tripod stand or a wall hanger will not tip over and stays within easy reach. You can find more cables in the Instrument Cables category.

How do you care for your electric guitar's strings and fretboard?

A string cleaner removes sweat and dirt after playing, so your strings keep sounding fresh for longer and corrode less. Oils and cleaning products are made for the fretboard, while polishes and cloths are used on the body's lacquer finish. Tools such as truss rod wrenches, fret files and gauges help you adjust the string height and intonation at home. A string dampener mutes open strings when recording and tapping.
