Hot Rod Straps Buckle up and play your guitar. These guitar straps are available in several models: Cadillac, Chevrolet, Corvette and a guitar logo. These straps will not only outlive your guitar, they'll probably outlive you. They're made from 6000 pound tensile seatbelt webbing. Psychobilly Products, LLC |
Danelectro Continuing on our car theme, Danelectro has improved on the car-shaped guitar effects that they introduced last year. Now they've got several new models that sport different paint jobs. The effects are really quite cool, one of them is a reverse tape effect and another is a whammy pedal. Danelectro |
Berkeley Cases We don't want the horn section to miss out on the custom car vibe. These metalflake cases look to be extremely well built too. Berkeley Cases |
Wiggy OK, this retro fifties thing has gone way too far. Now we've even got Peavey in the act with this dashboard guitar amp head. I don't know what they're for but it's even got a turn signal. The cabinet looks very Ren & Stimpy with the trapezoidal grill cut out. Peavey Electronics Corporation |
Hiwatt Custom Tape Echo Finally a retro device whose packaging is not over the top. This is an honest to god tape echo unit as you can see through the clear lid. You can even control the tape speed with and expression pedal. Hiwatt Amplification |
Grip Picks As you can see this is a contoured pick designed to give you more control and to make it harder to drop. Grip Picks |
Turbo Lid Replace the cover of your harmonica with a turbo lid. It gives you a smoother surface to blow against and a little mellower tone. It comes in a variety of colors, all translucent. Antakamatics, Inc. |
Flat Boy What you see here is a flat, lightweight piece of plastic that attaches to your guitars strap lock. When you are done playing you simply set down your guitar on a flat surface and it stands by itself. Viva |
Quickstand Another entry in the built-in guitar stand category is the Quickstand. This will work with both acoustic and electric guitars and when not in use will fold up against the body of the guitar. Miller/Kellogg, Inc. |
Clark Tactile Sound Monitors This is a great alternative to having a big wedge putting out 120db of low frequencies that reek all sorts of havoc with the open mics. You mount a speaker in your stool (or drum throne) that only go to about 800hz. You can feel the bass without everyone having to hear it too. Clark makes a number of models for various applications.
