The fact that when folded up, this guitar stand will fit in your guitar case behind the neck of the guitar is enough to make it a winning design in my book.
It does kind of remind me of Dar's Glaive though.
This might be useful if you're playing a gig in an out-of-the-way Mexican bar and things turn supernatural.
The Spider Capo allows you to selectively capo each string on your guitar. This should be all sorts of fun if you like experimenting with open tunings.

The second little pig built his picks out of wood, which fared much better than the little pig who made his picks out of straw.
The products from ZVEX tend to walk that fine line between genius and insanity. I expect that this amp prototype will end up treading that same line and end up somewhere outside of normal yet short of madness.

This looks as if it could have been cobbled together in a subterranean prison cell by the brilliant son of Jim Marshall, who had been kidnapped by guiterrorists intent on ruling the world.

If you're doing a gig in a sketchy club or have less-than-trustworthy roommates, you might want to pick up one of these guitar locks. You're pretty well out of luck if you've got a Steinberger guitar though.
I'm assuming that their locks are not vulnerable to the bic pen exploit.
Unless this barrel-shaped amp also contains whiskey, I think most guitar players would pass.

Stage Ninja was showing a couple new utilitarian devices.
The Guitar Case Roadie is a simple handle that allows you to carry two guitars in one hand by hanging one handle on each side.

Will these belt buckles cause you to fret about your pants falling down?
