Quick Takes

At last, I can hang my guitars in the closet next to my Ray Wylie Hubbard and Keep Austin Weird T-shirts. It's called the Guitar Hanger, of course, and the trademarked motto is: "You may not like hanging around the house but your guitar does!" If you're not understanding the concept, here's a video.

The Guitar Hanger made the list of oddities to come out of January's big NAMM trade show, along with circular (or pointless, if you will) picks ...

The Opryland resort in Nashville should put Guitar Hangers in its closets as part of the hotel's new "Check In, Rock Out" service. For $50, visitors can lease a variety of guitars -- Gibsons, of course, since Gibson is based in Nashville -- such as an Angus Young SG or a Les Paul Goldtop. The guitars come with hand-held amps and headphones so as not to disturb other guests ...

Schecter has introduced this camouflage guitar but I wonder how effective it really is. Seems like even if your prey couldn't see you, they would still hear you. It would be nothing but a liability in a deer blind.

The Guitar hanger video is just great, You know I did not realise what was missing until now . . .

Oh and "cat throwing" - is this some new sport I have not heard about down here in New Zealand?
