    Shred Like a Geek: Recycled Circuit Board Guitar Picks

    These recycled circuit board guitar picks aren't cheap, as far as picks go, but if you're serious about your alt-rock IT garage band's image they may be a necessity. Just don't go tossing them willy-nilly to your screaming fan. More »

    Something Not Quite Right About Limited Edition Fender MyTouch 3G

    I am as much a fan of the silky Strat as the next person raised on classic rock—especially Mark Knopfler's modified one—but this Fender finish on the MyTouch 3G Android phone doesn't seem very rock 'n' roll. More »

    Manson MB-1 Guitar Has an Integrated, Touch-Controlled, X-Y MIDI Pad for Effects

    Guitars are fun. X-Y MIDI controlers, like the Korg KAOSS Pad, are also fun. So in theory, combining the two, like this Manson MB-1 Guitar does, makes this thing twice as fun. More »

    Blackbird Rider Nylon Guitar Actually Carbon-Fiber and Nearly Indestructible

    Blackbird's Rider Nylon guitar is actually not made of nylon—ok its strings are—but instead it's far more highly-tech'd and its body and neck are actually carbon fiber. It may not be bullet-proof, but Blackbird says its "nearly indestructible," making it perfect as a travel guitar. The material has meant a few design tweaks over a traditional shape: it's far squarer, and the sound holes are now a single hole moved up to the neck, and dubbed a "soundscoop" instead—apparently this makes for a better sound response. The other side-effect is that it's light enough at 3-pounds to fit into an aircraft overhead locker. High-tech costs though—the nylon string model is $1,900, a smaller steel-stringed version is $1,600. [Product via GadgetLab]

    10 Ways to Ditch Guitar Hero and Score With Real Groupies

    So, Guitar Hero: World Tour is set to drop on the 26th. That is all well and good if you are a fan, but the last time I checked, record labels were not handing out millions of dollars to Guitar Hero virtuosos so they could tour the world and score with groupies. The only way that is going to happen is if you learn how to play a real instrument and get yourself on stage. That is where the following gadgets can help.
