FENDER AMPERSTAND GUITAR CRADLE £12.99
Playing the guitar involves a lot of stuff. You've got your picks, maybe a capo or a slide. There are leads, Allen wrenches, too. You also need a place to put to rest your guitar, and that's another thing you need, right? A stand. The Amperstand is Fender's catch-all device that affixes to your amplifier - or a table - via micro-suction material allowing you to rest the guitar securely while not playing. There are grooves on the side to hold you cable in place, and even if this does make us really nervous at the thought of it, you could also use it as a place to rest your beverage. Just maybe not when using that hand-wired Princeton you borrowed off of Uncle Jim for the gig.
GRUV GEAR FRETWRAPS STRING MUTER £12.99
String dampening can be a contentious issue for players, because some just want the nut to be as bright as possible and want nothing to step on their tone. But it can be a Jedi shred move for those serious about their fretboard pyro sounding as clean as a whistle. What is playing rock guitar if not an exercise in muting? That's more than half the battle. You will have seen the likes of Jennifer Batten deploy dampeners at the nut, all to cut down on unwanted string noise and these from Gruv Gear are a cheap and effective way to clean up your shred game.
