Etsy seller TTGuitars is selling Skyrim-inspired Mandolins (electric guitars and basses can also be requested) that are made to order with a turnaround time of 2-3 months.

This is a unique OOAK hand-carved Skyrim The Elder Scrolls Dragon Mandolin in a Beautiful Metallic flecked Silvery Green finish. I created it to have hand carved wings, along with a copper-inlaid head in the neck piece and a pickup. This mandolin is a wonderful conversational piece and plays beautifully!

This is geek girl Joanne Ryan. She says she doesn’t want to be a singer and that she’s just a nerd with a guitar. She also plays the ukelele and takes French.

I’d like to throw my vote in for her deciding to sing full time because she has a kick ass voice and I think this acoustic Darkwing Duck cover would sell a ton on iTunes.

Any guitar player who uses effects pedals understands what a pain in the ass it is when you have to interrupt practice, or stop completely because of dead batteries. Thankfully, Sanyo developed an interesting device called Pedal Juice to help eliminate this problem.

Pedal Juice is a rechargeable 9V power supply that not only powers your pedals, but can also be used on multi-effects units and portable recorders, providing up to 50 hours of “quiet, clean stable power”. The device is also water and shock resistant, and eliminates AC ground loops to create a loud, clear tone.

I’ve seen a Millenium Falcon bass guitar before, but this is probably one of a handful of (if not the only) functional Millennium Falcon guitars in existence. And the guy that put it together offered Urlesque a brief explanation about how the guitar was made.

Even if you don’t play guitar, you can still put the legendary Boss DS-1 distortion pedal to good use surfing the web with this brilliant USB mouse by Roland UK.  This version lacks the obligatory input and output jacks for instrument cables and also has a thinner shape than the standard DS-1. The “Tone” and “Dist” knobs act as the buttons for the mouse and a scroll wheel has been built into the side. However, the limited run sold out in record time and have yet to reappear on Roland’s webstore.

UK-based Orange Amps has officially kicked off their new PC division with the OPC amp/computer hybrid. But is this really a good idea?

Thanks to Nemo Gould’s sea monster sculpture, you can develop a whole new fear of acoustic guitars that doesn’t revolve around hippies singing Kumbaya around a camp fire. However, this could also spread to phobias of rocking chair parts, chair arms, salad bowls, beads, light fixtures, brass screws and aluminum. They all play a part in Acoustapus.

With a release date of January 30, this handmade Ezison 100 will allow you to transform your iPhone into an electric guitar (of sorts).  The details are sketchy, especially since I couldn’t access the product page, but apparently this thing works by placing your iPhone in the housing and plugging it into the built in speaker using the headphone jack. Then you can load up a guitar app and uncool your surroundings with air guitar style rock.

All you have to do to add a little music to your car is to get this guitar (or maybe it’s a violin?). It is no different than other MP3 FM players, but the need to tune it just seems more natural when applied to a musical instrument.
