Guitar Accessories – Art Meets Function
Guitar accessories serve two purposes. First and foremost, they are practical. They assist in holding, playing and storing the guitar. Secondly, they are a great way for artists to display their musical style and personality. They include picks and slides, cases and bags, straps and stands. Picks and slides are both used on the strings of the guitar to create a specific tone or effect. Stands are used to store and display the guitar when not in use. When being carried or shipped, gig bags and cases serve as protection against possible damage. They come in many sizes, shapes, and protection levels.
Gig bags are soft-sided, frequently made from vinyl or luggage quality, ballistic nylon with reinforced seams. They have interior padding, accessory pockets and adjustable shoulder straps. Cases have hard shells, usually made from molded plastic or laminated wood. Practical for almost any budget, these guitar accessories can begin as low as $15. Possible upgrades include thicker, denser interior padding, double shoulder straps, and metal hardware. Screen-printed and airbrushed designs are also available on some bags and cases. They both are designed to fit specific size or types of guitars, so make sure you check it before you buy it.
For artists looking for guitar accessories that allow them to express their individuality, there is a guitar strap to meet their needs. Guitar straps come in a variety of sizes, materials and styles. Beginners may need a basic model that will help them hold and balance the instrument. Polypropylene straps have flexibility and durability. Several models have storage pouches for spare picks, or strings. Advanced players may decide that hand tooled leather, plush suede, and hammered buckles make the style statement that best suits them. From $10 to hundreds of dollars, guitar straps are available to fit any budget.
Guitar accessories can be strictly practical, used to bring specific character, depth and tone to the notes when played. They can protect the instrument from damage. However, they can also be fun and interesting, featuring hand-made detailing and cutting-edge technology, reflecting the passion and personality of the musician. High quality materials, custom details, and unique options are available at Copperpeace. They have been created with the performer in mind.
Whether you are interested in making a purchase for yourself, or as a gift for your favorite artist, it is prudent to turn to Copperpeace to find the perfect blend of fashion and quality.

On an Island $8.99 David Gilmour’s solo career hasn’t exactly been creatively restless; this is but the third album by the Pink Floyd guitarist, and first in 18 years. But that seemingly lackadaisical career ethos hasn’t prevented Gilmour from producing some of his finest work here, an album whose soaring, lyrical guitar lines will be familiar to Floyd fans, yet one also blessed by often surprising nuances and del… |

Nouveau Flamenco $4.50 Ottmar Liebert’s most famous, if not most accomplished, effort gave a new genre its title, the New Age market a new champion, and flamenco purists–like Paco de Lucia, who despite a thank-you on the album, has called Liebert’s music “worthless”–a new punching bag. All of which is a little beside the point; Liebert’s rhythms may not be complex compas, but he perfectly captures the laid-back, open-… |
