Michigan-Made “Guitar Grips” Make Great Gifts for Musicians
Plymouth-based Grip Studios’ Custom Guitar Hangers Available Nationally
Searching for a sensational holiday gift for the discerning musician in your life?
Look no further than Grip Studios’ custom guitar hangers.
The Plymouth, Michigan based company produces eye-catching, wall mountable grips shaped like human hands, crafted to hold a guitar, bass, banjo or mandolin. Each Guitar Grip is made of durable resin and hand painted. With designs that include the “Grip Reaper” (skeleton hand), “Lumpy Stump” (a hand resembling a tree stump), “Torch Tip” (flamed fingers), “Undead Fred” (Zombie hand) and more – there’s a guitar hanger to please all tastes!
Grip Studios’ custom guitar hangars retail for around $39 and were recently spotlighted nationally in Musician’s Friend catalog. These popular guitar accessories are also available through Amazon.com and in hundreds of retail outlets in the U.S. Custom painted guitar hangars, including hand-carved and one-of-a-kind artist series are also available for $39-$90 on the Grip Studios’ web site at www.guitargrip.com
Grip Studios had a modest beginning in 2007. Company founder Mike Ryan along with his parents Dale and Sylvia hatched the first guitar grip from the kitchen table in a small apartment in Plymouth, Michigan. Since then (and with the help of his family – Mike’s sister and grandmother all have roles in the company) - Grip Studios’ custom guitar hangers have secured international distribution, and they now regularly ship product to 13 countries.
In 2011 the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) named Grip Studios’ Custom Guitar Hangars “Hottest New Product to Stock in LA!” Counting Velvet Revolver (and former Guns N Roses) bassist Duff McKagan among fans of Grip Studios’ custom guitar hangers, this homegrown company may soon be a household name among musicians worldwide.
