We admit we're a wee bit obsessed with our iPods, but even with thousands of downloads, we occasionally find ourselves in a jam.

When every song starts sounding the same (and that says a lot considering our eclectic tastes), we dream of composing our own little ditties.

Skeptics and snobs alike may doubt our dedication, but at least we have a rockin' response ready when they do: Kiss My Axe.

This line of customized guitar straps from actress/singer-songwriter Marla Sokoloff lets us strum the strings in style.

Adorned with Austrian crystals as well as colorful designs, they inject individuality into an oh-so-practical purchase. Feel feminine with butterflies and flowers, or reveal a darker side of your personality with skulls and crossbones.

No matter what you choose, you'll soon be in the groove to get started.

And that's music to our ears.
