I stumbled across this while looking for something else and thought I'd share:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/mp3/8c43/

From the site:

We know that USB is perfect for Evil Robot Snowmen, USB Thumbdrives and of course the George Foreman iGrill... but were you aware that USB can ROCK! with a screaming speed-metal guitar solo? Neither did we, that is until we got our hands on this amazing iAXE USB powered electric guitar. Simply plug the iAXE into any available USB port, jack in some headphones and commence to rock using the included software which simulates different amps and effect pedals. The iAXE is a full size professional guitar so having some guitar playing skillz might help. [Overused joke about volume going to 11 omitted]

Oh, and I forgot to mention the Electric Guitar Jam Lab:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/mp3/7d86/

From the site:

JamLab turns your PC or Mac into a personal guitar system without the need for any other hardware except your favorite guitar. Perfect for wailing guitar solos... the compact JamLab interface connects easily to your computer or laptop via USB, and features a 1/4” input for your guitar and 1/8” headphone/line output. Simply plug in your axe, don your headphones and start jamming on some power chords without waking up the neighborhood.

You won't need any extra guitar effects pedals since the GT Player Express software features amp simulation and virtual effects boxes for EQ, chorus, reverb and more. GT Player Express can also play standard audio files, and can even slow them down—perfect for practicing and easy learning. You also get WAV drum loops from our popular ProSessions Sound and Loops Library. Load them into GT Player Express in any order for an instant custom drum machine to jam with. Drum songs are also provided as MP3 files. JamLab is ideal for traveling, limited space, and keeping both your budget and the neighbors happy.

While I despise the overuse of iAnything, I'm surprised no one commented on the iAXE.

I suppose it is a good thing, but technology is constantly inproving at such a rate, that even before you buy a product, it's obsolete. Kind of makes you feel overwhelmed...
