Thanks for all the terrific feedback, no further photos yet but the Floorstand boffins have been working on your suggestions and I hope to have some photos of the latest prototypes tomorrow.
Look out for the PlectraStand Deluxe and the PlêktraStänd!

Look out for the PlêktraStänd! Pretty sure Ikea have already nicked that one for a futon/wastepaper basket/shelving unit combi... and if they haven't yet, they soon will!

But what about the southpaws? Where is the left handed model? What would Jimi do?

Turn it up to 11 and then set fire to it?

If you shipped them in a tubular bag you'd sell a lot of replacements.

Brilliant! Unfortunately I don't use plecs. Would it be worth waiting for a thumbpick version ? And fingerpicks. There's obviously potential for a whole range here.

Great product! A tip for your R&D team, make it flat pack to save on delivery costs!

Any chance of a supporting product range, like polish and lubricant?

I suspect Bernd would want one in gold if he ever started using a plectrum Depends. If the guitar has gold tuners and a gold strap button, I'd give a gold stand a try

I'm a bit insulted that I wasn't asked to be a celebrity endorser, seeing as I am an award-winning-BBC-performing radio star. I may need to set up a rival company selling my own design, which will be exactly like yours but with a little crystal or ribbon or something glued on to make it a much superior product and impossible to sue me for copyright issues.

I am humbled and slightly overwhelmed by the supportive feedback received so far, especially the suggestions for future improvements. I have again passed these to the Floorstand boffins and we shall see up with what they come. I have been thinking how to repay you guys for all your suggestions, and have decided to send everyone a free PlectraStand as a token of my appreciation! If you can each just paypal me £29.95 to cover the postage and packaging, your complimentary PlectraStands will be with you by C*******s (or possibly some time after). Meanwhile, exclusively unveiled on acousticsoundboard, here is the first photo of the PlectraStand Deluxe!!: This is the standard PlectraStand design, but (a) in a lovely red colour (I think it was Keith suggested a range of different colours, will this do?) and (b) featuring the new "EezeeKarree"™ Strap (and it was Rodders that expressed concerned about transporting the stand). I'm very pleased with the new Strap design, it makes it easy to attach to your finger, ear or any other appendage. If you're very careful, it also solves the aforementioned stability/toppling issues; though it can also make them a lot worse. Here's another photo of the Deluxe stand, this time holding one of my ChickenPicks (the 2.2mm "Light"):

BTW the PlêktraStänd is just a PlectraStand Deluxe, but with all-black stand and EezeeKarree™ Strap. It will hopefully appeal to goth/death metal types.

Hmmmmmm. There's a marked resemblance to the Hartley Gay Twin trout fly-tying hook. You may have patent issues.

Oh crap! I had no idea that fly-tying was a popular pastime among gay twins! Am talking to my lawyers now.
