SmallStage LLC and AP International Music Supply Launch The CableCup Family of Products

SmallStage LLC, the innovative music accessory developer, and AP International, global leader in music industry manufacturing and distribution, are thrilled to announce the new CableCup family of products.

This exciting new product line pioneers the combination of a pick tray and cable rest in a unique design that uses microsuction technology consisting of miniature air pockets to adhere securely to an amp or tabletop, allowing for simple removal without leaving any residue behind. Comprised of lightweight, flexible silicone, CableCup products are washable and reusable ensuring a lifetime of usage.

Featuring a ½” deep cup area, the Cable Cup provides ample room for your picks, slide, and other small playing accessories, ensuring that they stay organized and within easy reach. The notched cable rests guarantee hassle-free cable management, eliminating the need to fumble around for cable ends during practices, studio sessions, or performances.

“The CableCup is a solution that guitar and bass playing musicians didn’t know they needed.  It’s hard to go back to NOT using one once you’ve tried it. We see our test team using them on multiple amps.” said Steve Skillings, inventor of the CableCup. “It’s a place for your picks, a clip for your cable, and even a holder for your frosty beverage. It’s so simple, yet useful – it’s just one  of those inventions that makes you wonder why it didn’t exist before.”

AP International president Andy Papiccio said, “Partnering with SmallStage is all about bringing practicality and fun together for musicians. Like the HexHider (magnetic hex wrench), CableCup does both. It’s a great gift idea at the perfect price point.”

The CableCup family of products comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, including officially licensed Fender® Stratocaster® and Telecaster® headstock shapes, Stratocaster® and Telecaster® body shapes, and a classic pick shape design. The five initial designs will be available in September, 2023, providing a fun and useful lifestyle accessory in time for the holiday season.  Interested dealers are requested to email sales@apintl.com to set up an account at AP International Music Supply in the meantime.
