I just lost my job; not a great time be be all GASsed up, but hey:

 

[BBN]

Very cool!

 

[laughyouraxeoff]

Pretty cool indeed, would like to see more Guitar innovations since I feel we are do some, been using for instance the same type of designs for as long as I can remember haha.

Beyond cool, but starting at $5k (up to $18k) is a little steep.

 

[klaushouz]

Cool idea. OK , lets crunch the numbers. Going to need 2, in case you break a string on stage = $ 11,600 (2 x cheapest models) + cases $1900 ($950 each)+ 100 shipping = $13,600 OR go all the way with the top o the line with robot tuners AND carbon fiber parts!!.... $ 39,800($19,900.00 x 2)+ cases $1900 ($950 each)+ $100 shipping = $37,800 with probably a 1 yr warranty. Just got to raise my CC limit to $40,000. OR Christmas is coming, Ho Ho Ho....

Wtf :shock

 

[NeoSound]

It seems a novelty since nothing they're doing really adds more function to the instrument.

 

[rickbarclay]

Too rich for my blood. But I'd pay to see Harvey Reid play it.

 

[Diego]

Nice but too expensive...

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Is there any technical reason why this is so insanely expensive? I don't think so.

 

[pima1234]

Exactly.

Like Mill Hill amps (look them up), except that this is a truly innovative product.

Is there any technical reason why this is so insanely expensive? I don't think so.

Nice idea but that price is crazy. Is the sound out of it worth that asking price?

Someone will do a similar thing for less than $1k.
