Hi,
Another guitar just like all the others? (Just curious!)
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Hi,

It's a guitar that electronically 'models' many guitars, both electric and acoustic (6 and 12 string) as well as a banjo and sitar. And to boot it can just be a plain old electric guitar. It can also electronically make your guitar play in alternate tuning without actually changing the string tunings. I have one and it's very versatile.

I had the guts of one inside a custom guitar. I'd love another, especially one with all the acoustic models. Ok, one of each!

I have a Peavey AT200. Similar concept using autotune tech. They're fun, but alt tuneings can mess with your head if you don't have the amp turned up loud enough.

Thanks for the explanation in English ... I looked at it, and thought ... what's the difference? Only weird thing for me, is that the shape has to be the same as anything else ... weird to see an instrument look the same, and supposedly be different ... the idea itself is scary ... let's try a flute in aluminum, instead of steel, and then in iron ... think it will sound good? How about in wood? But electronic, yeah ... I can see it ... but I would have modeled it after a space science rocket by Warner Bros (Chuck Jones is the inspiration!), instead of another tired guitar look. Weird, but those Hofner's and Steinberger's don't sound bad in the hands of many folks ... because of their shape!

Yeah ... we're gonna give Shakespeare's plays a new identity now .... and we will not let Ian touch it!

I have one hanging on my wall. When I first bought it I really liked it. I think they make a great fill in for a guy who only has room for one or two guitars and wants to have all of the guitar sounds.
Since I took up Violin lessons and Bouzouki I haven't touched it much. I guess it's not really the instrument, just the way I'm using my time lately...so it just gathers dust and probably needs new strings.
The alternate tuning does take some getting used to.

I've been wanting one for sometime.......I think it'll serve me really well as I can't afford to buy all those guitars it does. I still won't give up playing the lotto.
