upon closer look this guitar would either have to have intonation or sound issues....being that the bridge IS the pickup, you would have to position the it in an ideal spot to have a good sound....and id bet a hundred dollars that that spot doesnt line the intonation up. i dunno i could be completely wrong, but just saying what i see
@dreamwever87 Sence this guitar also relies on the computer, all you would need the pickup for is to get what notes you're playing. Then from you computer you could get any tone/effect you would want or need.
The only problem I see with the guitar is that it's ugly as fuck! Not to mention that it looks heavy. So for me it doesn't seem all too practical. But I would like one, if they fix those two problems.
what's with the Bellamy comments? This wouldn't work for him; Muse's live shows are way too bright and huge for it to really be visually effective. Steven Wilson on the other hand seems tailor-made for the guitar cos Porcupine Tree gig are usually darker and more intimate.
that video screen is kinda useless over there, the hand will be in the middle of it, not much to see, and those visuals arent a big thing, just some fractals like those from winamp. but the motion sensor it's a very great idea.
Awesome, Ben, you totally rock. The accelerometer wah-wah is definitely neat-o. you gotta make sure that thing makes the rounds at Vulcan parties. ^_^

You'd think a guitar with screen on it would look futuristic, but this one looks really antiquated for some reason.
