it has all these possibilities no other guitar has had before.... wtf i can plug in a bullshit digitech effect and make my guitar sound like shit no problem
This is a piece of shit. I've tried it out. I stick to my Roland GR-500/GS-500. A true analog synth, its polyensemble performs flawlessly even playing fast, and it sustains forever. Want effects? Just add any Eventide pedal.
How do you just play a guitar, what a wast, make a guitar not a key boad with strings. I can make mat Tele sound like a space ship. i am a guitar player not a space man yet!
Have yet to see one video where I hear someone play something I would actually want to listen to. It might be fun to play, but it is hell on the ears.
For all the work they put into the guitar, they chose the most out of tune, uninspired unmemorable playing possible. I was interested in the guitar UNTIL I saw their demo videos. Pretty funny. I think the excitement of playing the guitar is in no way equaled on the audience end.
Seems kinda gimicky. It could probably produce some amazing sounds, but I wanted to hear some distortion on these guitars. Don't get me wrong, the technology in those Moog guitars is very impressive. The idea of being able to sustain certain strings is cool. But I want them to show us that these guitars are good with other things like clean tones and distortion.
you're missing the point! This guitar does the impossible by allowing you to sustain ONLY the notes that you are playing while muting the rest of the guitar.
This is what comes out if you are a holding a musical instrument in your hands ands and talking a million words on it - instead of playing just a simple melody to show what the instrument actually does!
where do they say that? they may be refering to positive feedback loops, and since the dimension in question is energy, if thats the case, it wouldnt be a hippie-ism, but rather a technical description
where do they say that? they may be refering to positive feedback loops, where the energy is continuously supplied, or added, from the inner circuitry,and since the dimension in question is energy, if thats the case, it wouldnt be a hippie-ism, but rather a technical description

I think this thing would be awesome if people actually used it for something musical. All I've seen of this thing is people just slapping away on it and raving about the sustain.
@Philipperodrigues OH YUEA SORRY YOU MISUNDERSTOOD SOME FUCKED U2 DELAY FOR HARM AND SELF OSCILLATION FUCKIN SCRUB GET LOST FAIL TOTEM AHAAHHH FUCKIN OWNED MAN
@Philipperodrigues AND NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOURE A FUCKIN RETARD TRYING TO SLAM MOOG GUITARS THAT ARE CLEARLY FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSE NOT SOME FUCKIN LEAD SHIT YOU FUCKIN STUPID SCRUB TRYING TO SAY A FUCKIN DEMO IS TRYING TO SOUND LIKE U2 DELAY YOU STUPID FUCK ITS DEMOING HARMONICS POLY AND SELF OSC NO SHIT ITS GONNA SOUND LIKE A RACK FULL OF GEAR FUCKIN DUMB SHIT
What? i just said that the guy looked like Bono, i never even mention the guitar wich i think is a great innovation. Get a life man.I didn't insult anybody, and certainly not you.
@Philipperodrigues WHAT BECAUSE HE HAS CLEAR TINT GLASSES HAHHAHHA YE OKAY GET THE FUCK OUT BRO MEET SOME MORE QUINKS GET A DAMN LIFE HAHAHHA LATER BRO AHHAHA PON PON OK OK
can it work like a regular guitar? because those effects and tools are really cool and will really let you show your creative side but damn it i like power chords too
yeah, well infinite sustain with an envelope filter....wow!....This thing is gonna crash and burn. Godin did this years ago and any bedroom guitarist with an E-bow or a decent compressor stomp box will be wondering why these guys are creaming their jeans over this thing
Cool but scary for people like me who can never afford it but still want to remain on the cutting edge of guitar technology...and don't want to be outdone by some sucky guitarist with amazing effects. Still though, pretty amazing. They should send one to John Petrucci.
@whisperingmusic lol yea good point, I guess I meant because most classic rock guys or jazz purists hate new shit, you know? But yea I can see Page being all over this had it been around at that time...
@coneheadbill yeah exactly my point good to see you agree. i dont think your a real music at heart if your not open minded. im a classical head into dance electro music who djs hip hop and is in a rock band MUSICAL SLUT. just installed a matt bellamy style kaoss pad to me guitar and wanna incorporate the korg kp3 electronica style music into rock music.
Almot endless possibilities for guitar players, atleast real guitar players. The only problem I have with it is the price. Besides that, I'd love to get one.
Because it can also put the same energy into MUTING a string, as well as sustaining the note. No other guitar has been able to do that, and I think it's a rather amazing innovation. Also, it can select what harmonics AND notes to either mute or boost, which brings it to a new level.
There isn't much you can do with this guitar. it's neat and all, but it hardly has the soul, tone, and vibe of a real guitar in the hands of a great musician. The player gives the "energy" to the guitar. Not the guitar gives off energy.

Many people did not readily accept the invention of pull tabs on tin cans either. This is great. It's not replacing anything, just adding more possibilities.
idk it kinda makes the guitar sound too much like a synthisyer (forgive my terrible spelling) it's a good idea with the control because sustain would give you a amazing bass while also allowing you to do a lead. Maybe if they gave me an example of this guitar played with a little distortion i would have a better opionon.
hm. i bet there would be people, like the beatles (someone commented on this earlier), that would have fun with it, make some crazy sounds with it and make it useful. im getting lost when using more than chorus, wah, delay and drive with my guitar, so i guess it's not an instrument for me :D the KISS rule doesn't apply here, but it's not intended for the people who really like it simple.
what do you mean?... if there's a more versatile way for guitarrists to voice what music they want to make, bring it... not all guitarrist can play keyboards, but if this helps reach a somewhat similar state of playing, then you'll have lots of happy guitarrists out there... music comes from the mind of the musician, but it can be limited by the instrument, so this opens the minds of alot of creative potencial... it sure got me dreaming of what music i could make with this... take care, bye
Does anybody know if you can use the neck pickup on this guitar? or are the neck coils used to create the magnetic field, as in the fernandez sustainer system?
At 2:53 when he starts talking about the harmonics, I believe he changes the pickup switch back and forth to get the different variations...which would indicate that yes, the neck pickup is functional.
Ok can anyone tell me anything about the tune he plays at 6:10? I love it and I have no idea why. I just like the sound I guess. Is it an actual song? Or did the guy make it up himself? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but nevertheless, I would REALLY like to know if any of you guys know! Thanks in advance!
it´s really going to expand the vocabulary of what guitars are able to do - CERTAINLY NOT!
it´s really another great example for a useless toy that can do one thing: not sound like a guitar.

hm. i bet there would be people, like the beatles (someone commented on this earlier), that would have fun with it, make some crazy sounds with it and make it useful. im getting lost when using more than chorus, wah, delay and drive with my guitar, so i guess it's not an instrument for me :D the KISS rule doesn't apply here, but it's not intended for the people who really like it simple.

what do you mean?... if there's a more versatile way for guitarrists to voice what music they want to make, bring it... not all guitarrist can play keyboards, but if this helps reach a somewhat similar state of playing, then you'll have lots of happy guitarrists out there... music comes from the mind of the musician, but it can be limited by the instrument, so this opens the minds of alot of creative potencial... it sure got me dreaming of what music i could make with this... take care, bye

Does anybody know if you can use the neck pickup on this guitar? or are the neck coils used to create the magnetic field, as in the fernandez sustainer system?

At 2:53 when he starts talking about the harmonics, I believe he changes the pickup switch back and forth to get the different variations...which would indicate that yes, the neck pickup is functional.

Ok can anyone tell me anything about the tune he plays at 6:10? I love it and I have no idea why. I just like the sound I guess. Is it an actual song? Or did the guy make it up himself? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but nevertheless, I would REALLY like to know if any of you guys know! Thanks in advance!
