This may be the coolest guitar tech I’ve ever seen. First post hope I did it right. Like holy damn, magnets, this looks like future tech.
Ok that’s fucking awesome! I can already see a black version with sound reactive LEDs that would look sick with a fog machine! 🤘
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, yes, this art is nice, but you know what it needs? Lights
Not /s
Oh shit, not only rgb, but lights that change with the frequency, tied into the magnetics to change colour’s as its played.
Map the physical area to a scale. Map the scale to the rainbow. Make chords a 2D representation of sound space. Make palm mutes drain the color. Make squealies vibrate the array. GIVE ME THE MUSIC VISUALIZER IN MY HANDS (and a blunt)
Rgb everywhere. Bring it on.
Incorrect.
It needs lasers.
Electroboom Guitar.
Does it scale to other instruments? Violin? Piano? Ukulele? LOL.
I was imagining that setup with any stringed instrument that traditionally uses catgut or nylon. “Loaded gun” doesn’t begin to describe that. 😄
Its a video so tough to quickly scan so I didn’t watch it. To keep the block in that plane, I think that needs the forces to be to magnets pulling towards each other at the back and that seems like it would make the tuning hard since tightening / loosening each string moves and rotates the block holding the strings. Did they say much about that?
95% of the video was about how hard tuning was. So yah its hard.
Yup. Tuning seemed to be a right PITA.
Unfortunately it needs a safety cage around the bottom end. That’d probably spoiling the visuals - though clear acrylic might work.
The tuning was the the other huge issue, he didn’t actually say how long it took to get in tune tune, nor how long it held tune.
cool though

Only if you’re a scared little bitch /s
This guy looked at a Floyd rose and said… Amateur. Hold my beer.
Fun and dangerous experiment but of course not feasible in the long run.
I mean, what if you stabilized it even more by adding magnets on the side. The frontier is often the most dangerous. What if this is just the beginning of a new format?
