Re: Pretty cool idea's & design
Big ball of meh from me... for me its a solution looking for a problem wrapped in a ugly wrapper."It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you." -Bon Scott

you better than any girlfriend, because it screams louder, it's easier to pick up, and it shuts up when you take your plug out." -Rip Glitter

..to each their own. Personally, while I have no gas whatsoever for this axe (mostly 'cause of the price tag ), I do think it's nice that there's bit of real innovation & some actual new ideas which have gone in there for a change that (somewhat) justify's the stiff price tag rather than the usual strat/superstrat/Les Paul rip-off with an exotic wood top/'hand-polished' frets & similar price tag."Less is less, more is more...how can less be more?" ~Yngwie J Malmsteen

Even this guitar only solves the issue to an extent, being you need the pups mounted in the connector ring, something they alluded to the factory having to do you will wind up with only 2 or 3 sets for that guitar. I'm sure more could be purchased, for even more money. That would be the height of inconvenient though, having to send a set of pups to switzerland and wait for them to be mounted and returned to me.
To me real innovation would be enhancing the players experience in a significant way. This is a minor convenience enhancement. Maybe for the guy who swaps pups constantly its a toy to play with but as a game changer its not."It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you." -Bon Scott

Re: Pretty cool idea's & design
Yeah, I get your point & yeah..it's not game-changing innovation, I'll grant you that, but at the same time it's nice to see a company trying any innovation at all, 'cause let's face it things have been pretty stagnant the last 20 years or so..
Overall it's a pretty radical way to put a guitar together as far as the design is concerned (in an age where even aesthetics don't change) & there's an added element of convenience...so yeah not earth shakingingly radical..but at least a breath of fresh air...

Re: Pretty cool idea's & design
If it leads to people re-designing parts of an electric guitar, I am all for it. At this point, there should be a lot more innovations going on in the industry- or even, if not true innovations, separating why we do things from tradition. There are lots of aspects of an electric guitar that could re re-examined these days.Administrator of the SDUGF
