Maybe if it didn't look so silly it'd be cool. It could not look any dorkier with that touchpad already on it.

Or perhaps I don't lack creativity, but I have so much that I can do whatever the f*ck I want with just those controls? Maybe I don't need to compensate for a lack in musicality with so much electrickery

Get off your high horse dude. The Kaosspad allows you to do things that are outside the possibilities of the guitar. Would you decry a guitarist for also playing keys live? Because I don't see the difference.

Re: This Might Be The Craziest Guitar I've Ever Seen
About Brian May: he agrees that it's a bit complicated,but not overly so. Just an on/off toggle for each and a phase. logical. neat. This guitar is just too much. I don't see the need for a Kaos pad within the musical structures I know, like and love. IMHO it's bad composition if you need to resort to those kinds of tricks. Playing keys and guitar live is a totally different thing: that's juggling two instruments. How can you even compare that with a Kaos Pad?!

Re: This Might Be The Craziest Guitar I've Ever Seen
Perhaps a digital piano wasn't the correct comparison - I meant a synthesizer/MIDI controller. If you can't see how you could utilize something like that attached to a guitar for instant access, you either play really boring music, lack creativity, or both. After having watched a few minutes of Kaoss pad demo videos, I can already think of plenty of ways to use it in my jam band, especially if I could switch back and forth between it and my guitar practically instantaneously.
And that's not even considering all of the triggering/loop playback options.

Dude, you're talking to a guy who's built the same guitar, like, 50 times.

Re: This Might Be The Craziest Guitar I've Ever Seen
I didn't know Dr. May and yourself are best buddies. Is he sitting right next to you? If so, could you ask him a few questions I have for him then?
For the time ('60s when the Red Special was made), 3 pickups each with an on/off switch, phase switch, and serial wiring scheme with a master volume and tone control was definitely ambitious, and more complex than the standard Les Paul/Strat/Tele/Esquire wirings. All of the possible combinations of the Red Special are still more than the usual options stock on guitars today. And if you want to count components, the Red Special has a total of 8 electrical components (not including the three pickups or jack). A standard Les Paul has 5 electrical components (not including pickups/jack); the Red Special without a doubt has more "electrickery".
Not to mention all of the STUDIO play Dr. May implemented - with so many interesting/creative sounds Queen had "no synthesizers were used" on the inside of their '70s albums. He must have lacked musicality by playing around with various pickup switching options, mic placement, amplifiers, tape delays, overdubs, phasers, vibrato arm usage, etc. Because he couldn't do all of that with just 2 or 3 pickups, 4 knobs, and maybe 1 or 2 switches.

Forget the guitar, that dude's shirt needs an instructional video. What the hell is going on there?
