Video: One instrument, with multiple sounds

A new guitar will allow wannabe rockstars to take on the sound of almost any guitar, without a collection of many instruments.

Swapping part of the soundboard changes the acoustics, while a computer inside the instrument tunes the sound. This completes the audio transformation and allows the guitar to mimic the sound of a completely different instrument.

Dr Shock is a musical omnivore, he especially loves the sound of a guitar, from Jimi Hendrix to Spanish Classical Guitars.

Thanks Gear Live and NewScientist

  1. Brilliant, though not totally new. Line 6 makes things like this guitar. http://bx.line6.com/products/instruments/

    And then there is the question: will guitarists settle for this? (everybody still being all over tubes for amps and stuff) When you want conservative, you need guitarists.
