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.
And that’s the closest I’ve seen someone come to serious injury due to incompetence in a while
Well you’ve never seen me in daily life then. Checkmate dude.
It wasn’t incompetence though. He knew the risks.
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
Rgb everywhere. Bring it on.
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)
Incorrect.
It needs lasers.
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. 😄
Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.
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?
