In case anyone was wondering what to get me for Christmas or my nex' birfday...
http://www.moogmusic.com/moogguitar/?section=product&product_id=21130 ...only $6,495... Leave it to Moog to reinvent the guitar. Not only do the new Moog axe's pickups sense string vibrations, they can also create them...or sustain them...or damp them. Click the "Youtube" tab on the linked page to hear some demos. Good thing I don't have any kids, the firstborn might be in trouble.

Yep, guess I'll have to start one.On initial glance, I thought it was just another synth guitar, especially to be coming from Moog. Not that those aren't cool in their own right, but they're just so many on-board stomp boxes/effects to reprocess the output. Nothing really new as far as the instrument goes. Not so in this case, the whole tactile feedback and the method of playing the instrument has changed... in a big way. This might be one of those things that would be easier to learn... than to relearn. After a lifetime of feeling the strings respond only to your touch and decay away naturally, I expect the feel of this baby might be rather unnerving. Funny, I've long known that a strong pickup adjusted too close to the strings had a damping effect on them, why I never took that to the next logical step is just, well, I guess, my loss.
