This is showing up on all my regular reads lately, both guitar and tech/gizmo sites. This is the new Moog guitar. It feature some amazing technology that gives you the ability to either have unlimited sustain, or to mute the strings automatically, or a blend of the two. Thinking about the science of it, it's a guitar that has some very power pickups that I assume alter the magnetic field around the stings. So in essence you have an EBow built into your guitar, or the magnetic field is strong enough to stop the string from vibrating out (same as if you have your strings too close to the pick ups).

It's a brilliant piece of kit and you should check out the video above. Just a shame on the two drawbacks:

1. The price
2. the fact that to work properly it needs some special strings that are more easily manipulated by the pickups.

I'd love one though.
