Perhaps, a new travel guitar for newey?

It is worth watching to the end! Well, it tickled me at least.

Nah, I'm an analog kinda guy. But it is pretty cool. I know Korg makes (or at least they used to, not sure if they still make them or not)touch-screen controlled synths, and there are videos where people have mounted those onto guitars and integrated them in some fashion. But making the touch screen into the axe body itself is certainly fresh.

I liked the way he 'rocks out' towards the end. I came across quite a few interesting reuses of old electronic equipment into musical instruments last night. I might post a few more later.

Not even the same thing, but it reminded me of this thing:

Hi ashcatlt,

I've not come across Charlotte Moorman before. Thanks for the link. It lead me down a small rabbit hole. I can't say I cared for any of it, but nevertheless, interesting in an art history kind of way.





But the above did lead me to the following, which I will finish listening to later.



And more back on topic, the repurposing of three reel-to-reels. I think you will appreciate the following two videos, Ash.

If we're going down the "Not even the same thing, but it reminded me of this" path ...

reTrEaD,

That was fun to watch. It seems strange to see Frank Zappa on a show like that. But all good humoured stuff.
