Mooguitar

Bob Moog's synthesizers and effects were revolutionary, and now his company has designes on the guitar world.

The Moog Guitar Paul Vo Edition has infinite sustain and a bunch of other supercool features that make this a must have for serious musicians. The secret? The strings that have "a specific metallurgy designed to work with the Moog pickups". Hmmm, not too clear on what that means...but soon everybody may be able to sound like Robert Fripp or Adrian Belew.

There are several modes on the guitar to give the player a wide variety of tonal options:

FULL SUSTAIN MODE - like no other sustainer; infinite sustain on every string, at every fret position and at any volume. You may have heard sustain before but not with this power (we call it "Vo Power") and clarity.

CONTROLLED SUSTAIN MODE - allows you to play sustained single or polyphonic lines without muting technique. The Moog Guitar sustains the notes you are playing while actively muting the strings you are not playing.

MUTE MODE - removes energy from the strings, resulting in a variety of staccato articulations. The mute mode has never been heard on any other guitar; the Vo Power stops the strings with the same intensity that it sustains them. You feel the instrument transform in your hands.

HARMONIC BLENDS – use the included foot pedal to shift the positive energy of Vo Power in Sustain mode and the subtractive force of Vo Power in Mute mode between the bridge and neck pick-ups to pull both subtle and dramatic harmonics from the strings.

MOOG FILTER - control the frequency of the built-in, resonant Moog ladder filter using the foot pedal or a CV Input.

The guitars are not yet in production, but are scheduled to ship in September. Have $7000 handy for one.
