i'm not sure if that is next level genius or next level insanity ... it seems amazingly clever but kind of pointless?? Not sure why you would bother with fancy wood tops with all those switches and shit hahaha

A solution looking for a problem. I remember the MEG guitars in the 90's you could swap any body you wanted to onto what amounted to a through neck. The different body I think could offer different control arrangements. It was mostly pointless but they were nice guitars.

I modded a guitar body so I could clip on "wings" to change the shape of the guitar in the early 2000's. It had the centre neck thru and then recess bolts either side of the centre piece .. works well but the reality was I had 3 different "body style" cut outs but pretty much never changed them in and out ... owning more guitars is just more fun haha .... never took any photos of it sadly and eventually I ended up just gluing the wings on of the shape I liked best (Rhoads V) and threw the rest away

Kudos to them for trying to innovate.

I agree, the built in "pedals" and pickup swapper is dumb. Seymour Duncan has a pickup swapper thing and do you know anyone who actually uses it?

I think they went way too hard in on this But I do have to say as someone who's first guitar was a Floyd and 30 years later....The strings to removable nut concept is legendary and I fucking want that

I have an RKS guitar; it has a central guitar with a removable plastic body; you can get other shapes, colors etc. but the idea didn't catch on; it's still a solid dual humbucker hardtail guitar.

Relish guitars comes to mind.

Didn't work out too well for them.

Here's a MEG. He had a really sweet fully radiused V body with brass tips and a skeletonized SG as well IIRC.

Yeah I saw all of these and thought they were kinda crazy looking.

Overkill 2.0.

At the same time, the prices aren't as wild as I thought they would be.

Glad someone posted this.

Somewhat ironically. I can play guitar ok do most things ok but cannot solder because of fine motor movement issues. At least not anything half way decent.

Just saw these bad boyz. This seems like what ive been wanting. Look decent too imo at least the front. Also the effects thing has me curious (even though I never use them at least the wet stuff)

You can also purchase individual wireless soldering harnesses for your guitars for around $150 online if that is your primary goal.

Yeah i know i considered the mojotone too. Im sure its not a big deal but.

I got a little overwhelmed having this component to install in the guitar. Just looking at it then trying to read the installation. So I wrote them off until i felt i was going to use it more regularly at least. Im sure its way less stressful than my catastrophizing brain interpreted it.

The shark already having it in there plus a few other boxes checked off i like. No lizard brain overwhelmed. Except maybe the price point but these days, not a whole lot to do about it.

The entire system looks really cool, and I think the guitars look good as well. If you end up getting one, be sure to share it!
