Watched the Promo for this guitar (yes I can't believe I got tricked into watching all 4 parts) and I thought that this new concept is quite awesome! 8.5 million different possible pickup combinations!
Well this is what I think are the pros and cons of this guitar.
Pros:
1)Able to get almost any pickup configurations. (Series, parallel, in phase, out of phase, reverse coil etc)
2)Able to store your favourite settings in different banks
3)All analogue circuitry, no digital modelling involved! eg. Gibson Darkfire
4)Great for guitarists that spend a lot of time in the studio or that need many different sounds on the fly!
5)(as stated) Able to switch through presets on the fly without having to connect to computer.
6)Share your settings online and get favourite settings from different artsits!
Cons:
1)No light indicator or some sort of indicator to show which preset you are currently using
2)Difficult to remember 10 different pickup combinations for each preset
3)Only available in black
I was reading about what people thought about it at TGP but they generally didn't like it and kept going on about who would use 8.5 million pickup configurations etc.
But I think they're missing the point. It's to choose your favourites and to save them! You don't necessarily have to utilize all of them!
IMHO I think I would have to try out this guitar to really decide whether it'll be on 'The List' or not.
If they came out with modules that can be installed on other guitars, it'll be a hit!
Any opinions?
