This looks very cool. No idea on pricing or availability.

Neat! That Indian Purvi scale style was wearing thin by the end but the sound is sure cool. What makes the Moog guitar unique? Is it the endless sustain?

Moog has been making standard guitars with this technology for a couple of years, I think. My understanding was that the main innovation was in the pickups, which can be controlled to either extend or dampen sustain. Anyway, you can buy the lap steel here:

I love the idea of infinite sustain without overdrive...and the on-board Moog filters. This is something to definitely check out.

Interesting, definitely. Not crazy about the tone, but since it's a synthesizer, I assume you can dial that in.

But for $2900, it better, as Geoff says, "turn itself on and tell you a joke, light you a drink and pour you a smoke."

NOT a synthesizer, more like an ebow magnetic type string exciter with onboard filters. A synthesizer creates the sound completely electronically with no mechanical origin (such as a string) for the sound.

This was a joke, right ? "Bad night in Little
