Internal Combustion Guitar

Recently we learned of a new guitar design, called the Internal Combustion Guitar. Instead of forcing the resonate energy to the outside of your guitar, the Internal Combustion Guitar's proprietary driver system gently pumps it back inside. Then, the guitar's coupling mechanism redistributes the controlled energy to your strings. Your touch sends signal to a small amp (6 watts or less) or processor combo. The small amp sends the conditioned signal back to the Internal Combustion Guitar, and the Internal Combustion Guitar power driver reenergizes the now harmonically enriched and colored string tone.

This guitar is very unique! For more information, visit their website.

Normandy Aluminum Guitars

In 2008, Normandy Guitars introduced the world’s first production aluminum archtop guitar. The Normandy guitar was born from a rocker’s love of classic guitars and the smooth, unique sound of aluminum streaming from the strings. In 2007, Jim Normandy started Normandy Guitars, the company that would make the world’s first production aluminum archtop. After 15 prototypes, the Normandy guitar was created. These guitars are slick. For more information, visit their website.

Moog Guitar Released

The Moog Guitar puts revolutionary new technology in the hands of the guitarist. Moog Music is known for building the finest instruments and the Moog Guitar is first and foremost a very fine guitar; designed to be played by the best musicians as their primary axe.

The addition of Moog Guitar Electronics opens guitarists to a whole new musical vocabulary: Not a guitar synthesizer, not a MIDI guitar or an effects processor; players are intimately connected to The Moog Guitar because it works its magic on the strings themselves.
