Phil O'Keefe Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Check this out - Fender Tele with a computer built in! With thanks and props to Toxic Potatoe for sending me the link via email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kiwiburger Posted December 7, 2005 Members Share Posted December 7, 2005 Dang - I can cope with throwing an iPod in the trashcan when the software fails, but i'm not sure about throwing a Tele away. Why not just supply the guitar with a ticking time bomb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tedster Posted December 7, 2005 Members Share Posted December 7, 2005 Heck no, that's RIGHT. Now I can gig and post at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daklander Posted December 8, 2005 Members Share Posted December 8, 2005 The only reason they didn't do that with a Strat is the body isn't wide enough to fit the screen into it. That Tele slab is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 I hear they're working on retrofit kits for '52 Les Pauls... Yeah, this thing gives a whole new meaning to "belt buckle rash". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I'm a drummer right?, but put that guitar in my hands and you will swear that Jimi Hemdrix is playing. I'll just have the guitar send some Hendrix samples to the amp !

Members blackpig Posted December 8, 2005 Members Share Posted December 8, 2005 The whole concept is disgusting Doing stuff like that to a Tele is interfering with nature Do these imbeciles not realise that they are dealing with forces beyond human comprehension? No good will come of it I tell you - look at the misery and fear created when Rutherford split the atom or when Ford built the Edsel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dylan Walters Posted December 8, 2005 Members Share Posted December 8, 2005 Is this for real or some Photoshop job? I can't see how this would be practical in any sense.

Members Will Chen Posted December 8, 2005 Members Share Posted December 8, 2005 In concept, this is like a Variax on steroids. However the execution is so wrong. What would be cool to see is something like this as a guitar finish so you could have a slider on yout guitar to alter the tint or color of your guitar. That would be cool.

Members offramp Posted December 9, 2005 Members Share Posted December 9, 2005 Just what anyone needs...the 'Blue Screen Of Death' during their gig. Proof positive that American productivity has reached new lows and that the people most immediately affected by it have GOT to find something to do.

Members Kendrix Posted December 9, 2005 Members Share Posted December 9, 2005 So this is what they must mean by ubiquitous computing.Seems a bit silly.If you need to why not just carry your Blackberry or internet capable cell phone around with your guitar. I can just imagine the PC crashing and prompting some poor player to lose it and do a WHO style destructo bit on the guitar to get revenge on the PC. That would be cathartic.

Members rim Posted December 9, 2005 Members Share Posted December 9, 2005 Songwriting: For making riffs outside of your studio - record it anywhere it strikes you. For jotting down the perfect lyrics anywhere. For recording impromptu jam sessions anywhere. Gigging: For displaying your set list - no more worries about the stage being too dark to read it. For displaying words/cheat sheet - not while you're playing, but maybe as a quick review just before you do. For realtime concert video - hook up a webcam to it and stream your gig to your fans. For recording your gigs For a slow night - keep up with sports scores. Heck, the small crowd may appreciate you giving out updates. For checking the weather/traffic - for the ride to and from the gig. For getting to the gig - mapquest directions. For thanking the audience and still save your voice - Just type "Thank You" in big letters and flip it over to show the audience. Marketing: For showing your web site - instead of just giving a link, show the audience/bar managers your actual site. For always having your demo and press kit available - in case you run out of CDs/printed ones. Future Add-ons: GPS enabled - for security/theft retrieval Password protected - will only work if you type in the password for security Printer and CD-burner built into a Marshall stack Drum triggers that control stage lighting Bass with triggers for controlling stage pyrotechnics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
