Members shred and roll Posted December 26, 2005 Members Share Posted December 26, 2005 Here's a couple I like. I know some of these have been around a little longer than the 70s though. EMG pickups with built in preamps. The popularity of neck-through body construction. Onboard boosters like the original B.C. Rich guitars had. The original Floyd Rose tremolo system. The Kahler pro tremolo. All in one Schaller 455 series bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Worldcitizin Posted December 27, 2005 Members Share Posted December 27, 2005 Gotoh SG381 H.A.P.M. locking tuners! Turn smooth as silk and are post height adjustable so you can go without stringtrees. And the tremconverter from StewMac. Have it in my Strat and lets me switch my full floating tremolo to a dive-only trem or to a hardtail bridge just by turning two thumbwheels.

Members javaCat Posted December 27, 2005 Members Share Posted December 27, 2005 Ive only seen videos and I dont know how well it works and its not even my pick for best innovation, but the fret fretless neck. Someone posted it on here, its like a lever by the neck body joint. You move the lever and the frets sink or rotate or something and the fret markers are all thats left. Pretty cool for the jazz player. Btw, I think emgs are pretty cool and were a great innovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gaf-Yag-A-Ton Posted December 27, 2005 Members Share Posted December 27, 2005 Originally posted by orourke It's interesting that they put the innovative neck on a body that was designed half a century ago. yah... cause nobody can afford an actual Novax guitar. seriously though.... that picture was just illustrating that you can purchase a novax neck as a strat replacement neck to bring your guitar into 30th century and reap the intonation benefits of the system.

Members Gaf-Yag-A-Ton Posted December 27, 2005 Members Share Posted December 27, 2005 Q-tuner Neodymium pickups for guitar and bass are a serious advancement in the science of pickups. Whether or not you like the end result of their science is of course subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
