We live in a century when new technologies appear every day! And in the last 30 years the guitar equipment had a huge progress if talking about sound, design and quality. It’s always interesting to know what new features will appear in the next 10-20 years, so – let’s see what information can provide us the today’s online press about this topic!
Concept Guitars - What the Future Will Give Us
First of all, I would like to mention the Gibson Dark Fire guitar because I think that this is the best one if talking about future guitar technologies. I advice you to visit the Official Gibson Dark Fire page in order to read about this guitar from the official source. And here are some good videos I found at YouTube which I also advice you to watch to get more information – really good reviews! 1. Billy Morrison and the Dark Fire 2. The Guitar of the Future Today So, do you wish to have one? This pleasure will cost you about 3500$, think twice before buying it because for this sum of money maybe you’d better buy a custom Gibson Les Paul. The choice is after you!
The second guitar I would like to mention is the guitar with Intel processor inside. You still don’t believe? Here is the proof: Custom Fender Telecaster – a custom Fender Telecaster with a built-in PC. But I think that it’s just a prototype, because after searching the web for a while I couldn’t find much info covering this model!
Here is another interesting view of what a future guitar can have built-in: Video Guitars are the Future of Live Music – a nice instrument for live concerts, I don’t know about the the way it sounds, but you can make a great show using this instrument.
Another interesting combination: Guitar and iPod – visit this page to read the article.
My point of view is that in 20-30 years you will not be able to play a guitar without having a PC at home. The future is after computers and digital technologies. These technologies will be implemented in every aspect of our life and I think that the times when you will play a totally digital guitar are coming closer and closer!
