Pickup selecting guitar
Most of you have probably seen this, as it popped up on all of the Namm 2019 feeds.
It's a guitar with selectable pickups. Cheap too - only $16,000 US

Re: Pickup selecting guitar
You know when I was a kid all I wanted was one of those pens that let you select from one of 10 different colours, still want one today, if only for nostalgia reasons, this, not so much.

Yes I did too, but when I finally got one I discovered it was actually shit as a pen.jeremyb wrote:You know when I was a kid all I wanted was one of those pens that let you select from one of 10 different colours, still want one today, if only for nostalgia reasons, this, not so much.
Suspect it might be a similar case with this guitar too.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: Pickup selecting guitar
I strikes me that you could achieve much of the same effect with a single pickup guitar and a half decent effects unit. Probably cost less that $1000 NZD all up if you shopped smart.
