Go For The Digital Guitar

Forget The Electric Guitar, It's Time To
Go For The Digital Guitar 02/18/2004 01:19 PM
Growing up, I always thought the coolest thing my father owned was a beautiful Les Paul Gibson electric guitar. The famous electric guitars really haven't change all that much over the years since they were introduced, but they're finally catching up to the digital age. Gibson is getting ready to start selling a digital version of the guitar. It looks and plays like a regular Les Paul, but the sound is sent out digitally, making it easier to manipulate. Instead of regular audio cables, you'll plug in an ethernet cable (no WiFi?). Of course, some traditionalists are upset, and others point out that people will need all new equipment to use such a digital guitar. Among the features of the guitar will be the ability to upgrade the guitar as the digital offering improves. My first thought on reading this, though, was how soon it would be before someone hacks their guitar. We no longer need amplifiers that can go to 11, because we'll just be able to overclock our guitars.

Does Anyone Need VoWiFi-Cellular Combos?

Does Anyone Need VoWiFi-Cellular Combos? 08/30/2004 01:37 PM
In the last few months, there's been a lot of talk about combined VoWiFi/cellular phones with the idea that you could use voice over a WiFi network, where available, and cellular connections where WiFi is missing. Even ignoring the point that most of the devices that have been announced combining a cellular phone with VoWiFi have been hideously crippled by their manufacturers to barely work at all the way you would expect (and the way they might be useful), some are now pointing out that maybe the market really isn't so big, something we've suggested before. There are potential innovative uses combining VoIP and WiFi, but this insistence on "cheaper" calls doesn't make much sense in a world where most people have a zillion minutes and no long distance fees. Also, the eWeek article oddly spends way too much time focusing on how VoWiFi could be useful in hospitals, without ever bothering to note that hospitals are now changing their policies and allowing mobile phones, now that they've shown the phones don't interfere with most medical equipment.

attention 04/07/2005 04:54 AM
Last issue I brought up the various packages that Novell will be offering to entice you to buy its products. In particular, the marketing plan seems to be to offer a combination of an operating system with add-on applications and services appropriate to a certain industry niche. Open Enterprise Server is just one of those packages, along with SuSE Enterprise Linux Server, SuSE Linux Professional, Novell Linux Small Business Suite, and at the top end the "Validated Configuration Program for the Data Center." The next version of GroupWise will also ship with a free copy of SLES "in the box."

Dreamcast Guitar Amp

Dreamcast Guitar Amp 12/19/2004 03:01 PM

It's sort of a cut-and-paste job, but Vince Veneziani took a non-functional Sega Dreamcast and turned it into a guitar amp. The 1/4-inch jacks come out of the B and C controller ports, and the speaker (must be a small practice amp) is stuck where the fan used to be.

Ah Dreamcast, we will keep you in our hearts forever.

Hello Kitty Guitar

Hello Kitty Guitar 09/01/2004 09:36 AM

Although this Hello Kitty guitar is about four times the price of what I'd actually want to pay for it... hey, Hello Kitty guitar! The Fernandez-made electric has a built-in speaker and amplifier so you can plug a headphone right in and start writing your ode to ultimate adorability. And while the polka dot version is shown here, there is apparently a matching sparkly pink version the guy selling these can get a hold of. Now we're talking something worth $400.

What acolyte of rock wouldn't be proud to walk through a smokey club with a matching pink gig bag? None I would prefer to rock to, that's for sure.

JamPlug Guitar Amp

JamPlug Guitar Amp 08/16/2004 08:06 AM

DVForge's new JamPlug, an in-line (well, I guess most audio equipment is inline, but bear with me) amplifier that is billing itself as the "World's Smallest Guitar Amp," and for once a world's-smallest claim is probably on the money. The $60 piece runs on a single AAA battery and has a pair of strangely-familiar matching white headphones. The thumb wheel controls volume, and it even can be overdriven into some quality of distortion, which probably isn't the best sounding fuzz or crunch or whatever in the world, but if it can free the legion of pimply guitar noodlers from the curse that is the Rockman Metal Ace, then the amateur rock world will surely be a better place.

Won't ship until October, but you can get on the list now to be notified.

Optek Fretlight Guitar

Optek Fretlight Guitar 03/24/2005 02:53 PM

The Optek Fretlight combines a standard Stratocaster clone with a light-up LED neck, making it easier to learn how to play the guitar or learn new songs. The Fretlight happens to be a MIDI guitar, too, so you can send signals to it from standard music applications, or even other instruments. That means your instructor could play a short riff, which would light up on your guitar. And with quoted prices around $600 or so, it's relatively affordable (compared to other MIDI guitars, at least).
