132 PREMIERGUITAR AUGUST 2008
The Moog Guitar
($6495)
Hands down, the debut of the Moog Guitar
was the biggest buzz at the show. Featuring
revolutionary technology that works its magic
on the strings themselves (instead of working
through an effected signal), the Moog Guitar
can indefinitely sustain a string or remove
energy from the strings in Mute mode, yielding
a number of cool, banjo-esque sounds. Also
included is a Moog ladder filter and a completely blendable piezo pickup for an extreme
range of sounds. Combine all of that with a
5A maple top, a swamp ash body and ebony
fingerboard (which look much better in person,
we’ll note) and you have, without a doubt, the
innovation of the year.
